I have the following model relationships:
class Author
has_many :posts
end
class Post
belongs_to :author
has_many :comments
end
class Comment
belongs_to :post
end
I have boolean columns "active" for Authors and "published" for Posts.
I want to find all comments where author.active: true and post.published: true
Could anyone help me out? I'm able to get all Posts from an Author with author.active: true by using a joins statement (this code in the Post model):
joins(:author).where(authors: {active: true})
but I can't seem to figure out how to get all comments where author.active: true and post.published: true.
This should work
Comment.joins(:post => :author).where("authors.active = true AND posts.published = true" )
or
Comment.joins(:post => :author).where(:post => {:published => true, :author => {:active => true}})

class Answer < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :question_id, :result, :user_id
end
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :prompt, :topic
end
I have the following 2 models above in my Rails app. I'd like to run a query that selects questions that have a certain topic (Math) but that are unanswered for a given user_id (result = "Unanswered").
I'm having trouble coming up with the query that would get this.
first_question = Question.where(:topic => "Math")
But I'm not sure how to incorporate the :result => "Unanswered" from the Answer table. Any advice?
To get all unanswered questions for user #1 under the MATH topic use:
Question.includes(:answers).where(:topic => 'MATH', 'answers.result' => 'Unanswered', 'answers.user_id' => 1)
If you want to just get the first unanswered question:
Question.includes(:answers).where(:topic => 'MATH', 'answers.result' => 'Unanswered', 'answers.user_id' => 1).first
I might create some scopes to make these easier to reuse:
class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :answers
scope :topic, lambda {|topic|
where(:topic => topic)
}
scope :unanswered_by, lambda { |user|
includes(:answers).where('answers.result' => 'Unanswered', 'answers.user_id' => user.id)
}
end
So you can then query like this:
user = User.last
Question.topic('MATH').unanswered_by(user)
You could use a joins to do an inner join between the questions and answers table, then merge a query for :result => "Unanswered":
Question.joins(:answer).where(:topic => "Math", :user_id => <user_id>).merge(Answer.where(:result => "Unanswered"))
I have post model
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_voteable
end
and Vote model
class Vote < ActiveRecord::Base
scope :for_voter, lambda { |*args| where(["voter_id = ? AND voter_type = ?", args.first.id, args.first.class.name]) }
scope :for_voteable, lambda { |*args| where(["voteable_id = ? AND voteable_type = ?", args.first.id, args.first.class.name]) }
scope :recent, lambda { |*args| where(["created_at > ?", (args.first || 2.weeks.ago)]) }
scope :descending, order("created_at DESC")
belongs_to :voteable, :counter_cache=>true,:polymorphic => true,:touch=>true
belongs_to :voter, :polymorphic => true
attr_accessible :vote, :voter, :voteable
# Comment out the line below to allow multiple votes per user.
validates_uniqueness_of :voteable_id, :scope => [:voteable_type, :voter_type, :voter_id]
end
when I get the post voters with these method
<% #post.voters_who_voted.each do |voter|%>
<%= voter.name %>
<% end %>
I load my database
how can I select only the user name and user id from these array?
update I changed my code I am using thumbs_up gem I pasted less code first to simplify the question
What do you mean by "load database"? If you want to select only id and name columns, then use #post.users.select([:id, :name]).each ...
Or is it about this problem (according to code that you provided)?
UPD.
voters_who_voted loads all voters and returns array https://github.com/bouchard/thumbs_up/blob/master/lib/acts_as_voteable.rb#L113. You have to add own association to Post model:
has_many :voters, :through => :votes, :source => :voter, :source_type => 'User'
It's just example, perhaps voters will clash with already existing method, if any.
Then use it here instead of voters_who_voted
did you try collect method ??
names = #post.users.collect(&:name)
ids = #post.user.collect(&:id)
If you want it to be related you can make a HASH with it. Id's mapped to the names.
I have this relation in my Product model:
has_many :features, :class_name => 'ProductFeature', :source => :product_feature, :include => :feature
So I can do Product.features
which works fine. But I want to be able to filter that by fields in the feature table, when and if necessary. For example in pseudo code:
find all product features where feature is comparable
compare is a bool field on the feature.
