trying to share a model in my app - ruby-on-rails-4

Question

I am creating a website using a rails and I would like to share the model. I followed The tutorial for creating an article. In the ArticlesController is index, show, new, edit, create, update and destroy. I figured I would use this as the data entry part of my app. Then I was going to create a PageController that has home, news, videos, music and events. Here is my set up:
here is my Article model
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_attached_file :image, styles: { large:"700x700>", medium:"300x300>", thumb:"150x150#"}
validates_attachment_content_type :image, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/
validates :title, presence: true,
length: { minimum: 5 }
belongs_to :page
end
here is my page model
class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :article
end
here is my page controller
class PageController < ApplicationController
def home
#page = Page.includes(:articles)
end
def news
end
def videos
end
def music
end
def events
end
end
here is my home view
<h1>Page#home</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/page/home.html.erb</p>
<%= #page.articles.each do |article| %>
<%= article.title %>
<%= article.content %>
<%= article.image %>
<% end %>
here is the error I get
undefined method `articles' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation []>
not clear onwhats going on. Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

From the limited information you posted, I am assuming the best thing for you to do is create an association. Pages should has_many articles and articles should belong_to a page. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html
After that is setup, your controller can be set up as follows:
#page = Page.includes(:articles)
This will load your pages and its related articles in a single SQL query, then you can call
#page.articles.each |article|
puts article.title
puts article.content
puts article.image
end
You can now access all the information and use it as you please.
