活动管理 - 通过has_many关联过滤

Question

I have a User model that has_many photos. I'm looking to set up a checkbox filter in Active Admin to filter those users who have photos. Basically where the photos association is present.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :photos
end

Is there an easy way to do this? I know you can filter by users who have a certain photo etc. but I haven't seen an example where you can filter by presence.

Answer 1

Finding the correct incantation of Ransack search methods is tricky. To search where the photos.id IS NOT NULL can be accomplished with the following filter:

ActiveAdmin.register User do
  # Filter users where photos.id is not null
  filter :photos_id_not_null, label: "With Photos", as: :boolean 
end

Answer 2

Solution that work for me :

Insert in model :

ransacker :has_photos do |parent|
  Arel.sql("(select exists (SELECT 1 FROM photos WHERE photos.parent_id = parents.id))")
end

Then use it in activeadmin filter :

filter :has_photos_true, as: :boolean

Find ref-1 & ref-2 .

Another version if you have a counter cache:

ransacker :has_photos do |parent|
  Arel.sql("#{parent.table.name}.report_files_count > 0")
end
