rails simple_form two models
I'm starting to use simple_form for 开发者_StackOverflow社区a rails application, and while converting some of my forms, I came across one that has two models that it is working with, sort of an embedded form. Is this possible with simple_form?
<% simple_form_for :topic, :url => forum_topics_path do |t| %>
<%= t.input :name, :label => 'Topic' %></p>
<p>First Post:<br/></p>
Title: <%= text_field :post, :title %> <--- this is where i start having problems
Body: <%= text_area :post, :body %>
<%= t.submit 'Save' %>
Thanks
Use simple_fields_for
:
<%= simple_form_for :topic, :url => forum_topics_path do |topic_builder| %>
<%= topic_builder.input :name, :label => 'Topic' %>
<%= topic_builder.simple_fields_for :post do |post_builder| %>
<p>First Post:</p>
<%= post_builder.input :title, :input_html => { :size => 30 } %>
<%= post_builder.input :body, :as => :text, :input_html => { :rows => 20, :cols => 50, :class => 'resizable' } %>
<% end %>
<%= topic_builder.submit 'Save' %>
<% end %>
Notes
Note the
=
symbol in<%= simple_form_for ...
and<%= simple_fields_for
(required in Rails 3.x)Removed "Title:" and "Body:" text. Use the label generated for the inputs and style their location with CSS as needed.
Added example of using
input_html
There's another approach that I'm using and it works great. Ryan Bates (RailsCasts) has created a gem to handle this.
See https://github.com/reu/simple_nested_form for the details.
