How to create a scope for records with highest value in associated table column












0















I have four related models:



class Quest < ApplicationRecord
has_many :steps, -> { order(step_number: :asc) }
def last_step_number
steps.maximum(:step_number)
end
end

class Step < ApplicationRecord
validates :step_number, presence: true
belongs_to :quest
end

class Teamquest < ApplicationRecord
validates :last_step_completed, presence: true
belongs_to :quest

def is_all_steps_completed
last_step_completed == quest.last_step_number
end
end


I would like to add a scope to Teamquest that returns all records where Teamquest model method is_all_steps_completed == true

          This will work, a join with a select which returns only the row with the maximum step:



          Teamquest.joins("
          INNER JOIN (
          SELECT quest_id, MAX(step_number) AS max_step
          FROM steps
          GROUP BY quest_id) max_steps
          ON max_steps.quest_id = teamquests.quest_id"
          ).where("last_step_completed = max_steps.max_step")


          I would really consider denormalizing your database and storing steps_count in quests table to make everything easier.

          • This solved my problem perfectly. I attempted to create a scope on the Step model like this: scope :last_steps, -> { select('quest_id, MAX(step_number) AS max_step').group(:quest_id) } but I can't use it due to a postgres error PG::GroupingError: ERROR: column "steps.id" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function

          • How are you trying to use it? Using only the scope, as in Step.last_steps should work.

          • I was trying to use Step.last_steps.count and Step.last_steps.first -- neither of which worked. I have since discovered that I can use Step.last_steps.each do ... which meets my needs perfectly. Thanks!
