Class Method Details

.join_association(table, association, join_type = Arel::Nodes::InnerJoin, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

activerecord uses JoinDependency to automagically generate inner join statements for any type of association (belongs_to, has_many, and has_and_belongs_to_many). For example, for HABTM associations, two join statements are required. This method encapsulates that functionality and yields an intermediate object for chaining. It also allows you to use an outer join instead of the default inner via the join_type arg.
