Show children of a parent class Rails 4.0

Question

I have a model for School and Student. Their relationship is School has_many Students. I am trying to render a view where if I am on the School index page and I click "Show", it will open up a new page and display a list of students that belong to that school. Ex:

School
- Student1
- Student2
- Student3

Answer 1

You can do as following:

# students controller
def index
  @students = Student.scoped
  @students = @students.where(school_id: params[:school_id]) if params[:school_id].present?
end

# view of the schools index
- @schools.each do |school|
  = link_to "students of the school #{school.id}", students_path(school_id: school.id)

Don't hesitate to ask for explanations if you don't fully understand ;)
