Rails 3 syntax with attr_accessible and creating associated objects
Given following model:
rails g model Menu name:string
rails g model MenuHeader mh_name:string menu_id:integer
class Menu < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :menu_headers
attr_accessible :menu_headers_attributes, :name开发者_运维问答
end
class MenuHeader < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :menu
end
Trying to add via rails console, I get:
Menu.create({"name"=>"My first menu",:menu_headers_attributes=>{:mh_name => "here is my name"}})
ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError: unknown attribute: menu_headers_attributes
What would be the correct syntax for adding this?
Could I remove the attr_accessible?
thx
edit #1 from bricker's answer (thx btw, really appreciate!)
class Menu < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :menu_headers
attr_accessible :name
accepts_nested_attributes_for :menu_headers
end

You need to add:
accepts_nested_attributes_for :menu_headers
into your Menu model. That will add the menu_headers_attributes
as an attribute to Menu
.
