Greetings All, I hope you all understand what I am writing here. Lots of views involve displaying date from static 'look up' tables: states, countries, type...
>From all of the documentation I have read, the standard code conduct seems @look_up_object = LookUpModel.find .where. conditions => ids match I pursued that structure, and for long listings, so many calls to database really bothered me. So I re-wrote the code on look-up for my case static item_conditions, containing only two field: conditions and item_conditions_id: In the view I now have, following found parent records: <% @icond = Itemconditions.find(:all, :readonly) %> <% @ih = Hash.new %> <% @ih2 = Hash.new %> <% @ih = @icond.to_a.map(&:serializable_hash) %> <% for kv in @ih %> <% @ih2[kv.fetch("item_conditions_id")] = kv.fetch("conditions") %> <% end %> And then later for iterative record output I have in the view, ldr as the parent data source <label class="item_listing">Condition: <%= @ih2[ldr.item_condition_id.to_s] %></label> Benchmarked this and vastly faster. Deployed it, no problems/errors. I have researched Ruby and Ruby on Rails API. I have not found a simpler, more native approach. Masters if you are aware of Ruby on Rails way, please let me know.
