Hi,
I’m trying to change an app I have that right now has this relationship:
Team has many Matches
I also have the appropriate Team and Match controllers, and routes:
map.resources :matches
map.resources :teams, :has_many => :matches
I need to add two different types of matches - qualifications and
finals, so I thought STI would
be helpful. So I set up:
class Match < ActiveRecord::Base
class Qualification < Match
belongs to team
class Final < Match
belongs to team
and change the Team model to have:
has_many :qualifications
has_many :finals
I added the “type” column to the matches table to make the magic work.
Now, through the console to
do some testing/investigation, I am able to add qualifications and
finals to a team.
Now I’m trying to modify the controllers and views to be able to add a
new qualification or final
match to a team. Do I now have to add two new controllers and pretty
much duplicate the Match
controller in each? To enter match data for a team, I created a link
using:
new_team_match_path(team)
I think I would need to change my routes to include:
map.resources :matches
map.resources :qualifications
map.resources :finals
map.resources :teams, :has_many => :qualifications
map.resources :teams, :has_many => :finals
Now I’m not so sure this is the way to go. Any hints or comments would
be extremely helpful!
Thanks
