Hi. I believe that I need to write a method to get my user's
information, but I'm not sure how to write this and where it should go.
I have Reviews as polymorphic and there are several types items that can
be reviewed (books, music, movies, etc). A user can search for a book
and see all of the reviews for that book. Posted with each review, I
want to provide the name of the user. Based on what I have, what is the
best way to do this and where does this code go? Right now if I pull up
the book, I can see all of the reviews. In the review table I have the
review_user_id and now I want to display the name of that user from the
users table.
Here's my basic structure, but noting that I have put snippets of the
data here for brevity.
class CreateReviews < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :reviews
t.string :reviewable_type
t.integer :reviewable_id
t.string :title
t.text :body
t.integer :review_user_id
end
end
end
class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :users
t.string :name
end
end
end
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :reviewable, :polymorphic => true
end
class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :reviews, :as => reviewable
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :reviews, :as => :reviewable
end
THANKS!
