ruby on rails - Join the associated object into the belongs_to object -

i have event model has many dateentry because event can have multiple datetimes.

i have view see events date entries specific day. i've made class method in models/event.rb:

def self.by_date(date)   includes(:date_entries)   .where(date_entries: { begins_at: date.beginning_of_day..date.end_of_day }) end 

and works fine.

now on view loop on events grabbed query:

@events.each |event|   # whatever 

i looking way use date selected dateentry in loop. think have use activerecords joins method, have tried in many ways , when not getting error output still same.

for clarifying, want in loop event.selected_date_entry_by_the_by_date_method.begins_at or that.

first, in example date events same. set @date in controller , use in views.

second, seems should doing things other way around. instead of finding events should finding dateentries , iterating on those.