I have been trying for 2 hours solid and cannot figure it out (without writing a new query completely). I can't figure out how to access the feature table's fields from the Product.features relation, as it seems it can only filter on product_features fields.
This is what I have come up with so far:
def features_compare
features.feature.where(:compare => true)
end
But it just says feature is not a valid method, which I understand.
Edit
I have updated my model so the relationships are clearer:
product.rb:
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :company
belongs_to :insurance_type
has_many :product_features
has_many :reviews
attr_accessible :description, :name, :company
end
product_feature.rb:
class ProductFeature < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :product
belongs_to :feature
delegate :name, :to => :feature
attr_accessible :value
end
feature.rb
class Feature < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :compare
end
I want to be able to query the product_features that belong to a product and feature where Feature.compare is true. Something like this:
product.rb
def features_compare
product_features.where(:compare => true)
end
This throws an error because compare in in the Feature model, not ProductFeature. I have tried the following in product_feature.rb:
delegate :compare, :to => :feature
but I didn't help.
I will adding a bounty to this in a few hours so please please help me!
find all product features where feature is comparable is just
ProductFeature.joins(:feature).where(:feature => {:compare => true})
You can make that a bit more reusable by introducing a scope:
#in product_feature.rb
scope :with_feature_like, lambda do |filter|
joins(:feature).where(:feature => filter)
end
#elsewhere
ProductFeature.with_feature_like(:compare => true)
#all the product features of a certain product with at comparable features
some_product.product_features.with_feature_like(:compare => true)
Finally, if you want all products with product features with comparable features, you want something like:
Product.joins(:product_features => :feature).where(:feature => {:compare => true})
which of course you can also turn into a scope on Product.
This seems like a has_many :through relationship. Try changing this:
has_many :features, :class_name => 'ProductFeature', :source => :product_feature, :include => :feature
to this:
has_many :product_features
has_many :features, :through => :product_features
As long as your ProductFeature model has this:
belongs_to :product
belongs_to :feature
And you have the appropriate columns on product_features (product_id, feature_id), then you should be able to access that product's features and all the attributes on both Product and ProductFeature.
See here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html#the-has_many-through-association
EDIT: Here's how to filter by feature fields.
Product.joins(:features).where(:features => {:name => "Size"})
#product.each |p| { p.features.where(:comparable => true) } is probably your best bet here, but I'm open to being enlightened.
my problem is following. How can I joins belongs_to association from polymorphic model
There is situation
opinion.rb
class Opinion < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :opinionable, :polymorphic => true
belongs_to :category
end
answer.rb
class Answer < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :opinions, :as => :opinionable
end
How can i do following
Opinion.joins(:opinionabe).all
it will throw
ArgumentError: You can't create a polymorphic belongs_to join without specifying the polymorphic class!
How can i specific which class i want to join?
Second question. How to preload it?
Opinion.preload(:opinionable).all
works fine. It will do query for each class in belongs_to.
But. if i want to do something like
Opinion.preload(:opinionable => :answer_form).all
there is problem because one model has this association and second hasn't. So it will throw exception.
So how i can do something like
Opinion.preload(:answer => :answer_form, :another_belongs_to_model).all
?
Thanks, David!
Actually if you just do
belongs_to :opinionable_answer, :foreign_key => :opinionable_id, :class_name => "Answer", conditions: { opinions: { opinionable_type: "Answer"}}
then you can do
Opinion.joins(:opinionable_answer).where(answers: { awesome: true})
It looks like you have not specified opinionable_type:string column for your Opinion model.
Try to update your migration in this manner:
class CreateOpinions < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :opinions do |t|
t.integer :opinionable_id
t.string :opinionable_type
# ... other fields
t.timestamps
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :opinions
end
end
This will solve your second question and Opinion.preload(:opinionable).all should work well.
You cann't do joins on polymorphic association because they can be located in different tables, which are detected after Opinion model is loaded. That why model needs column opinionable_type.
