accepts_nested_attributes_for and add/remove nested model forms with JS
I''ve looked at the complex_form example app on GitHub, but I''m
not
sure I understand how it works.
For now I''ve managed to display the partial using the render command,
and stopped at the "add new item" link... Here''s the current
code:
<%= f.error_messages %>
<p>
<%= f.label :name %><br />
<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<table id="recipe_ingredients">
<tr>
<th>ingredient</th>
<th>in units</th>
<th>quantity</th>
<th>delete?</th>
</tr>
<% f.fields_for :recipe_ingredients do |ri_f| %>
<%= render :partial => ''recipe_ingredient'',
:locals => { :f =>
ri_f } %>
<% end %>
</table>
<p>
<%# Add new item link here... %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :preparation %><br />
<%= f.text_area :preparation %>
</p>
What I''m not clear about in the example app at GitHub[1] is where the
link for creating the new item appears in the template code.
(Unfortunately, I wasn''t able to get the project up on my box, so I
don''t even know how the templates are rendered.)
If someone could explain (even if only in short) what is going on with
the app, or maybe point me to a simpler solution/example, I''d
appreciate it.
