[FIXED] How do I customize the name of an indirect has_many association in Rails?

Issue

In Rails, we have the has_many feature:

class Product < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :product_sales
  has_many :states, through: :product_sales
end

Is there any way I can give a custom name to one of these has_manys?

For example: instead of accessing states from Product by using @product.states, I would like to access it using @product.states_where_it_is_sold.

Solution

Yes, there is a way. Do:

class Product < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :product_sales
  has_many :states_where_sold, through: :product_sales, source: :state
end
