Advanced friendship model and queries in Rails 3 -


i have friendship model, , every new friendship, create 2 new records:

  • user1 , friend1
  • friend1 , user1

i can retrieve standard staffs like: friends, friendships, pending_friends... situation becomes complicated when try common friends, friends of friends...

for common friendships, use like:

has_many :common_friendships, :class_name => 'friendship', :conditions=>'friendships.user_id = #{self.id}'   def common_with(friend)     joins("inner join friendships fl2 on friendships.friend_id = fl2.user_id").where("fl2.friend_id = #{friend.id}")   end end  

also can use full query finder_sql like:

select distinct * friendships fl1 inner join friendships fl2 on fl1.friend_id = fl2.user_id fl1.user_id = 1  , fl2.friend_id = 2 

how can in elegant way in rails 3?
