Ruby version: 2.7.1
-
Rails version: 7.0.0

git clone https://github.com/sampatbadhe/multi-db-app.git
- cd to the
passwordless-authentication-api
application directory
cd multi-db-app
- Run
bundle
command to install all gems
bundle install
-
Configure your
database.yml
file. -
Run
bundle exec rails db:create
-
Run
bundle exec rails db:migrate
-
Run
bundle exec rails db:seed
. The sample data would be then loaded into application database. -
Run the rails console using
bundle exec rails console
orbundle exec rails c
-
Run following operations and observe the queries.
-
Without
disable_joins
optionWe would have to add custom methods, as has_many :through/has_one :through associations won't work across databases.
# Set the user > user = User.find_by(email: '[email protected]') # Fetch the messages of all the events of a user > user.event_messages # Fetch the latest message on the latest event of a user > user.latest_event_message
-
With
disable_joins
option# Set the user > user = User.find_by(email: '[email protected]') # We can use `has_many :through` association to fetch the messages of all the events of a user > user.messages # We can use `has_one :through` association to fetch the latest message on the latest event of a user > user.latest_message
