class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :favorites
has_many :favorite_categories, :through => :favorites, :source => :category
has_many :favorite_authors, :through => :favorites, :source => :author
end
class Favorite < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :category # favorite category
belongs_to :author # favorite author
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :category
belongs_to :author
named_scope :order_by_user, lambda {|user| where(
:category_id => user.favorite_categories.map(&:id),
:author_id => user.favorite_authors.map(&:id)
)}
end
user = User.first
posts = Post.order_by_user(user)
Альтернатива: меньше запросов, но модель пользователя выбирает данные из Favorite
class Favorite < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :category # favorite category
belongs_to :author # favorite author
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :favorites
def favorite_category_ids
Favorite.where(:user_id => self.id).select(:category_id).map(&:category_id).compact
end
def favorite_author_ids
Favorite.where(:user_id => self.id).select(:author_id).map(&:author_id).compact
end
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :category
belongs_to :author
named_scope :order_by_user, lambda {|user| where(
:category_id => user.favorite_category_ids,
:author_id => user.favorite_author_ids
)}
end
user = User.first
posts = Post.order_by_user(user)
