Hi I have nested resources i.e. projects which have many tasks and a
task belongs to a project.
In my project show view I show project info i.e. title and description
and then list all the tasks associated with it.
I want to have a simple non-javascript form which allows a user to add a
new task.
e.g.
<!-- listing tasks is above this -->
<% form_for @project, :url => @project, :method => "PUT" do
|form| %>
<% fields_for @project.tasks.first do |task|%>
<p>
Task: <%= task.text_field :title %>
</p>
<% end %>
<p>
<%= submit_tag "Add Task", :class => "submit" %>
</p>
<% end %>
In the controller i have this
def show
@project = Project.find(params[:id])
#create an empty task for the form
@project.task.create
end
Problems -
Since ive created an empty task for @project, this shows up in my list
of tasks when it shouldnt. I know i could check all tasks in the view to
see if they are actually records with .new_record? but thats adding code
to the view and i feel there must be a much better solution to this?
I also dont like this <% fields_for @project.tasks.first do |task|%> as
the .first implies im dealing with many empty tasks waiting to be
created when in fact there will only be one - is there a better
workaroudn for this as well?

Do @task = @project.tasks.build and use that as the fields_for argument On 03/02/2009, at 21:37, Adam Akhtar <rails-mailing-list@andreas- s.net> wrote:> > Hi I have nested resources i.e. projects which have many tasks and a > task belongs to a project. > > In my project show view I show project info i.e. title and description > and then list all the tasks associated with it. > > I want to have a simple non-javascript form which allows a user to > add a > new task. > > e.g. > > <!-- listing tasks is above this --> > <% form_for @project, :url => @project, :method => "PUT" do |form| %> > <% fields_for @project.tasks.first do |task|%> > <p> > Task: <%= task.text_field :title %> > </p> > <% end %> > <p> > <%= submit_tag "Add Task", :class => "submit" %> > </p> > <% end %> > > In the controller i have this > > def show > @project = Project.find(params[:id]) > #create an empty task for the form > @project.task.create > end > > Problems - > Since ive created an empty task for @project, this shows up in my list > of tasks when it shouldnt.

ahh i got confused between create and build. And the @task idea, dont know why i didnt think about that. Can i confirm that build doesnt actually add a blank task to @project but rather just returns one? Last im wondering how rest changes where i add code. In the above case when a user adds a new task to my project witin the project show view, where should i direct to? The create in the task controller or just update in the project controller (id create build the new task and then update the project model)? Im not sure whether rest encourages you to code as much as possible in the parent resource. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
