Hi,
This is about this book :
http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_rr/index.html
The recipe #32 is about creating a role based authentification.
In the book, we use 3 tables:
“user” wich has and belongs to many “role” wich has and belongs to many
“right”:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :roles
end
class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
has_and_belongs_to_many :rights
end
class Right < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :roles
end
But I think it is better to set something like that:
class Right < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :roles
has_many :users, :through => :roles
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :roles
has_many :right, :through => :roles
end
class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :group
belongs_to :user
end
Do you think it is better ?
IMHA It looks more " Rails 1.2"
