+ # === Removing hidden model id's
+ #
+ # The form_for method automatically includes the model id as a hidden field in the form.
+ # This is used to maintain the correlation between the form data and it's associated model.
+ # Some ORM systems do not use id's on nested models so in this case you want to be able
+ # to disable the hidden id.
+ #
+ # In the following example the Post model has many Comments stored within it in a NoSQL database,
+ # thus there is no primary key for comments.
+ #
+ # Example:
+ #
+ # <%= form(@post) do |f| %>
+ # <% f.fields_for(:comments, :include_id => false) do |cf| %>
+ # ...
+ # <% end %>
+ # <% end %>
+ #
# === Customized form builders
#
# You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass
