    <p>I'm doing a simple exercise with two models. Sport and Teams, defined as </p> <pre> rails g scaffold sport name:integer rails g scaffold team name:integer fans:integer sport:references </pre> <p>(Note: The reason I'm using scaffold is rapidly prototyping so I can learn/experiment with the parts I'm not familiar with yet)</p> <p>Problem is that my "sport" (i.e. the foreign key reference) is showing like the following <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RUhML.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>So it's got that weird <code>#&lt;blahl blah&gt;</code> notation to it...</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for(@team) do |f| %&gt; &lt;% if @team.errors.any? %&gt; &lt;div id="error_explanation"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;%= pluralize(@team.errors.count, "error") %&gt; prohibited this team from being saved:&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;% @team.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;%= msg %&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :name %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :name %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :fans %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.number_field :fans %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= f.label :sport %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :sport %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="actions"&gt; &lt;%= f.submit %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried changing the one line to <code>@team.sport.name</code> but it results in an error <code>undefined method 'Ice Hockey' for #&lt;Team:0x3e7e040&gt;</code>... Any ideas how to properly display name from here??</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
