I am trying to modify Sharetribe, a Ruby on Rails framework for online communities. There is this method that returns me relevant search filters.
For now, it returns me a filter if it is present in any one of the categories (identified by category_ids
) .
I would like it to return a filter if and only if it is present in ALL of the categories identified by category_ids
.
Being new to Rails and ActiveRecord, I'm a bit lost. Here is the method returning relevant filters :
# Database select for "relevant" filters based on the `category_ids`
#
# If `category_ids` is present, returns only filter that belong to
# one of the given categories. Otherwise returns all filters.
#
def select_relevant_filters(category_ids)
relevant_filters =
if category_ids.present?
@current_community
.custom_fields
.joins(:category_custom_fields)
.where("category_custom_fields.category_id": category_ids, search_filter: true)
.distinct
else
@current_community
.custom_fields.where(search_filter: true)
end
relevant_filters.sort
end
Is there a way to change the SQL request, or should I retrieve all the fields as it is doing right now and then delete the ones I am not interested in ?
So I solved my problem by selecting filters that are pesent in all of the subcategories of the selected category. For that I select all filters of all subcategory, and only keep the ones that are returned a number of times exactly equal to the number of subcategory.
all_relevant_filters = select_relevant_filters(m_selected_category.own_and_subcategory_ids.or_nil)
nb_sub_category = m_selected_category.subcategory_ids.size
if nb_sub_category.none?
relevant_filters = all_relevant_filters
else
relevant_filters = all_relevant_filters.select{ |e| all_relevant_filters.count(e) == nb_sub_category.get }.uniq
end
