I am trying to create a model with some arrays inside it. After creating the migration file by this command:
rails g model post poster_first_name:string poster_first_name:string email:string poster_id:integer poster_profile_pic:string message:string post_type:string comments:text
The migration file is created and I modify the migration file to look like this (trying to make the post_type and comments arrays):
class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :posts do |t|
t.integer :poster_id, null: false, default: 0
t.string :poster_first_name, default: ""
t.string :poster_last_name, default: ""
t.string :poster_profile_pic, default: ""
t.string :message, null: false, default: ""
t.string :post_type, array: true, default: []
t.text :comments, array: true, default: []
t.timestamps null: false
end
end
end
This migration file looks correct. After I run rake db:migrate
This is how my schema looks:
create_table "posts", force: :cascade do |t|
t.integer "poster_id", default: 0, null: false
t.string "poster_first_name", default: ""
t.string "poster_last_name", default: ""
t.string "poster_profile_pic", default: ""
t.string "message", default: "", null: false
t.string "post_type", default: "--- []\n"
t.text "comments", default: "--- []\n"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
end
So basically rails doesn't understand that the fields are arrays. I have tried a lot of different stuff. But no luck. I would appreciate any help. (This might be a noob question)
