Rails includes with conditions

Question

Is is possible in Rails > 3.2 to add conditions to the join statement generated by the includes method?

Let\'s say I have two models, Person and Note. E

Answer 1

One way is to write the LEFT JOIN clause yourself by using joins:

Person.joins('LEFT JOIN "notes" ON "notes"."person_id" = "people.id" AND "notes"."important" IS "t"')

Not pretty, though.
