Setting up the database, I am just curious if I did it correctly, as it looks a bit off. There are people, who have a user account, and a role (teacher or student). they are participants in a class (where a class has many students and teachers; a student has many classes; a teacher has many classes). I think my class_instruction model is off in the DB, but please tell me if it will work, or if there is a better way (like maybe with a has_many_through table of participants)
schema.rb:
ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20130524160107) do
create_table "class_instructions", :force => true do |t|
t.string "name"
t.datetime "time"
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
t.integer "person_id"
end
add_index "class_instructions", ["person_id"], :name => "index_class_instructions_on_person_id"
create_table "people", :force => true do |t|
t.string "firstName"
t.string "lastName"
t.integer "user_id"
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
end
add_index "people", ["user_id"], :name => "index_people_on_user_id"
create_table "roles", :force => true do |t|
t.string "name"
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
end
create_table "user_roles", :force => true do |t|
t.integer "user_id"
t.integer "role_id"
t.datetime "created_at", :null => false
t.datetime "updated_at", :null => false
end
add_index "user_roles", ["role_id"], :name => "index_user_roles_on_role_id"
add_index "user_roles", ["user_id"], :name => "index_user_roles_on_user_id"
create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
t.string "email", :default => "", :null => false
t.string "encrypted_password", :default => "", :null => false
t.string "reset_password_token"
t.datetime "reset_password_sent_at"
t.datetime "remember_created_at"
t.integer "sign_in_count", :default => 0
t.datetime "current_sign_in_at"
t.datetime "last_sign_in_at"
t.string "current_sign_in_ip"
t.string "last_sign_in_ip"
end
add_index "users", ["email"], :name => "index_users_on_email", :unique => true
add_index "users", ["reset_password_token"], :name => "index_users_on_reset_password_token", :unique => true
end
My concern is that the person_id is part of the class. Is this correct?
ClassInsturction.rb :
class ClassInstruction < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :people
has_many :cassignments
has_many :assignments, :through => :cassignments
def className
self.name
end
def classAssignments
return self.cassignments
end
end
