Dynamic Nested Forms With Turbo Part 2 Discussion
Great lesson: thanks Collin! I learned a couple of new tricks there - appreciated!
Hey Terry! Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m super glad to hear that you enjoyed it and got some new tricks out of it!
For some reason, I lost the ability to update after adding the helper at the end. Anyone else?
Unpermitted parameters: :task_12, :task_13. Context: { controller: ProjectsController, action: update, request: #<ActionDispatch::Request:0x000000010f9478b0>, params: {"_method"=>"patch", "authenticity_token"=>"[FILTERED]", "project"=>{"name"=>"something", "tasks_attributes"=>{"task_12"=>{"description"=>"text"}, "task_13"=>{"description"=>"text",}}}, "button"=>"", "controller"=>"projects", "action"=>"update", "id"=>"2"} }
Well, looked into it further. Def a bug. Rails doesn't like when you try to send that stuff through with the keys for the tasks as dom_id's which is a bummer. I got a fix you can see here https://github.com/gorails-screencasts/dynamic-nested-forms-with-turbo-get/commit/adfe726005c89f1c71b81f1ddf63c797bddad80a
I'm gonna look into this more when a have some free time to see what else can be done here bc I feel like there's a better option. Sorry about that but thanks for bringing it up, Willard!
Thanks for the videos! One thought on the beginning part where you change the form to use task.hash. Why not just use that for all the tasks? If you include the ID as a hidden field, which I think you do in your code, I think Rails looks for the ID in the params hash anyways when updating existing records, right?
Hey Collin!
First of all I must say I enjoy your videos very much and appreciate the effort you put into them
From what I can see, the formmethod attribute in the button tag does not accept delete as an option (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#formmethod)
Is rails doing something to override that maybe?
Nice lessen, Currently I'm trying to create a double nested form like this Project -> task -> note using this technique.
But the issue that I run in to now is that when adding a note when creating a new project and task there is no task.id or task object id in the form field for the notes partial to create the correct name <%= fields_for project[task_attributes][task id][note_attributes][note id]
when using 0 for task id it creates a new task for every note you try to add
What would be a clean solution to get the task id or object id in the notes partial?
Managed to get something working by putting the fields_for record_name attribute "project[tasks_attributes][#{task.persisted? ? task.id : task.object_id }]" in a variable and then pass that variable as an parameter to notes_field in the controller. The data is then passed back to the turbo_stream partial notes_field using a global variable, next in the notes partial you can then concatenate the [notes_attributes][#{note.persisted? ? note.id : note.object_id }] to the variable and use that in the new field_for.
Hope that makes any sense
