I'm trying to get the following Mongoid relationships to work, but the game field of each team is an empty array. Is this not a valid relational model? Do I need to split up games, i.e. home_games and away_games?
class Team
include Mongoid::Document
has_many :games, :autosave => true
end
class Game
include Mongoid::Document
belongs_to :home_team, :class_name => "Team", :inverse_of => :games
belongs_to :away_team, :class_name => "Team", :inverse_of => :games
end
I dont think so there is a straight way to do this, may be you workaround by
class Team
include Mongoid::Document
has_many :home_played, :class_name => 'Game' , :inverse_of => :home_team
has_many :away_played, :class_name => 'Game' , :inverse_of => :away_team
def games
Game.any_of({:home_team_id => self.id},{:away_team_id => self.id})
end
end
class Game
include Mongoid::Document
belongs_to :home_team, :class_name => "Team", :inverse_of => :home_played
belongs_to :away_team, :class_name => "Team", :inverse_of => :away_played
end
so now you can use it like
g = Game.new
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+--------------+--------------+
| _id | _type | _id | home_team_id | away_team_id |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+--------------+--------------+
| 4ec76f70b356f8031f000001 | | 4ec76f70b356f8031f000001 | | |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+--------------+--------------+
1 row in set
>> t=Team.new
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
| _id | _type | _id |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
| 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 | | 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
1 row in set
>> t.save
=> true
g.home_team = t
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
| _id | _type | _id |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
| 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 | | 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
1 row in set
>> g.save
=> true
and
>> Team.first.home_played
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------+
| _id | _type | _id | home_team_id | away_team_id |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------+
| 4ec76f70b356f8031f000001 | | 4ec76f70b356f8031f000001 | 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 | |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------+
1 row in set
>> Game.first.home_team
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
| _id | _type | _id |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
| 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 | | 4ec76f75b356f8031f000002 |
+--------------------------+-------+--------------------------+
abd you can get the total count by
>> Team.first.games
Hope this helps
