I've searched several questions about migrations and their answers, but I didn't find a satisfactory solution.
I want to use simple has_many and belongs_to relationships like
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
has_many :comments
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_many :comments
end
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :post
belongs_to :user
end
Is there any possibility to create database level constraints inside o开发者_运维技巧f the migration such as
post_id integer REFERENCES posts
or will I have to do this manually? At best I'd prefer a database-independent solution. Thanks in advance!
Edit: I'm currently using Postgresql, but I like to be flexible in regards of the underlying database.
Update: For the sake of database-independent code I stick with the following migration at the moment:
class AddRelations < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
add_column :posts, :user_id, :integer, :null => false
add_column :comments, :user_id, :integer, :null => false
add_column :comments, :post_id, :integer, :null => false
end
def self.down
remove_column :posts, :user_id
remove_column :comments, :user_id
remove_column :comments, :post_id
end
end
I still hope to find a more elegant solution. Maybe there's a gem for that.
Use the excellent foreigner gem to add the foreign keys in your migration:
add_foreign_key :posts, :users
add_foreign_key :comments, :users
add_foreign_key :comments :posts
