Nested forms and automatic creation of parent, children
- by Karen
Guys,
I was wondering if it was possible to create new parent, children in a has many relationship, using rails nested forms.
Rails documentation clearly says that this works in a one to one relationship. Not sure if its the same in has many relationship.
For example:
If
params = {
:employee => {
:name => "Tester",
:account_attributes => {:login => 'tester'}
}
}
works as one to one relationship. So Employee.new(params) works fine. New employee, account are created.
Supposing I had
params = {
:employee => {
:name => "Tester",
:account_attributes => {
"0" => {:login => 'tester'},
"1" => {:login => 'tester2'}
}
}
}
Employee.new(params) doesnt work. It fails on child validations saying parent cant be blank.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Karen
