Adding users to groups

[zaheenzkhan]

@dwbutler I am a newbie on rails 5 and cannot seem to add users to my groups. my group_membership table is empty.
Can someone help me with an example? even the syntax would help.

The readme has plenty of examples. If you can post a code sample I can probably tell you what's wrong with it.

class User < ApplicationRecord

     devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
     :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable


    groupify :group_member
    groupify :named_group_member

    validates :email, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true
    has_many :members
    has_many :groups, through: :member
end

class Group < ApplicationRecord
    groupify :group, members: [:users, :assignments], default_members: :users

    has_many :members
    has_many :groups, through: :member
end

class Member < ApplicationRecord
    belongs_to :group
    belongs_to :user
end

class Membership < ApplicationRecord
    groupify :group_membership
end

These are all the models i have created. I can create new users and groups but i cant add users to groups, neither through groupify or the has_many & through association (you can see i tried both). Also i cannot populate the member or the Membership(groupify) tables. need help

What are the commands that i should be using?

If you're defining your own associations that override groupify's, that could be problematic.

Some basic troubleshooting steps:

• Have you run the migrations? rake db:migrate
• Does your rails log (in logs/development.log) have any error messages?
• What code are you actually running to try to add users to groups?
