如何将每个用户的表单提交存储在rails-postgres中？

Question

I have a form with dynamic questions and dynamic input responses (Response may be a paragraph, a single word, a boolean or array of options)

I need to store the submission of forms per user . Which one is better, like I'm thinking of creating a submissions model which belongs_to both user and form with a jsonb response column and store as an array of hash which consists of a pair of question and response by the user.

Or

Should I map the response to each question and store them inside a answers model belongs to submissions model?

Answer 1

The answer depends.

If the Form is a strong entity, that will not be destroyed when the user is deleted. Then embed it in json field is not an option.

If the Form is a weak entity, and will only be accessed along with the user. You may store it on a json field.
