Make ActiveRecord do conditions on your associations

Overview

The ActiveRecord Where AssocTest gem is a powerful tool for developers utilizing Rails, enabling them to create conditions based on record associations effortlessly. It's designed to make querying clearer, more efficient, and easily reusable, especially for crafting scopes. By leveraging SQL's EXISTS operator, this gem simplifies complex queries, allowing developers to avoid common pitfalls associated with alternative methods.

Incorporating the gem into your Rails application means you can write conditions without getting bogged down in intricate joins. Whether your project is equipped with Ruby versions from 2.1 to 3.4 and Rails from 4.1 to 8.1, this gem is well-equipped for performance and compatibility across major databases like SQLite3, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
