RoR框架下基于Active Record的Model关联

Active Record Associations：http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html

1. belongs_to关联

新建Customer和Order2个model，然后生成表。

$ rails generate model Customer name:string
$ rake db:migrate

$ rails generate model Order customer:references order_date:datetime
$ rake db:migrate

customer.rb

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
end

order.rb

class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :customer
end

测试代码：

=begin    
    @order = Order.new
    @order.order_date = Time.now
    @customer = @order.create_customer(:name => 'LiftDNA')
    @order.save
=end

=begin
    @order = Order.new
    @order.order_date = Time.now
    @customer = @order.build_customer(:name => 'LiftDNA')
    @order.save
=end

=begin
    @customer = Customer.new
    @customer.name = 'LiftDNA'
    @order = Order.new
    @order.order_date = Time.now
    @order.customer = @customer
    @order.save
=end
    
    @order = Order.find(3)
    @customer = @order.customer

2. has_many关联

修改model：customer.rb

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :orders
end

这样可以通过如下方法从customer向order关联

@customer = Customer.find(3)
@orders = @customer.orders

显示在页面上

<%=
	@orders.map { |o| o.id }
%>

3. has_many :through关联

patient.rb

class Appointment < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :physician
  belongs_to :patient
end

physician.rb

class Physician < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :appointments
  has_many :patients, :through => :appointments
end

appointment.rb

class Appointment < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :physician
  belongs_to :patient
end

测试代码：

    @physicians = Physician.new
    @physicians.name = 'B3'
    @physicians.save
    @patients = Patient.new
    @patients.name = 'A2'
    @patients.physicians = [@physicians]
    @patients.save
