By default nested attribute updating is turned off # and 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 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. # # Also note that the model will not be destroyed unless you also specify # its id in the updated hash. # # === 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 the associated posts through # an attribute hash for a member: include the key +:posts_attributes+ # with an array of hashes of post attributes as a value. # # 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(attributes) # attributes['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' # # However, the above applies if the parent model is being updated as well. # For example, If you wanted to create a +member+ named _joe_ and wanted to # update the +posts+ at the same time, that would give an # ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound error. # # 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 # # Nested attributes for an associated collection can also be passed in # the form of a hash of hashes instead of an array of hashes: # # Member.create(name: 'joe', # posts_attributes: { first: { title: 'Foo' }, # second: { title: 'Bar' } }) # # has the same effect as # # Member.create(name: 'joe', # posts_attributes: [ { title: 'Foo' }, # { title: 'Bar' } ]) # # The keys of the hash which is the value for +:posts_attributes+ are # ignored in this case. # However, it is not allowed to use +'id'+ or +:id+ for one of # such keys, otherwise the hash will be wrapped in an array and # interpreted as an attribute hash for a single post. # # Passing attributes for an associated collection in the form of a hash # of hashes can be used with hashes generated from HTTP/HTML parameters, # where there may be no natural way to submit an array of hashes. # # === 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 parent's save method. See ActiveRecord::AutosaveAssociation. # # === Validating the presence of a parent model # # If you want to validate that a child record is associated with a parent # record, you can use the +validates_presence_of+ method and the +:inverse_of+ # key as this example illustrates: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_many :posts, inverse_of: :member # accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts # end # # class Post < ActiveRecord::Base # belongs_to :member, inverse_of: :posts # validates_presence_of :member # end # # Note that if you do not specify the +:inverse_of+ option, then # Active Record will try to automatically guess the inverse association # based on heuristics. # # For one-to-one nested associations, if you build the new (in-memory) # child object yourself before assignment, then this module will not # overwrite it, e.g.: # # class Member < ActiveRecord::Base # has_one :avatar # accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar # # def avatar # super || build_avatar(width: 200) # end # end # # member = Member.new # member.avatar_attributes = {icon: 'sad'} # member.avatar.width # => 200 module ClassMethods REJECT_ALL_BLANK_PROC = proc { |attributes| attributes.all? { |key, value| key == '_destroy' || value.blank? } } # Defines an attributes writer for the specified association(s). # # Supported options: # [:allow_destroy] # If true, destroys any members from the attributes hash with a # _destroy key and a value that evaluates to +true+ # (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'). 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 excluding # any value for +_destroy+. # [:limit] # Allows you to specify the maximum number of associated records that # can be processed with the nested attributes. Limit also can be specified # as a Proc or a Symbol pointing to a method that should return a number. # If the size of the nested attributes array exceeds the specified limit, # NestedAttributes::TooManyRecords exception is raised. If omitted, any # number of associations can be processed. # Note that the +:limit+ option is only applicable to one-to-many # associations. # [:update_only] # For a one-to-one association, this option allows you to specify how # nested attributes are going to be used when an associated record already # exists. In general, an existing record may either be updated with the # new set of attribute values or be replaced by a wholly new record # containing those values. By default the +:update_only+ option is +false+ # and the nested attributes are used to update the existing record only # if they include the record's :id value. Otherwise a new # record will be instantiated and used to replace the existing one. # However if the +:update_only+ option is +true+, the nested attributes # are used to update the record's attributes always, regardless of # whether the :id is present. The option is ignored for collection # associations. # # Examples: # # creates avatar_attributes= # accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, reject_if: proc { |attributes| attributes['name'].blank? } # # creates avatar_attributes= # accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, reject_if: :all_blank # # creates avatar_attributes= and posts_attributes= # accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, :posts, allow_destroy: true def accepts_nested_attributes_for(*attr_names) options = { :allow_destroy => false, :update_only => false } options.update(attr_names.extract_options!) options.assert_valid_keys(:allow_destroy, :reject_if, :limit, :update_only) options[:reject_if] = REJECT_ALL_BLANK_PROC if options[:reject_if] == :all_blank attr_names.each do |association_name| if reflection = _reflect_on_association(association_name) reflection.autosave = true define_autosave_validation_callbacks(reflection) nested_attributes_options = self.nested_attributes_options.dup nested_attributes_options[association_name.to_sym] = options self.nested_attributes_options = nested_attributes_options type = (reflection.collection? ? :collection : :one_to_one) generate_association_writer(association_name, type) else raise ArgumentError, "No association found for name `#{association_name}'.
