Check if a user has voted with scope


I am using acts as voteable to implement a web poll. With two choices it is simple to determine whether a user has voted or not.

@user.likes @comment1
@user.up_votes @comment2
# user has not voted on @comment3

@user.voted_for? @comment1 # => true
@user.voted_for? @comment2 # => true
@user.voted_for? @comment3 # => false

@user.voted_as_when_voted_for @comment1 # => true, user liked it
@user.voted_as_when_voted_for @comment2 # => false, user didnt like it
@user.voted_as_when_voted_for @comment3 # => nil, user has yet to vote

I need to has custom multiple choices and have implemented it based upon this: How do I setup a multi-option voting system using acts-as-votable?

The item above states you can check if a user has voted with voted_for? however this does include scoped items:

Poll.first.vote_by voter: User.first, vote_scope: 'blue'
User.first.voted_for? Poll.first #false
User.first.voted_for? Poll.first, :vote_scope => 'blue' #true

My question is what is the best way to determine if a user has voted when using scopes? Do I need to loop through and check each scope individually for each record?

Edit 1

Currently I have the following Poll instance method:

def has_voted?(user)
  ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'white'].each do |option|
    if user.voted_for? self, :vote_scope => option
      return true
    end
  end
  return false
end  

Poll.first.has_voted?(User.first)

Solution

  • It looks like you should be able to call Poll.first.votes_for and get a list of the votes that have been cast:

    p.votes_for
    => #<ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionProxy [#<ActsAsVotable::Vote id: 1,
    votable_type: "Poll", votable_id: 1, voter_type: "User", voter_id: 1, vote_flag: true,
    vote_scope: "blue", vote_weight: 1,
    created_at: "2017-11-05 22:12:52", updated_at: "2017-11-05 22:12:52">]>
    

    With that list you should be able to check if any of the voter_ids matches the User you are looking for:

    p.votes_for.any? { |v| v.voter_id == u.id }
    => true
