Hello everyone,
I just read the entire Associations page on the RoR Guide, and I'm wanting to see if I can run it by the pros to make sure I have it down right for my particular project. As a first test project I'm doing a simple Issue Tracker.
The tracker has the following models:
Projects Tickets Milestones Components Types Severities
Each Project will have many Tickets Each Ticket will have one of the following, Milestone, Component, Type, Severity
From reading the RoR Association Guide I have guessed that this is the best method using Milestone as the example:
Project: has_many: tickets, has_many: milestones, :through => tickets Ticket: belongs_to: project, belongs_to: milestone Milestone: has_many: tickets, has_many: projects, :through => tickets
Would this be the correct associations for have a Project will have multiple tickets, and each ticket will have exactly one milestone reference?
The thing that has me confused is that each project can have multiple milestone, ie: Milestone 1, Milestone 2, etc...but these milestones will be related to the Project, so in the actual table there may be 5 instances of Milestone 1 but with a different project id.
I'm so lost, lol.
