Ruby on Rails Saving to Database

Question

Hi i'm a beginner in Ruby on Rails Here is my doubt. I have this method in my controller

def save_profile
    p "======================================"
    p params
    p "======================================"
    p params[:company][:job_locations_attributes]
    p "company_params------------------------"
    p company_params
    p "--------------------------------------"
    company_profile
    @location = JobLocation.new(:city_id => params[:city_id])
    @location.save
    if @company.update_attributes(company_params)
      redirect_to company_dashboard_path(@company.id)
    else
      render 'company_profile'
    end
  end

and in terminal i get the output like

"======================================"

I want to get that 33 and Job Locations.. I want to save those two variables inside table Location under columns job_id and state_id where job_id is 33 and state_id is 2

Answer 1

you can use it.

job_id = params[:company][:job_locations_attributes].keys[0] 

state_id = params[:company][:job_locations_attributes][job_id]['job_locations']

Answer 2

If you'd like to keep it short

job_id, state_id = params[:company][:job_locations_attributes].first

Location.create(:job_id => job_id, state_id => state_id.values[0])

Answer 3

You can get the hash values like this,

params[:company][:job_locations_attributes].keys.first => "33" 
params[:company][:job_locations_attributes].values.first["job_locations"] => "2"

you can use the values to create location like this,

Location.create(:job_id => params[:company][:job_locations_attributes].keys.first, :state_id => params[:company][:job_locations_attributes].values.first["job_locations"])

Would recommend to send job_id and state_id in seperate params from your view with names like job_id and state_id , so that we can get the job_id and state_id as params[:job_id] and params[:state_id]
