has_many :through with a foreign key?

Question

I\'ve read multiple questions about this, but have yet to find an answer that works for my situation.

I have 3 models: Apps, AppsGenres and

Answer 1

UPDATED Try this:

class App < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :apps_genres, :foreign_key => :application_id
  has_many :genres, :through => :apps_genres
end

class AppsGenre < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :genre, :foreign_key => :genre_id, :primary_key => :genre_id
  belongs_to :app, :foreign_key => :application_id, :primary_key => :application_id
end

class Genre < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :apps_genres, :foreign_key => :genre_id
  has_many :apps, :through => :apps_genres
end

With query:

App.find(1).genres

It generates:

SELECT `genres`.* FROM `genres` INNER JOIN `apps_genres` ON `genres`.`genre_id` = `apps_genres`.`genre_id` WHERE `apps_genres`.`application_id` = 1

And query:

Genre.find(1).apps

generates:

SELECT `apps`.* FROM `apps` INNER JOIN `apps_genres` ON `apps`.`application_id` = `apps_genres`.`application_id` WHERE `apps_genres`.`genre_id` = 1
