Check if Value is in Result (Rails)

I've got the following models:

models/user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :comment
  has_and_belongs_to_many :knowledgeprovider
  has_and_belongs_to_many :channel
  has_many :order_movie

models/movie.rb

class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :ratings, :dependent => :destroy
  has_many :comments, :dependent => :destroy
  belongs_to :channel
  belongs_to :order_movies

models/order_movies.rb

class OrderMovie < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :movie
end

Now I want to check if a user has ordered a movie. What is the esiest way to find out if that is true? Is there a way to return true or false without using a if statement?

Tanks at all

I believe if you can do a has_many through: association with user and movie you can check the number of movies that belong to a user(the user has ordered), or the number of users belong to a movie(users have rented that movie)

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :order_movies
  has_many :movies, through: :order_movies
end

models/movie.rb

class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :order_movies
  has_many :user, through: :order_movies
end

models/order_movies.rb

class OrderMovie < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :movie
end

So now if you do

user = User.find(<some_id>)
user.movies #will give you all the movies belonging to that user, (the user has rented)

movie = Movie.find(<some_id>)
movie.users #will give you all the users who have rented this particular movie.

Update

You can do that by checking the OrderMovie model.

if OrderMovie.where(user_id: xx, movie_id: yy).present?
  #user has rented the particular movie
else
  #user has not rented, as we didn't find a record
end

specific_user = User.find(user_id)
specific_movie = Movie.find(movie_id)
specific_user == specific_movie.user # return true if user rented that movie.
