How to add `:include` to default_scope?

Question

Searching the \'net, I found that I should use :include, but that does not seem to change the SQL query that is generated:

def Post #model
  default         


        

Answer 1

What if you do

default_scope { includes(:author).order('created_at ASC') }

This is the way that it’s documented in the Rails API for default_scope & scope, rather than the hash parameter method you're using.
