Rails通过关联加入

Question

在Ruby on Rails中，我想找到这个城市的雇主。 让我们说模型是这样设置的：

City
has_many :suburbs
has_many :households, :through => suburbs
has_many :people, :through => suburbs

Suburb
has_many :households
has_many people, :through => households
belongs_to :city


Household
has_many :people
belongs_to :suburb

People
belongs_to :household
belongs_to :employer


Employer
has_many :people

我觉得我想要某种雇主加入some_city.people，但我不知道如何做到这一点。 如果人们直接属于城市，我可以将雇主加入到city_id所属的人群中，但我希望在没有直接加入的情况下找到相同的数据，我有点迷失。

谢谢。

Answer 1

使用嵌套连接

Employer.joins({:people => {:household => {:suburb => :city}}}) 

应该给你你正在寻找的联接表。 如果您正在遍历另一个方向，则使用复数名称

City.joins( :suburbs => {:households => {:people => :employers }})

Answer 2

你可以像jvans所说的那样进行连接。 或者您可以设置如下关系：

class Employer < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :people
  has_many :households, through: :people
  has_many :suburbs, through: :households
  has_many :cities, through: :suburbs
end

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :household
  belongs_to :employer
end


class Household < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :suburb
  has_many :people
end

class Suburb < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :city
  has_many :households
  has_many :people, through: :households
end

class City < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :suburbs
  has_many :households, through: :suburbs
  has_many :people, through: :households
  has_many :employers, through: :people
end

然后你可以直接从Employer加入City ，反之亦然。

例如：

Employer.joins(:cities).where("cities.name = ?", "Houston").first

SELECT "employers".* FROM "employers" 
INNER JOIN "people" ON "people"."employer_id" = "employers"."id" 
INNER JOIN "households" ON "households"."id" = "people"."household_id" 
INNER JOIN "suburbs" ON "suburbs"."id" = "households"."suburb_id" 
INNER JOIN "cities" ON "cities"."id" = "suburbs"."city_id" WHERE (cities.name = 'Houston') 
LIMIT 1
