How would I access the wildcard_participant attribute on the proxy table for each of the participants below?
How would I set it?
I’ve seen the example here (sql - Rails 4 Accessing Join Table Attributes - Stack Overflow) but can’t make it work in Rails 6.
Thank you for any help or insight you may have! Alternatively, if I am going against the framework here, what’s a best practice approach to attributes on the join table (a very common pattern)?
class User < ApplicationRecord
has_many :participations
has_many :programs, through: :participations, source: :program
end
class Program < ApplicationRecord
has_many :participations
has_many :participants, through: :participations, source: :user
end
class Participation < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :program
belongs_to :user
end
create_table "participations", id: false, force: :cascade do |t|
t.bigint "user_id", null: false
t.bigint "program_id", null: false
t.boolean "wildcard_participant", default: false
t.index ["program_id", "user_id"], name: "index_participations_on_program_id_and_user_id"
t.index ["user_id", "program_id"], name: "index_participations_on_user_id_and_program_id"
end
class ParticipantsController < ApplicationController
...
def index
@participants = current_program.participants
# how would I access the wildcard_participant attribute on the proxy table for each of the participants?
end
end
