Rails: active record saving time:type with unwanted format
ruby-on-rails,ruby,activerecord,time
Date formats are only valid within your application, not within the database - they are only responsible for the way time objects are displayed to your users and will not affect the way data is stored. Unfortunately, there is no such a concept like time only in the database (at...

You can just remove the foreign key option. class TaskVolunteer < ActiveRecord::Base # task_id, volunteer_id, selected (boolean) belongs_to :task belongs_to...
Trouble in RSpec test - saving parent record twice

Store accessor for nested JSON
ruby-on-rails,json,activerecord,jsonb
You're right, unfortunately store_accessor does not allow you to access nested keys. The reason is that store_accessor is basically just a shortcut which defines getter and setter methods: # here is a part of store_accessor method code, you can take a look at # full implementation at # http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Store/ClassMethods/store_accessor _store_accessors_module.module_eval...
