rails joining two tables together

Question

I want to join two tables together. I haven't created the 2nd table as of yet but the first one already exists.

Basically I have this web scrape returning data like:

[
  ["formatted_sum_fees", "£5.60"],
  ["formatted_price", "£46.50"],
  ["formatted_sum_fees", "£4.50"],
  ["formatted_price", "£37.50"],
  ["formatted_sum_fees", "£3.30"],
  ["formatted_price", "£27.50"]
]

I want to place this in a table. And link all these things that are returned from my webscrape to the event.

The new table will have at a guess this structure:

ID|EventID|Price|Fees

How would I go about saving this information (from above) into the new table against an event id?

Then I guess if I want to use it in the controller I would be able to call something set in the model? The event is being created via a raketask. The webscrape can be put into the same task I started to do this but got confused quite fast.

Answer 1

you have to add relation between these two tabels ie in table_2 model add belongs_to table_1 line

& when you create table_2 add event_id equal to tabel_1 id.
