以Ryan Bates的asciicast为例: http://asciicasts.com/episodes/163-self-referential-association
他以User
的两个关联结束鉴于用户不关心是谁煽动友谊,你会想要一个简单的用户关联
由两种关系组成。即用户发起的关系和用户朋友发起的关系。
那么如何实现这种双向自引用关联?
更新 - Josh Susser在此发表了一篇文章: http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/2006/4/21/self-referential-through
然而,它仍然讨论has_many:sources和has_many:sink真的应该有一个has_many:包含源和接收器的节点。
答案 0 :(得分:8)
看看这对你有用吗?
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :friendships, :foreign_key => "person_id", :class_name => "Friendship"
has_many :friends, :through => :friendships
def befriend(user)
# TODO: put in check that association does not exist
self.friends << user
user.friends << self
end
end
class Friendship < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :person, :foreign_key => "person_id", :class_name => "User"
belongs_to :friend, :foreign_key => "friend_id", :class_name => "User"
end
# Usage
jack = User.find_by_first_name("Jack")
jill = User.find_by_first_name("Jill")
jack.befriend(jill)
jack.friends.each do |friend|
puts friend.first_name
end
# => Jill
jill.friends.each do |friend|
puts friend.first_name
end
# => Jack
这是一个
的数据库表模式users
- id
- first_name
- etc...
friendships
- id
- person_id
- friend_id
