Ruby on Rails Model Association with params

Question

Here is my model

class Location
  has_many :areas
end

class Area
  belongs_to :location
end

The Controller

def create
   @area = Area.new(area_params)
   @area.location_id = session[:current_location]
end

How can I associate this model when I'll create a new area? something like this?

def create
 @area = @location.areas.create(area_params)
end

Answer 1

Be sure to set the location_id attribute upon creation. It should be included in the params. If you provide the full controller file I could be more specific.

Yes, include the area_params can include a location_id and it should be a column in the database.
