Question

I’m trying to fetch some posts from users that isn’t blocking “me”. Se models below:

User
  id
  username
  ....

Post
  id
  user_id
  content
  ...

Blockings
  blocker_id
  blocked_id

I need to fetch posts from all users that isn’t blocking me.

I fetch all posts with:

@posts Post.all

But how do I joins this together.

Pseudo

SELECT * FROM posts WHERE "posts.user_id isn't blocking me"

I have a helper called current_user that returns the current logged in user “me”.

Answer 1

A way to do it with SQL would be:

select *
  from post
  where user_id not in 
    (select blocker_id 
    from blockings
    where blocked_id = 1);

Just replace the numerical id with the variable.
