Saving a Record with Rails Association
- by tshauck
Hi,
I've been going through the Rails Guides, but have gotten stuck on associations after going through validations and migrations. So, I have the following models Job and Person, where a Person can have many jobs. I know that in reality there'd be a many-to-many, but I'm trying to get my handle on this first.
class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :people
end
and
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :jobs
end
Here's the schema
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20110108185924) do
create_table "jobs", :force => true do |t|
t.string "occupation"
t.boolean "like"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
t.integer "person_id"
end
create_table "people", :force => true do |t|
t.string "first_name"
t.string "last_name"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
end
end
Is there some I can do the following j = Job.first; j.Person? Then that'd give me access to the Person object associated with the j. I couldn't find it on guides.rubyonrails.org, although it has been very helpful getting a grip on migrations and validations thus far.
Thanks
PS, If there are any tutorials that covers more of this kind of things links would be great.
