Question

I have a simple database that has the following relation

Each Question has one Questiontype (3 different typs , such as Questiontype1 , Questiontype2 , Questiontype3 )

in Questiontype has question_id

• Question.rb (Model)

class Question < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :questiontype1
belongs_to :questiontype2
belongs_to :questiontype3
end

• Questiontype1.rb (Model)

class Questiontype1 < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :questions ,
:foreign_key => “question_id” end

• show.json.rabl (I used Rabl)

object @question attributes :id child :questiontype1 =>
:questiontype1 do attributes :id end

However, when I get child from Questiontype1 , result is null

Can I solve this problem?

Sorry for my English , Thank you.

Answer 1

The type of a question is an attribute of the question, not the other way around. So the Question should has_one :questiontype and the Questiontype should belongs_to :question.
