Mailboxer - All recipients except the originator of a conversation

Using Mailboxer I can find all participants in a conversation as

@participants = @conversation.participants

I can find the originator of a conversation using

@originator = @conversation.originator

Now I am trying to find all the participants except the originator.

@participants.delete_if { |participant| participant == @originator}

it is working fine but I wonder if there a better way of doing this? Thanks

Solution

  • None of the available helpers returns the participants without the originator. I expected recipients would help, but it does what participants do. Both the methods returns all recipients with originator included.

    # File 'app/models/mailboxer/conversation.rb', line 78

def participants
  recipients
end

# File 'app/models/mailboxer/conversation.rb', line 72

def recipients
  return [] unless original_message
  Array original_message.recipients
end

    You can use reject instead of delete_if but it is more or less the same. I recommend you to keep the current approach as it looks clean and better.
