Question

Is it possible to call the include? function on a whole table, like this?

<% @user.games.each do |g|
   @@latestround = g.rounds.order('created_at DESC').first
%>
    <% if @@latestround.submittedpictures.isFinalPicture.include?(true) %>
        <p>FinalPicture has been played!</p>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

The problem i’m getting is that It only works when I put a block on submittedpictures and then loop through each record of this table. However I want to look through the whole table in one go and see if the column ‘isFinalPicture’ includes a value with ‘false’.

Any ideas?

The following snippet works but its not the way i want it (I would get more lines if the round happens to have more ‘true’ FinalPictures)

<% @@latestround.submittedpictures.each do |s| %>
    <% if s.isFinalPicture == true %>
         <p>Final Picture has been played!</p>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

Answer 1

You could make a scope for it like

class SubmitedPricture << ActiveRecord::Base

  scope :final_pictures, where('isFinalPricture = ?', true)
end

then you could see if there is any with only one query

latestround.submittedpictures.final_pictures.any?

Also you should follow the conventions of Rails in naming your Models and everything else. Like submittedpictures should be submitted_pictures