If you try to do this you'll get next exception
ActiveRecord::EagerLoadPolymorphicError: Can not eagerly load the polymorphic association :opinionable
UPD: Added magic join ^_^
class Opinion < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :opinionable, :polymorphic => true
belongs_to :opinionable_answer, :foreign_key => :opinionable_id, :class_name => "Answer"
scope :by_type, lambda { |type| joins("JOIN #{type.table_name} ON #{type.table_name}.id = #{Opinion.table_name}.opinionable_id AND #{Opinion.table_name}.opinionable_type = '#{type.to_s}'") }
end
Example:
Opinion.by_type(Answer).to_sql
=> "SELECT \"opinions\".* FROM \"opinions\" JOIN answers ON answers.id = opinions.opinionable_id AND opinions.opinionable_type = 'Answer'"
I know this question is old but I just spent an hour looking for the solution to a similar problem (Rails 3) and the only way I got it to work was the solution stated here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25966630/6878997
Which, in your case would be:
class Opinion < ActiveRecord::Base
# The true polymorphic association
belongs_to :opinionable, polymorphic: true
# The trick to solve this problem
has_one :self_ref, :class_name => self, :foreign_key => :id
has_one :answer, :through => :self_ref, :source => :opinionable, :source_type => Answer
end
Seems tricky but this way you will be able to do multiple chained joins such as:
joins(answer: :other_model).
And whenever opinion.opinionable is not an Answer, opinion.answer will return nil.
Hope it helps somebody!
Suppose we have a photography site. Any author can subscribe to receive updates from any other author. Obviously if author A is subscribed to author B that doesn't mean that B is subscribed to A. So we build models
class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :subscriptions
has_many :subscribed_by_author, :through => :subscriptions, :source => :subscribed_to
end
class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :author
belongs_to :subscribed_to, :class_name => "Author", :foreign_key => "subscribed_to"
end
This way we can use
some_author.subscribed_by_author -- the list of the authors to whom some_author is subscribed.
For any subscription we can know both ends (who is subscribed to whom)
But the question is how to get the list of people subscribed to some author using only rails (not using plain SQL) i.e get the answer to :"Who is subscribed to some_author?"
Question: is there any ability in Rails to get the relationship working both sides i.e. not only writing some_author.subscribed_BY_author but having some_author_subscribed_TO_author? If there is one, then what is it?
P.S. Obvious solution is to
Change the database design, adding a column named "direction"
Create 2 records each time a subscription is created
Add to the author model
has_many :subscribed_BY_author, :through => :subscriptions, :source => :subscribed_to, :conditions => "direction = 'by'"
has_many :subscribed_TO_author, :through => :subscriptions, :source => :subscribed_to, :conditions => "direction = 'to'"
But i wonder if there is a solution without changing the database design.
I'd use plain HABTM for something simple like this, but you're going to need a join table no matter what.
create_table :subscriptions do |t|
t.column :author_id, :integer
t.column :subscriber_id, :integer
end
Point Author to it:
class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :subscribers
:class_name => "Author",
:join_table => "subscriptions",
:association_foreign_key => "subscriber_id"
def subscriptions # "subscribers" is already included above
self.subscribers.find(:all, :subscriber_id=>author.id) # hopefully not too
end # much SQL
end
If you're really committed to your method names:
def subscribed_to_author
subscribers
end
def subscribed_by_author(author)
self.subscribers.find(:all, :subscriber_id=>author.id)
end
Create some connections (I'd make SubscriptionsController to be RESTy)
SubscriptionsController < ApplicationController
def create
#author = Author.find(params[:author_id] # author to be subscribed to
#user = current_user # user clicking the "subscribe" button
#author.subscribers << #user # assuming authors should only
#author.save # be able to subscribe themselves
end
end
Display names, or whatever
#author.subscribers.each do |s|
s.name
end
# ...or...and...also...
<%= render :partial => #author.subscribers -%>
<%= render :partial => #author.subscriptions -%>
# Author model
has_many :subscriptions_to, :class_name => "Subscription", :foreign_key => "subscribed_to"
has_many :subscribed_to_author, :through => :subscriptions_to, :source => :author
As far as I know - it works! :)
