Currently, an Item belongs_to a Company and has_many ItemVariants.
I'm trying to use nested fields_for to add ItemVariant fields through the Item form, however using :item_variants does not display the form. It is only displayed when I use the singular.
I have check my associations and they seem to be correct, could it possibly have something to do with item being nested under Company, or am I missing something else?
Thanks in advance.
Note: Irrelevant code has been omitted from the snippets below.
EDIT: Don't know if this is relevant, but I'm using CanCan for Authentication.
routes.rb
resources :companies do
resources :items
end
item.rb
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :sku, :item_type, :comments, :item_variants_attributes
# Associations
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
belongs_to :company
belongs_to :item_type
has_many :item_variants
accepts_nested_attributes_for :item_variants, allow_destroy: true
end
item_variant.rb
class ItemVariant < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :item_id, :location_id
# Associations
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
belongs_to :item
end
item/new.html.erb
<%= form_for [@company, @item] do |f| %>
...
...
<%= f.fields_for :item_variants do |builder| %>
<fieldset>
<%= builder.label :location_id %>
<%= builder.collection_select :location_id, @company.locations.order(:name), :id, :name, :include_blank => true %>
</fieldset>
<% end %>
...
...
<% end %>
You should prepopulate @item.item_variants
with some data:
def new # in the ItemController
...
@item = Item.new
3.times { @item.item_variants.build }
...
end
Source: http://rubysource.com/complex-rails-forms-with-nested-attributes/
try this way
in your item controller
new action
write
def new
...
@item = # define item here
@item.item_variants.build if @item.item_variants.nil?
...
end
and in item/new.html.erb
<%= form_for @item do |f| %>
...
...
<%= f.fields_for :item_variants do |builder| %>
...
<% end %>
...
...
<% end %>
