How to fetch single column for children? Question

+0
−0

How to get specific children's column? For questions, I can use @post.last_edited_at or, something just like this. But, I was thinking to fetch a single column for all child.

<% post.children.last_edited_at do |last_edited| %>
  <span>last_edited</span>
<% end %>

But, this isn't correct way to fetch single column for all child. I can fetch child's all column but, not a single one. I was thinking to put those strings inside an array. But, there's no possible way to put those value in array either. If I split using " than, what if user is using quotation mark in body.

<% children.each do |answer| %>

I can fetch all columns above way but....

I am working on post.rb models.

If I understand you correctly, you want to get the last_edited_at column for every child post, i.e. a list of last edit dates?

For this you should use

post.children.map(&:last_edited_at)

which is a shorthand for

post.children.map { |c| c.last_edited_at }

which iterates over the list of children and maps each to its last_edited_at timestamp.
