By default nested attribute updating is turned off, # you can enable it using the accepts_nested_attributes_for class method. # When you enable nested attributes an attribute writer is defined on # the model. # # The attribute writer is named after the association, which means that # in the following example, two new methods are added to your model: # author_attributes=(attributes) and # pages_attributes=(attributes). # # class Book < ActiveRecord::Base # has_one :author # has_many :pages # # accepts_nested_attributes_for :author, :pages # end # # Note that the :autosave option is automatically enabled on every # association that accepts_nested_attributes_for is used for. # # === One-to-one # # Consider a Member model that has one Avatar: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_one :avatar # accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar # end # # Enabling nested attributes on a one-to-one association allows you to # create the member and avatar in one go: # # params = { :member => { :name => 'Jack', :avatar_attributes => { :icon => 'smiling' } } } # member = Member.create(params[:member]) # member.avatar.id # => 2 # member.avatar.icon # => 'smiling' # # It also allows you to update the avatar through the member: # # params = { :member => { :avatar_attributes => { :id => '2', :icon => 'sad' } } } # member.update_attributes params[:member] # member.avatar.icon # => 'sad' # # By default you will only be able to set and update attributes on the # associated model. If you want to destroy the associated model through the # attributes hash, you have to enable it first using the # :allow_destroy option. # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_one :avatar # accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, :allow_destroy => true # end # # Now, when you add the _destroy key to the attributes hash, with a # value that evaluates to +true+, you will destroy the associated model: # # member.avatar_attributes = { :id => '2', :_destroy => '1' } # member.avatar.marked_for_destruction? # => true # member.save # member.reload.avatar #=> nil # # Note that the model will _not_ be destroyed until the parent is saved. # # === One-to-many # # Consider a member that has a number of posts: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_many :posts # accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts # end # # You can now set or update attributes on an associated post model through # the attribute hash. # # For each hash that does _not_ have an id key a new record will # be instantiated, unless the hash also contains a _destroy key # that evaluates to +true+. # # params = { :member => { # :name => 'joe', :posts_attributes => [ # { :title => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' }, # { :title => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' }, # { :title => '', :_destroy => '1' } # this will be ignored # ] # }} # # member = Member.create(params['member']) # member.posts.length # => 2 # member.posts.first.title # => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' # member.posts.second.title # => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' # # You may also set a :reject_if proc to silently ignore any new record # hashes if they fail to pass your criteria. For example, the previous # example could be rewritten as: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_many :posts # accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes['title'].blank? } # end # # params = { :member => { # :name => 'joe', :posts_attributes => [ # { :title => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' }, # { :title => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' }, # { :title => '' } # this will be ignored because of the :reject_if proc # ] # }} # # member = Member.create(params['member']) # member.posts.length # => 2 # member.posts.first.title # => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' # member.posts.second.title # => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' # # Alternatively, :reject_if also accepts a symbol for using methods: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_many :posts # accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :reject_if => :new_record? # end # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_many :posts # accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :reject_if => :reject_posts # # def reject_posts(attributed) # attributed['title].blank? # end # end # # If the hash contains an id key that matches an already # associated record, the matching record will be modified: # # member.attributes = { # :name => 'Joe', # :posts_attributes => [ # { :id => 1, :title => '[UPDATED] An, as of yet, undisclosed awesome Ruby documentation browser!' }, # { :id => 2, :title => '[UPDATED] other post' } # ] # } # # member.posts.first.title # => '[UPDATED] An, as of yet, undisclosed awesome Ruby documentation browser!' # member.posts.second.title # => '[UPDATED] other post' # # By default the associated records are protected from being destroyed. If # you want to destroy any of the associated records through the attributes # hash, you have to enable it first using the :allow_destroy # option. This will allow you to also use the _destroy key to # destroy existing records: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_many :posts # accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :allow_destroy => true # end # # params = { :member => { # :posts_attributes => [{ :id => '2', :_destroy => '1' }] # }} # # member.attributes = params['member'] # member.posts.detect { |p| p.id == 2 }.marked_for_destruction? # => true # member.posts.length #=> 2 # member.save # member.reload.posts.length # => 1 # # === Saving # # All changes to models, including the destruction of those marked for # destruction, are saved and destroyed automatically and atomically when # the parent model is saved. This happens inside the transaction initiated # by the parents save method.

This option is off by default. # [:reject_if] # Allows you to specify a Proc or a Symbol pointing to a method # that checks whether a record should be built for a certain attribute # hash. The hash is passed to the supplied Proc or the method # and it should return either +true+ or +false+. When no :reject_if # is specified, a record will be built for all attribute hashes that # do not have a _destroy value that evaluates to true. # Passing :all_blank instead of a Proc will create a proc # that will reject a record where all the attributes are blank. # [:limit] # Allows you to specify the maximum number of the associated records that # can be processes with the nested attributes. If the size of the # nested attributes array exceeds the specified limit, NestedAttributes::TooManyRecords # exception is raised.
