如何按关联对记录进行排序?

How to sort records by association?

如何按其关联模型之一对记录进行排序?在下面的代码中,当访问 .box_chocolates 关联时,我需要它到按 Chocolate#name:

排序的 return 记录
b = Box.first
b.box_chocolates # <-- records must be ordered by Chocolate#name

模型结构:

class Box < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :box_chocolates # <--- ???
end

class BoxChocolate < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :box
  belongs_to :chocolate
end

# id    :integer
# name  :string
class Chocolate < ApplicationRecord      
end

我在 Box class 中创建了一个自定义方法,但我不喜欢它的工作方式 - 它使用 Ruby 对记录进行排序而不是 SQL 查询:

def ordered_box_chocolates
   box_chocolates.sort { |a, b| a.chocolate.name <=> b.chocolate.name }
end

我知道我可以像下面的代码一样在 has_many 中指定顺序,但它不起作用:

class Box < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :box_chocolates, -> { order("chocolate.name") }
end

b.box_chocolates.joins(:chocolate).order("chocolates.name asc")

您可以在框中创建作用域或方法,如下例

class Box < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :box_chocolates 

  def self.box_chocolates_ordered
    joins(box_chocolates: :chocolate).order('chocolates.name')
      # you have to use table name in plural form (chocolates)
  end
end

b = Box.first
b.box_chocolates_ordered

尝试以下操作:

has_many :box_chocolates, -> { order 'chocolates.name' }, through: :chocolate
