检索Rails中的field params字段

Question

I have been trying to analyze this problem very closely but I am still yet to find a good way to approach it. (Hope my explanation is good enough)

So I have three models [user, status and milestone] the status model belongs to the user model The milestone model belongs to status model and also to the user model through the status model

Okay so I want to tie each milestone to a model by doing something like (milestone.build_status, this is pretty easy from the CLI, I have tested and tried it, and it works as expected.)

So the big issue I am having is on the web page. I am displaying all the statuses (I have already handled cases when the user enter a status) to user with a corresponding text field where they can enter their milestone, well when I do I post I can only get the params of the text field that was supplied (duh! isnt that obvious).

My question would be what are some possible approaches that I can use to figure which particular status that the user entered the milestone for.

Answer 1

I think you may be looking for Active Record Nested Attributes

This will allow your forms for your object of the User model to also accept input for its associated Status and/or Milestone objects for creating and updating each associated records all in one transaction.
