To do this in one query you'd want to take advantage of the common double not exists SQL query, which essentially does find X for all Y.
In your instance, you might do:
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
def with_tags(tag_ids)
where("NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tags
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tagazations
WHERE tagazations.tag_id = tags.id
AND tagazations.project_id = projects.id)
AND tags.id IN (?))", tag_ids)
end
end
Alternatively, you can use count, group and having, although I suspect the first version is quicker but feel free to benchmark:
def with_tags(tag_ids)
joins(:tags).select('projects.*, count(tags.id) as tag_count')
.where(tags: { id: tag_ids }).group('projects.id')
.having('tag_count = ?', tag_ids.size)
end
