Using another class scope in existing scope Activerecord - ruby-on-rails

I want to use the scope of another class in the scope of the first class
so instead of
scope :active, -> {includes(:b).where(b: {column: 'ACTIVE'}).where(a: {column2: 'ACTIVE'})}
I want to be able to use a scope of b
scope :active, -> {includes(b.active).where(a: {column2: 'Active'})}

You can do this using merge:
scope :active, -> { includes(:b).merge(B.active)
.where(a: {column2: 'Active'}) }
Note: I used B to represent the model class for the b column or object.
Or, assuming you're in a's model already:
scope :active, -> { includes(:b).merge(B.active)
.where(column2: 'Active') }
Also, if you WANT eager loading then using includes is great. Otherwise, it's faster and less overhead to use joins, like this:
scope :active, -> { joins(:b).merge(B.active)
.where(column2: 'Active') }

I recommend to use scope on model, if it's admin specific, then can separate it to concern
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Concern.html
module AdminUserScopes
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
scope :admin_scope1, -> { includes(:b).where(b: {column: 'ACTIVE'}).where(a: {column2: 'ACTIVE'}) }
scope :admin_scope2, -> { admin_scope1.where(a: {column2: 'Active'}) }
end
end
# in your model
include AdminUserScopes
# in active_admin
scope :active, -> { admin_scope1 }
scope :active2, -> { admin_scope2 }
Upd:
If you want to use one condition to other model then can use merge
Dog.all.merge(User.males) # => select * from dogs where sex = 1;
If you want to use in association filtering, then:
Post.where(user: User.males) # => select * from posts where user_id in (select users.id from users where sex = 1)
In your case I guess you have A and B, and you want to get active A-records what connected to active B-records
# in A
scope :active, -> { where(column: 'ACTIVE') }
# in B
scope :active, -> { where(column2: 'ACTIVE', a: A.active) }
# in somewhere else
scope :active, -> { where(a: A.active) } # => have active A which have active B
p.s. it's much easier with more informative names, "A's" and "B's" are hard :)

Can scopes be chained conditionally in Rails?

Consider this code:
class Car
scope :blue, -> { where(color: "blue") }
scope :manual, -> { where(transmission: "manual") }
scope :luxury, -> { where("price > ?", 80000) }
end
def get_cars(blue: false, manual: false, luxury: false)
cars = Car.all
cars = cars.blue if blue
cars = cars.manual if manual
cars = cars.luxury if luxury
end
Is there a way to chain these scopes like Car.blue.manual.luxury conditionally? I.e. only scope if the arg is true?
You can use yield_self(read more here), new functionality added in ruby 2.5 for it.
In your example:
class Car
scope :blue, -> { where(color: "blue") }
scope :manual, -> { where(transmission: "manual") }
scope :luxury, -> { where("price > ?", 80000) }
end
def get_cars(blue: false, manual: false, luxury: false)
cars = Car.all
.yield_self { |cars| blue ? cars.blue : cars }
.yield_self { |cars| manual ? cars.manual : cars }
.yield_self { |cars| luxury ? cars.luxury : cars }
end
ActiveRecord scopes can be applied conditionally, like this:
scope :blue, -> { where(color: 'blue') if condition }
Where condition is something you define that returns true or false. If the condition returns true, the scope is applied. If the condition is false, the scope is ignored.
You can also pass values into a scope:
scope :blue, ->(condition) { where(color: 'blue') if condition }
So, you could do something like this:
Task.blue(color == 'blue')
Which is similar to what the OP requested. But, why would you?
A better approach is something like this:
scope :color, ->(color) { where(color: color) if color.present? }
Which would be called like this:
Car.color('blue') # returns blue cars
Car.color(nil) # returns all cars
Car.color(params[:color]) # returns either all cars or only cars of a specific color, depending on value of param[:color]
Car.color(params[:color]).transmission(params[:transmission]).price(params[:price])
Your mileage may vary.

