In Rails, how can a record belong_to a single user, but also have multiple "secondary" users?
- by Kuro
In my app, I have a User model and a Project model. A user has_many assignments and each project belongs_to a user. But along with each project having an owner, the user who created it, I would like the owner be able to share it with others (so that the project gets shown on the other users' account along with their own). I imagine having to use has_many :through, and setting up a projects_users table with a user_id and a project_id. And I guess this would be the end result?
Project.first.user
# The creator of the project
=> #<User id: 1, name: 'andrew', etc...>
Project.first.users
# The users that the creator chose to share it with
=> [#<User id: 2 ...>, #<User id: 3 ...>]
How would I go about doing this? Thanks!
