I have 3 tables
area
namearea_shared
area_id
request_idrequest
area_shared_id
area_id
I'd like to display my table in this way <% = @ request.area_shared.area_name% >
But I think my relationships are wrong, can anyone help me?
Obs: Remembering that within the request form I have a fields_for with area_shared that works, the problem is only to display itself.
In order to call @ request.area_shared you need a relation 1 (request) to 1 (area_shared). The same from area_shared to area if that's what you want. (@ Request.area_shared.area.name)
area name #belongs_to: area_shared area_shared_id
area_shared request_id #belongs_to: request #has_one: area
request #has_one: area_shared
I would do so:
class Area < ...
has_many :shared_areas
end
and ...
class Request < ...
belongs_to :shared_areas
end
and ...
class SharedArea < ...
belongs_to :area
has_many :requests
end
With this, I could do:
<%= @request.shared_area.area.name %>
In any case, show me how your code is so I can improve my answer. But from what I understand, that's what you need.
