这似乎是一个相当普遍的问题,但没有确定的解决方案。再次重申,说我有一个模型:
def Model < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :somethings, ...
has_many :otherthings, ...
end
那么问题是如何添加结合这两者的第三个关联:combined
?我知道这可以通过:finder_sql
来完成,并且可以使用scope
来实现类似的结果,但这些都不能给我一个实际的关联。这一点的重点是能够将其用于与:through
的其他关联以及Model.first.combined.some_scope.count
编辑:实际代码的相关部分
class Donation < ActiveRecord::Base
# either Project or Nonprofit
belongs_to :donatable, :polymorphic => true
belongs_to :account
end
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :nonprofit
end
class Nonprofit < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :projects
# donations can be either direct or through a project
# the next two associations work fine on their own
# has_many :donations, :as => :donatable, :through => :projects
# has_many :donations, :as => :donatable
has_many :donations, .... # how do I get both here,
has_many :supporters, :through => :donations # for this to work?
end
感谢。
答案 0 :(得分:1)
如果Something
和Otherthing
足够相似,请使用STI:
def Model < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :somethings
has_many :otherthings
has_many :genericthings
end
def Genericthing < Activerecord::Base
# put a string column named "type" in the table
belongs_to :model
end
def Something < Genericthing
end
def Otherthing < Genericthing
end
