Rails generate records for secondary model on create - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am making a sort of checklist section for my site. I have a model called commission that will contain data about a commissioning task. What I need to do is when a new commission entry is created I need to create a series of about 30 commission tasks that will link to it. A sort of checklist of predefined values for a person to go down through and check. What would be the best way to do this?
Here are my models and controller:
commission.rb
class Commission < ApplicationRecord
has_many :comtasks
belongs_to :project
belongs_to :user
accepts_nested_attributes_for :comtasks, allow_destroy: true
end
comtask.rb
class Comtask < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :commission
belongs_to :user
end
commissions_controller.rb
class CommissionsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_commission, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
# GET /commissions
# GET /commissions.json
def index
#commissions = Commission.all
end
# GET /commissions/1
# GET /commissions/1.json
def show
end
# GET /commissions/new
def new
#commission = Commission.new
end
# GET /commissions/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /commissions
# POST /commissions.json
def create
#commission = Commission.new(commission_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #commission.save
format.html { redirect_to #commission, notice: 'Commission was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #commission }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #commission.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PATCH/PUT /commissions/1
# PATCH/PUT /commissions/1.json
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #commission.update(commission_params)
format.html { redirect_to #commission, notice: 'Commission was successfully updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #commission }
else
format.html { render :edit }
format.json { render json: #commission.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /commissions/1
# DELETE /commissions/1.json
def destroy
#commission.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to commissions_url, notice: 'Commission was successfully destroyed.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_commission
#commission = Commission.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def commission_params
params.require(:commission).permit(:project_id, :user_id, :description, :objectname, :location, comtasks_attributes: [:id, :content, :notes])
end
end
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Answer 1

below is the idea,
def create
#commission = Commission.create!(commission_params)
# use create not new to generate #commission.id value
# so comtask records can use the id value as reference
create_comtasks_job
# for comtask create I put in other method
respond_to do |format|
if #commission.save
format.html { redirect_to #commission, notice: 'Commission was successfully created.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #commission }
else
format.html { render :new }
format.json { render json: #commission.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
def create_comtasks_job
# loop 30 tasks / or manual as follow
#commission.comtasks.build(content: 'content1',notes:'notes1')
#commission.comtasks.build(content: 'content2',notes:'notes2')
end
additional code for your model
make sure for your model has relation like sample below
for your model
class Commission < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :comtasks
end
class Comtask < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :commission
end
