Simple_Form, Nested Resources & Rails 5

Question

I am trying to get my simple_form to work on a nested resource and it is being uncooperative.

These are my models:

location.rb :

# == Schema Information
#
# Table name: locations
#
#  id         :integer          not null, primary key
#  name       :string
#  created_at :datetime         not null
#  updated_at :datetime         not null
#

class Location < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :inventory_items, inverse_of: :location
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :inventory_items
end

inventory_item.rb :

# == Schema Information
#
# Table name: inventory_items
#
#  id                    :integer          not null, primary key
#  product_id            :integer
#  location_id           :integer
#  created_at            :datetime         not null
#  updated_at            :datetime         not null
#

class InventoryItem < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :product
  belongs_to :location, inverse_of: :inventory_items
end

These are my routes.rb :

  resources :locations, shallow: true do
    resources :inventory_items
  end

At this path: app/views/inventory_items/_form.html.erb , I have the following:

<%= simple_form_for [@location, @inventory_item] do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_notification %>

  <div class="form-inputs">
    <%= f.input :product, collection: Product.all %>
    <%= f.input :location, as: :hidden, value: @location %>
  </div>

  <div class="form-actions">
    <%= f.button :submit, class: "btn btn-outline-primary" %>
  </div>
<% end %>

In my InventoryItemsController , I have this:

  # GET /inventory_items/new
  def new
    @location = Location.find(params[:location_id])
    @inventory_item = InventoryItem.new
  end

  def create
    @inventory_item = InventoryItem.new(inventory_item_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @inventory_item.save
        format.html { redirect_to @inventory_item, notice: 'Inventory item was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @inventory_item }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @inventory_item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

My strong params in my InventoryItemsController looks like this:

def inventory_item_params
  params.require(:inventory_item).permit(:product_id, :location_id)
end

This is the error that I get:

I am using Rails 5.1 & Simple Form 3.5.1.

Edit 1

I tried changing the _form.html.erb partial to be just:

<%= simple_form_for @inventory_item do |f| %>

And I still get the same/similar error:

Answer 1

更改于： app/views/inventory_items/_form.html.erb

<%= simple_form_for @inventory_item do |f| %>

Answer 2

It seems the correct answer for this was simply adding the url: option to the simple_form_for helper method and changing the name of the f.input to :product_id .

So the final version of my _form.html.erb looks like this:

<%= simple_form_for @inventory_item, url: :location_inventory_items do |f| %>
  <%= f.error_notification %>

  <div class="form-inputs">
    <%= f.input :product_id, collection: Product.all %>
    <%= f.input :location_id, as: :hidden, value: @location %>
    <%#= f.input_field :avatar, as: :hidden, value: @profile.cached_avatar_data, class: 'col-lg-4 form-control '%>
  </div>

  <div class="form-actions">
    <%= f.button :submit, class: "btn btn-outline-primary" %>
  </div>
<% end %>
