Enhancement on nested forms: send params as array
Reported by Mauricio Eduardo Szabo | August 17th, 2010 @ 06:48 PM
I was looking at this post on Rails Forum:
http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=28447
And tried to create something more simple. The best I came was to rename the text_field's name property, so my "task" partial was:
<%= f.hidden_field :id, :name => 'project[tasks_attributes][][id]' %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name, :size => 15, :name => 'project[tasks_attributes][][name]' %>
It works as a charm. On older versions of Rails, if I named an input like 'project[][name]' the result would be a little strange, but right now it sends an array of hashes, as one would expect.
I uploaded the example code to my github: http://github.com/mauricioszabo/Nested-Forms-example.
I think that it would make more sense to generate HTML
like:
<input id="project_tasks_attributes_0_name" name="project[tasks_attributes][][name]" size="15" type="text" />
Than to generate
<input id="project_tasks_attributes_0_name" name="project[tasks_attributes][0][name]" size="15" type="text" />
Because it have the same functionality, clutters less the code,
it's more flexible to adapt (I just need to generate a static for
the text_field, don't need to create a "fake unique ID"), and,
right now, it doesn't need any changes on the model part, just on
the Form Helper.Comments and changes to this ticket
