我有两个模特(课程和舞者)。一门课程可以有很多舞者(学生)和老师(也是舞者)。教师可以是其他课程的学生。
我按如下方式定义表:
create_table "course_enrollments", :force => true do |t|
t.integer "dancer_id", :null => false
t.integer "course_id", :null => false
t.datetime "attended_on", :null => false
end
create_table "courses", :force => true do |t|
t.string "name", :null => false
t.string "genre"
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
end
create_table "courses_teachers", :id => false, :force => true do |t|
t.integer "course_id", :null => false
t.integer "teacher_id", :null => false
end
create_table "dancers", :force => true do |t|
t.string "first_name", :null => false
t.string "last_name", :null => false
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
end
班级:
class Dancer < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :course_enrollments
has_many :courses, :through => :course_enrollments
has_many :teachers, :through => :courses
end
class Course < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :course_enrollments
has_many :dancers, :through => :course_enrollments
has_and_belongs_to_many :teachers, :class_name => 'Dancer'
end
class CourseEnrollment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :dancer
belongs_to :course
end
根据指南(http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html),我希望Course的teachers属性能够查找表courses_teachers并使用teacher_id作为外键。相反,它正在寻找courses_dancers和dancer_id,大概是从class_name设置为'Dancer'。这是设计还是错误?如果我这样做,我可以让它工作:
has_and_belongs_to_many :teachers, :class_name => 'Dancer', :join_table => :courses_teachers
并在courses_teachers表中将teacher_id重命名为dancer_id
有更好的方法吗?
答案 0 :(得分:2)
如果查看api for habtm,可以选择foreign_key
和association_foreign_key
。请尝试以下
has_and_belongs_to_many :teachers, :class_name => 'Dancer', :join_table => :courses_teachers, :foreign_key => :course_id, :association_foreign_key => :teacher_id
我不确定它是否可以在没有通过foreign_key
选项的情况下工作,但它可能会在没有它的情况下尝试。
