Using field of association for calculation in scope












0















Another has field some_field.



ThisTable belongs_to Another and has field local_field.



Now I would like to write scope some_filter for ThisTable:



scope :some_filter, ->(var_in) {
tmp1 = calc_sth(another.some_field, var_in)
tmp2 = calc_sth_else(another.some_field, var_in)
where(local_field: tmp1..tmp2)
}


I got error undefined local variable or method 'another' for #<ActiveRecord::AssociationRelation >



How to write this?

          Scopes are not executed on an instance of the object, they are basically class methods. By using another in your scope you don't really indicate for which ThisTable you want to get Another for. It's as if you called ThisTable.another - it won't work.

            scope is nothing but to define class methods. So self considered inside scope is always ThisTable Class object i.e. ActiveRecord Relation object.



            Here you called another (association method for ThisTable class object) inside scope on self which is class ThisTable itself.

            • You will call your scope as ThisTable.some_filter(var_in) but inside scope it is calling method calc_sth which will need object of Another class. So now tell me how that object will be evaluated because inside scope calc_sth will be treated as class method and self will be Class ThisTable itself

            • You can imagine some_field as some tag which indicates other information. For example, it can be teenager, which indicates age range, or weekday, which indicates day range. calc_sth and calc_sth_else will combine it with other criteria var_in to get a dynamic range tmp1..tmp2 based on Another's data. Then I would like to filter local_field on these dynamic ranges.
