Rails 4，has_many 通过关联——查找关联对象

Question

我想知道为什么 Item.where(category: x) 不适合我。我希望此语句返回归类为 x 类的所有项目。请看下面我的联想：

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :categorizations
    has_many :items, :through => :categorizations
end

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :categorizations
    has_many :categories, :through => :categorizations
end

class Categorization < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :item
    belongs_to :category
end

Category.find(1).items 返回该类别的所有项目。请看下面的 byebug 控制台输出，它进一步证明了我的观点。似乎生成的 SQl 正在查找 Item 表中的类别列——这当然不存在。有什么想法吗？

    1: class ItemsController < ApplicationController
    2:   # Returns full list of items
    3:   def index
    4:     @items = Item.all
    5:      byebug
=>  6:   end
    7: 

(byebug) Item.where(category: 1)
  Item Load (0.6ms)  SELECT "items".* FROM "items" WHERE "items"."category" = 1
#<Item::ActiveRecord_Relation:0x007fb5d1a37f08>
(byebug) Category.find(1).items
  Category Load (0.7ms)  SELECT  "categories".* FROM "categories" WHERE "categories"."id" = $1 LIMIT 1  [["id", 1]]
  Item Load (1.7ms)  SELECT "items".* FROM "items" INNER JOIN "categorizations" ON "items"."id" = "categorizations"."item_id" WHERE "categorizations"."category_id" = $1  [["category_id", 1]]

Answer 1

我认为使用has_many through 获取关联对象的方法是：

Item.joins(:categories).where(categories: {id: 1})

我还没有找到更好的方法。
