# Feb 1st 2018, 11:07 neon1024 `Gamers hasMany Memberships belongsTo Clans`
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:07 neon1024 If you’re storing lots of data in the join, I’d be tempted to make a proper join table and name it something relevant
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:06 neon1024 So you can work out days in your SQL
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:06 neon1024 I’d recommend storing the `join_datetime` and `leave_datetime`
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:05 turkles there are other things in my join table which I want to track, like days in clan, which make it also fiddly to record things under an old _clan table
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:05 ooskar1233 hm, thought that self-referencing would be user hasmany users
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:05 ooskar1233 :)
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:05 neon1024 Oh, ninja edit!
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:05 neon1024 Same thing :P
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:04 ooskar1233 not that self referencing, just two associations of different type to one talbe
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:04 ooskar1233 sure, but you don't mess around bypassing association you created :slightly_smiling_face:
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:04 neon1024 Self referencing aliased tables can be a bit fiddly imho
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:04 ooskar1233 has many old_clans, belongs to clan
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:03 ooskar1233 liek
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:03 neon1024 But I think you’d have to manage a bit of that process manually
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:03 ooskar1233 or just creating two associations
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:03 neon1024 @ooskar1233 Approach would also work, by creating a row in a clan history table
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:03 neon1024 You could set the condition on the association configuration
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:02 turkles Ah indeed
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:02 neon1024 So you don’t get a list of clan members who were in the clan as well as are currently
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:02 neon1024 Do remember to filter the association on the other end as well
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:02 neon1024 ..and you’ll still be able to pull all the clans they’re “in” as “was in”
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:02 neon1024 Yep
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 turkles ok so I flag in the join table, and then I can use conditions on that flag if I only want the current
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 neon1024 @turkles Then you’ll have to use a `belongsToMany` with an `active` flag in the join table
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 ooskar1233 right, maybe you should just create other model for history?
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 turkles that ignores the history
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 neon1024 @ooskar1233 No, as then they could not join many clans
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 ooskar1233 even in English it's pretty resonable :)
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:01 ooskar1233 clan hasMany players, player belongsTo clan
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:00 neon1024 If you want to have a kind of ‘currently representing’ a certain clan, then that’s just a flag in the join table
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:00 neon1024 It’s either belongsToMany or hasOne, not both
# Feb 1st 2018, 11:00 neon1024 I don’t understand why one at a time is relevant
# Feb 1st 2018, 10:59 turkles Do I have to just name the 'current' clan association differently?
# Feb 1st 2018, 10:58 turkles How can I describe this relationship properly - A Player can join many clans, one after another, but only one at a time. I have Player belongsToMany Clans through PlayerClans. But I also have a clan_id in the player table which is the current clan.
# Feb 1st 2018, 10:40 ooskar1233 not too hard to migrate and get used to, though; I always been hacking bootstrap 3 to make the freaking flexboxes working
# Feb 1st 2018, 10:39 ooskar1233 basiaclly took flexbox on the 1st place
# Feb 1st 2018, 10:38 neon1024 Has v4 of Bootstrap changed a lot? I’ve not looked into it yet

# Feb 1st 2018, 09:58 dereuromark birdy: did you try to look into the repo and look for open PRs?
