A slightly frustrating issue with Geocoder.
I have two models:
User => has_many :records
Record => belongs_to :user
I'm trying to write the logic for a search function that will return all the record instances that are geographically close to the current_user. This is along with other query params.
I understand that I can use User.near to get nearby users, but I can't find a straightforward way to extract the records that belong to those users and just return those.
Ideally, I'd like something along the lines of:
records = Record.where(User.near(user, 5))
However, I know that this won't work.
Any suggestions would be most welcome! Thanks
You could try geocoder's nearbys method to get all User in 5 miles range, then get all records, something like:
records = current_user.nearbys(5).collect(&:record)