How to get children records of a scoped parent in Rails 5

I need a controller to pass along children records of parents that match a certain scope. I'd like that scope to be on the parent record.
class Parent < ApplicationRecord
has_many :children
scope :not_blue, -> { where(blue:false) }
scope :blue, -> { where(blue:true) }
# Subjective, may change in the future
scope :funny, -> { where('funny_scale>=?',5) }
scope :genies, -> { blue.funny }
end
class Child < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :parent, required: true
end
class ChildrenController < ApplicationController
def index
# Yeah, this breaks horribly (and should), but you get my gist
#children_of_genies = Parent.genies.children
end
end
I know the answer is probably staring me in the face, but the right combination of google searches is eluding me.
If you'd like your solution to still be an ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionProxy try Children.where(parent_id: Parent.genies.ids) which you then could turn into a scope.
scope: children_of_genies, -> { where(parent_id: Parent.genies.ids)
Scopes return an ActiveRecord_Relation, to get children for each member of it you can use collect:
#children_of_genies = Parent.genies.collect { |p| p.children }

Rails Model scope chaining based on dynamic scope name list

Let's say I have some model
class MyModel < ApplicationRecord
scope :opened, -> { where(status: 'open') }
scope :closed, -> { where(status: 'closed') }
scope :colored, -> { where.not(color: nil) }
# etc
end
I can call scope chains like
MyModel.opened.colored
MyModel.send('opened').send('colored')
But how can I make scope chaining based on dynamic scope token list? I mean
scopes = ['opened', 'colored', ...]
The list may be very long and I need some general solution to do it as simple as possible, like MyModel.send_list(scopes).
More as result of scope, you can add like,
scope :send_list, -> (*scopes) { scopes.inject(self) { |out, scope| out.send(scope) } }
send this like YourModel.send_list(*scopes)

How do I create a scope for an array?

The following code gives an empty scope. Category_ids is an array of categories.
scope :art, ->{ where(:category_ids => '1') }
How do I check to see if one of the categories exist in the array?
If you use Postgres you can use this approach: https://www.viget.com/articles/searching-serialized-fields-in-rails-using-postgres-arrays
get the categories
correct your where query
Example:
has_many :categories
scope :art, -> { required = [Category.first]; where(categories: required) }
I assume that in your model, you have categories association. In this case, you can just use categories: required in your where query. required should be set to an array of categories which you wanted
You say that category_ids is an array of categories(I'm assuming category id's). Are you trying to return all records with a category ID that is in that array? If so you're looking for:
scope :art, -> { where (:category_id => category_ids) }
Or with the new ruby syntax:
scope :art, -> { where(category_id: category_ids) }
If I've misunderstood and you're looking for any record with a category ID of 1, then you're looking for:
scope :art, -> { where(category_id: '1') }

Drying up multiples scopes with simialar queries

I am noticing a trend with my scopes and trying to figure out how to make it dry
scope :newest, -> { order('created_at DESC') }
scope :top_sold, -> { order('qty_sold DESC') }
scope :most_viewed, -> { order('qty_viewed DESC') }
scope :most_downloaded, -> { order('qty_download DESC') }
scope :most_favorited, -> { order('qty_favorited DESC') }
I would like to pass in the column I want sorted so that I can call it on Photo. I tried this, but running into problems
scope :sort_photos, -> type { order('type DESC') }
Photo.sort_photos('qty_download')
Am I on the right path or is there a smarter way to accomplish this?
Pass type as a scope parameter and use that in order clause with string interpolation:
scope :sort_photos,->(type) { order("#{type} DESC") }
Then do:
Photo.sort_photos('qty_download')
The order method takes a String or a Hash. So instead of order('created_at DESC') you can do order(created_at: :desc), for example. So, to accomplish what you want, it's as simple as changing the key to your type variable:
scope :sort_photos, -> type { order(type => :desc) }
I would also recommend using a sentinel for your order scopes such as by_. So that the scope by_sort_photos doesn't get overridden by definition of a sort_photos method or assoication later.
Finally, it's good to have a public interface full of methods, as opposed to requiring knowledge of the class attributes and passing those attribute names into a public interface method. So I'd keep the many different scopes that you have, but perhaps have them all refer to the one, general scope as we've defined here. So:
scope :newest, -> { by_most_recent_type('created_at') }
scope :top_sold, -> { by_most_recent_type('qty_sold') }
scope :by_most_recent_type, -> type { order(type => :desc) }
