这是在Rails中保存关联的正确方法吗？

Question

I'm trying to save to two association tables (tours/stops, and stops/venues) while saving one model (stops). Tours has_many stops and stops belongs to both the association tables.. but because I'm in the Stops controller I can only seem to save via @tour.stops.create so I manually did a create..

Here's my code from the stops controller

class StopsController < ApplicationController

  def create
    tour_id = params[:stop][:tour_id]
    #check to make sure venue matches before saving
    venue_name = params[:stop][:venue_name]
    venue_id = Venue.find_by(name: venue_name).id



    @tour = Tour.find(tour_id)

    @stop = @tour.stops.create(strong_params)

    #this seems like it might be ghetto

    Stopsvenuesmembership.create!(venue_id: venue_id, stop_id: @stop.id)

Answer 1

I believe the traditional way of doing this would be

@stop = @tour.stops.create(params)

@venue = Venue.find_by_name(venue_name) # or however you want to find it
@venue.stops << @stop
