I feel like the title could be more specific but I'm having a hard time understanding the issue, and I'm unsure of what the problem is so I apologize.
I have Users, created with devise, users can make events, and the events have many users associated with them as attendees.
My user model:
class User < ApplicationRecord
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable, :trackable and :omniauthable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :validatable
has_many :created_events, foreign_key: :owner_id, class_name: "Events"
has_many :attendees, through: :attendees
end
My event model
class Event < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :owner, class_name: 'User'
has_many :attendees, through: :attendees
end
My attendee model, to join the two
class Attendee < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :attendee, class_name: "User"
belongs_to :attended_event, class_name: "Event"
end
I get the "uninitialized constant User::Events" error when trying to use something like this, going to /users/[:id], in my users_controller file:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@created_events = @user.created_events.all
end
end
or when doing a new > create action in the events_controller file:
def new
@event = Event.new
end
def create
@event = current_user.created_events.build(event_params)
respond_to do |format|
if @event.save
format.html { redirect_to @event, notice: 'Event was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @event }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: @event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
It worked fine until I added the join model, and now I'm getting the error:
uninitialized constant User::Events
Thanks in advance. I'm having a really hard time with this.
Simple typo:
has_many :created_events, foreign_key: :owner_id, class_name: "Events"
should be class_name: 'Event'
