have the relationships:
(my code is in portuguese)
Order
class Pedido < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :pessoa
Person
class Pessoa < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :usuario
has_many :enderecos
has_many :pedidos
accepts_nested_attributes_for :enderecos
end
User
class Usuario < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :pessoas
has_many :pedidos, through: :pessoas
end
carrinhos_controller.rb
def checkout
#pedido = current_usuario.pedidos.build
end
In migration Person have usuario_id, Order have pessoa_id and others...
When I finish an order, the pessoa_id is null and does not save on database, why??
More codes:
pedidos_controller.rb
class PedidosController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_usuario!
# Criar pedido
def create
#pedido = current_usuario.pedidos.build(pedido_params)
if #pedido.save
#pedido.construir_cache_item_carrinho(carrinho_atual)
#pedido.calcular_total!(carrinho_atual)
carrinho_atual.limpar!
#OrdemDeServico.new(carrinho_atual, #pedido).encomendar_pedido!
redirect_to pedido_path(#pedido.token)
else
render "carrinho/checkout"
end
end
Use this code:
def checkout
#pedido = current_usuario.pedidos.build
#pedido.save
end
If you are using build or new, then you have to use save method after that. Otherwise you can use direct create method.
build does not save to the DB. Either save afterwards (#pedido.save) or try #pedido = current_usuario.pedidos.create
I suppose you are using something like a nested form to post the parameters. I often use the nested_form gem by Ryan Bates.
If you look careful at the usage you can find some useful insights.
Also take care of the strong_parameters: it is required to declare in the controller which params you want to permit.

I'm working with three tables as follows:
article.rb
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :comments
has_many :comentarios, :through => :comments
end
comment.rb
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :article
has_many :comentarios
end
and comentario.rb
class Comentario < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :article
end
Everything works fine until I attempt to add a 'comentario' and returns this error
ActiveRecord::HasManyThroughCantAssociateThroughHasOneOrManyReflection in ComentariosController#create
Cannot modify association 'Article#comentarios' because the source reflection class 'Comentario' is associated to 'Comment' via :has_many.
This is the code I use to create a new 'comentario'
comentarios_controller.rb
class ComentariosController < ApplicationController
def new
#comentario = Comentario.new
end
def create
#article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
#comentario = #article.comentarios.create(comentario_params)
redirect_to article_path(#article)
end
private
def comentario_params
params.require(:comentario).permit(:comentador, :comentario)
end
end
The output returns an error in the line where I create #comentario from calling #article but I can't see why since Ruby documentation says that once I associate comentario to article using :through, I can simply call something like #article.comentario.
Any idea of what is causing this error?
or do you have any suggestion on how to achieve this association in any other way?
Ok. The issue is that Rails is confused about which article to use here.
Your Comment model belongs_to :article but also your Commentario belongs_to :article... so if you use #article.commentarios - it's confused as to whether the article refers to the article of the comment or the article of the commentario.
You will probably need to update your form to be more explicit about what you're referring to. A form for the commentario should actually include fields for the comment it creates.
Somebody else had the same problem here. You may wish to look at the solution here: "Cannot modify association because the source reflection class is associated via :has_many"
newbie here...
I am trying to create an events registration page where anybody can register for an event without logging into the system.
My problem is trying to figure out how to tie the registration info to the specific event. I've created all the associations but can't figure how to tell the db that the person is registering for a specific event.
Here are my associations:
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
has_many :event_regs
has_many :regs, through: :event_regs
class Reg < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :event_regs
class Reg < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :event_regs
Thanks in advance
Newbie here
Welcome!
Here's what you'll need:
#app/models/event.rb
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :registrations
end
#app/models/registration.rb
class Registration < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :event
end
This will allow you to use the following:
#config/routes.rb
resources :events do #-> url.com/events/:id
resources :registrations #-> url.com/events/:event_id/registrations/
end
#app/controllers/registrations_controller.rb
class RegistrationsController < ApplicationController
def new
#event = Event.find params[:event_id]
#registration = #event.registration.new
end
def create
#event = Event.find params[:event_id]
#registration = #event.registration.new registration_params
end
private
def registration_params
params.require(:registration).permit(:all, :your, :params)
end
end
This will create a new registration record in your db, associating it with the Event record you've accessed through the route.
--
From this setup, you'll be able to use the following:
#app/controllers/events_controller.rb
class EventsController < ApplicationController
def show
#event = Event.find params[:id]
end
end
#app/views/events/show.html.erb
<% #event.registrations.each do |registration| %>
# -> output registration object here
<% end %>
Foreign Keys
In order to understand how this works, you'll be best looking at something called foreign keys...
This is a relational database principle which allows you to associate two or more records in different database tables.
Since Rails is designed to work with relational databases, each association you use will require the use of a "foreign key" in some respect.
In your case, I would recommend using a has_many/belongs_to relationship:
You'll need to make sure you add the event_id column to your registrations database.
In Rails 3.2 I have been looking for a way to traverse the associations of an object within the before_add callback.
So basically my use case is:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :meetings
end
class Meeting < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users
has_many :comments, :before_add => :set_owner_id
end
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :meeting
end
def set_owner_id(child)
child.owner_id = <<<THE USER ID for #user >>>
end
and I am creating a comment within the context of a user:
#user.meetings.first.comments.create
How do I traverse the associations from within the before_add callback to discover the id of #user? I want to set this at model level. I have been looking at proxy_association, but I may be missing something. Any ideas?
You should probably create the comment in the context of the meeting, no? Either way, you should handle this in the controller since you'll have no access to #user in your model.
#comment = Meeting.find(id).comments.create(owner_id: #user, ... )
But if you insist on your way, do this:
#comment = #user.meetings.first.comments.create(owner_id: #user.id)
Order.rb:
class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :review
end
Review.rb:
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :order
end
I need to build a review, im using this method:
class OrdersController < ApplicationController
def build_review
#review = Review.new(:order => #order)
end
but i get this error:
Can't mass-assign protected attributes: order
any ideas?
You need to white list order for mass assignment via a params hash. Read http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/MassAssignmentSecurity/ClassMethods.html
Add this to the Review model
attr_accessible :order
It would be better to use #review = #order.build_review instead of adding this to attr_accessible. Just in case ;)
So, I've read in some book about tip "Use model association", which encourages developers to use build methods instead of putting ids via setters.
Assume you have multiple has_many relationships in your model. What's best practise for creating model then ?
For example, let's say you have models Article, User and Group.
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :subdomain
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :articles
end
class Subdomain < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :articles
end
and ArticlesController:
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def create
# let's say we have methods current_user which returns current user and current_subdomain which gets current subdomain
# so, what I need here is a way to set subdomain_id to current_subdomain.id and user_id to current_user.id
#article = current_user.articles.build(params[:article])
#article.subdomain_id = current_subdomain.id
# or Dogbert's suggestion
#article.subdomain = current_subdomain
#article.save
end
end
Is there a cleaner way ?
Thanks!
This should be a little cleaner.
#article.subdomain = current_subdomain
The only thing I can think of is merging the subdomain with params:
#article = current_user.articles.build(params[:article].merge(:subdomain => current_subdomain))
