[Idea] Classify mails on basis other than users
NipunBinjola opened this issue · comments
You have created a polymorphic association of user
, to track email for any model . However what if i need to store context of the mail also, alongwith the user and identify what mails belong to what scenarios.
Lets say i have two different models, User
and Model1
, having objects user
and m1
.
Now i need all messages for object m1
using m1.messages
, but those entries should also be having user_id
, so that i can also fetch user.messages
.
Tracking user is a fundamental requirement, how should we classify mails based on other models, while keeping reference to user_id
and user_type
?
Thought : How about one more polymorphic association - context
.
track context: m1
will save context_id
as m1.id
and context_type
as Model1
.
Currently added polymorphic reference using migration, and added has_many
reference to my Model1
file,
class AddContextToAhoyMessages < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
def change
add_reference :ahoy_messages, :context, polymorphic: true
end
end
still i need to use track extra:
which required saving context_id
and context_type
individually, and mail_object.context
does not completes the association.
Hope this makes some sense, would be glad to get more insights on this
