Rails include only selected columns from relation

Question

I will try to explain:

I have a table \'Product\' and a table \'Store\'. I\'m trying to get just the store name to show at the page, but ActiveRecord is returning me all

Answer 1

Just tried something similar to this on my project. This should work:

@products = Product.
  .order(id: :desc)
  .joins(:store)
  .select("products.id, products.store_id, stores.name")
  .limit(1)

Using joins as opposed to includes will make rails perform only one query, because joins doesn't eager-load the association.
