Rails: includes with polymorphic association

Question

I read this interesting article about Using Polymorphism to Make a Better Activity Feed in Rails.

We end up with something like

class Activity < A         


        

Answer 1

After I read Eager-loading Polymorphic Relationships in Rails article I ended up with the following solution:

class ActivitiesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    activities = current_user.activities.page(:page)

    @activities = Activities::PreloadForIndex.new(activities).run
  end
end

class Activities::PreloadForIndex
  def initialize(activities)
    @activities = activities
  end

  def run
    preload_for event(activities), subject: :guests
    preload_for image(activities), subject: :tags
    activities
  end

  private

  def preload_for(activities, associations)
    ActiveRecord::Associations::Preloader.new.preload(activities, associations)
  end

  def event(activities)
    activities.select &:event?
  end

  def image(activities)
    activities.select &:image?
  end
end
