I'm writing my first Rails app and I'm stuck at the database level. I have 2 models: User and Mission. They are connected very *unremarkably* like so:
User has_many :missions, dependent: :destroy Mission belongs_to :user I would like other users to be able to interact with missions by either: *liking them* and/or *marking them as completed* This is all very vanilla stuff here, but I'm struggling with adding this additional layer of interaction into the models. I started by creating a table Connection with attributes user_id mission_id liked:booleancompleted:boolean I added the following: User has_many :connections, dependent: :destroy Connection belongs_to :user Connection belongs_to :mission Do I need a has_many :through relationship? I'm trying to preserve the ownership between a User and a Mission ( belongs_to association ). I'm reading about polymorphic associations and am wondering if they are applicable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
