I need to get a subset of an objects collection. Sort of like named_scope but for a specific model instance. Foo has_many :bar Bar has_many :buzz I want all of the bars for a specific foo but I only want to consider bars without buzz. The best I can come up with is using a "select" foo.bars.select { |bar| bar.buzzs.empty? } Is there a better way to do this?
