# GroupedScope: Has Many Associations IN (GROUPS) | ||
|
||
GroupedScope aims to make two things easier in your ActiveRecord models. First, provide an | ||
easy way to group objects. Second, to allow the group to share association collections via existing | ||
has_many relationships. See installation and usage for more details. | ||
|
||
http://metaskills.net/2008/09/28/jack-has_many-things/ | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Installation & Usage | ||
|
||
Install the gem with bundler. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
gem 'grouped_scope' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To use GroupedScope on a model it must have a `:group_id` column. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
class AddGroupId < ActiveRecord::Migration | ||
def up | ||
add_column :employees, :group_id, :integer | ||
end | ||
def down | ||
remove_column :employees, :group_id | ||
end | ||
end | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Assume the following model. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base | ||
has_many :reports | ||
grouped_scope :reports | ||
end | ||
``` | ||
|
||
By calling grouped_scope on any association you create a new group accessor for each | ||
instance. The object returned will act just like an array and at least include the | ||
current object that called it. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
@employee_one.group # => [#<Employee id: 1, group_id: nil>] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To group resources, just assign the same `:group_id` in the schema. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
@employee_one.update_attribute :group_id, 1 | ||
@employee_two.update_attribute :group_id, 1 | ||
@employee_one.group # => [#<Employee id: 1, group_id: 1>, #<Employee id: 2, group_id: 1>] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Calling grouped_scope on the :reports association leaves the existing association intact. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
@employee_one.reports # => [#<Report id: 2, employee_id: 1>] | ||
@employee_two.reports # => [#<Report id: 18, employee_id: 2>, #<Report id: 36, employee_id: 2>] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now the good part, all associations passed to the grouped_scope method can be called | ||
on the group proxy. The collection will return resources shared by the group. | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
@employee_one.group.reports # => [#<Report id: 2, employee_id: 1>, | ||
#<Report id: 18, employee_id: 2>, | ||
#<Report id: 36, employee_id: 2>] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You can even call scopes or association extensions defined on the objects in the collection | ||
defined on the original has_many. For instance: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
@employee.group.reports.urgent.assigned_to(user) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Todo List | ||
|
||
* Add more GroupedScope::Grouping code. | ||
* Add polymorphic support. | ||
* Add :through support. | ||
* Raise errors and/or support :finder_sql/:counter_sql. | ||
* Add a user definable group_id schema. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Testing | ||
|
||
Simple! Just clone the repo, then run `bundle install` and `bundle exec rake`. The tests will begin to run. We also use Travis CI to run our tests too. Current build status is: | ||
