Accessing a has_one associations' attributes

Question

I\'m still quite new to Rails so hopefully this isn\'t a silly question.

I have two models: User and Chore. User has_one chore, and Chore belongs to User

<         


        

Answer 1

Here's another option that uses Rails' Delegate module:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :chore
  delegate :name, to: :chore, prefix: true, allow_nil: true
end

This will allow you to call <%= user.chore_name %>, which will pass the name call onto chore, returning nil if there is none.
