how would you create an edit page with a form to edit the user profile

Assuming you are using devise and your models look something like this:

class Profile < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
end

# and 

class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_one :profile, dependent: :destroy
  after_create :init_profile

  def init_profile
    self.create_profile!
  end
end

Then in your profiles_controller.rb:

  def edit
      @profile = current_user.profile
  end

  def update
      @profile = current_user.profile
    respond_to do |format|
      if @profile.update profile_params
        format.html { redirect_to edit_profile_path, notice: "Profile updated!" }
        format.json { render :edit, status: :ok, location: @profile }
      else
        format.html { redirect_to edit_profile_path, flash: { error: "Profile could not be updated!" } }
        format.json { render json: @profile.errors.messages, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

then in views/profiles/edit.erb:

<%= form_for @profile, url: {action: "update"} do |f| %>

  <!-- Whatever your fields are -->
  <%= f.text_field :name %>
  <%= f.text_area :bio %>

  <%= f.submit "Update Profile" %>
<% end %>

Using @profile = current_user.profile instead of @profile = Profile.find(params[:id]) means that you always get the currently logged in user's profile when they go to an edit view, so they can't get anyone else's. It also sets up the form to already know which user's profile to update. If anyone has a reason not to do this, let me know!

This is awesome, but is there a way to do it, get a profile.id and still be able to do something like this later:

# profile.rb
validates_presence_of :name, :bio

I figured it out (not perfect, but it works):

@owner = @project.project_users.where( role: "owner" ).first.user

How would you need to modify this to work with deeply nested resources?

i.e:

  resources :projects do
    resources :project_users, path: :users, module: :projects
    resources :posts do
      resources :comments, module: :posts
    end
  end

How do you actually check that role field later, i.e. vs `current_user`?
