Associate field in associated table

Rails

Hello! Here’s come code:

ItemSupplier.first.item.name # returns name

I want:

ItemSupplier.first.name

Is there a more correct way than:

def name
item.name
end

Thanks a bunch,

To return the same name. Is it possible to do that?

Provide an instance method of ItemSupplier, called name, that returns
item.name. Don’t forget to check for item nil.
