问题
I am n00b as rails is concerned. I am trying yo create a single multimodel form in my first rails3 project. Details are given below:
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
# attr_accessible :title, :body
has_many :item_reviews, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :item_reviews
end
and
class ItemReview < ActiveRecord::Base
# attr_accessible :title, :body
belongs_to :item
end
So as clear, an item can have multiple reviews but when I am creating an item, I want at least 1 review for it. So I want to get item and first review in single form while item creation.
I am using following view:
<%provide(:title,'Create')%>
<h1> Add an Item review</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="span6 offset3">
<%= form_for (@item) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<% f.fields_for :item_reviews, @item.item_reviews do |ff| %>
<%= ff.label :shop_address %>
<%= ff.text_field :shop_address %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit "Submit", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<% f.fields_for :item_reviews, @item.item_reviews do |ff| %>
will not work because there is not item_review associated with @item
currently (@item = Item.new
) Until I save @item, I can't create new item_review. What should I do in that case.
I know one possibility is model independent form but can't I use something above to make life easy.
PS: I am using bootstrap, just in case if that helps.
回答1:
There is some way to achieve an instance with item reviews. The key is to create an instance with some of nested instances without actual saving
@item = Item.new
@item.item_reviews.build
and then in your form
form_for @item do |f|
...
f.fields_for :item_reviews do |ff|
with this code an instance of review is present and you can render form
