After reading previous discussions on the topic ([1] and [2]), I have
tried to take the best ideas and create a working plugin that adds
nested mass assignment to ActiveRecord. Please see
http://github.com/cainlevy/nested_assignment/tree/master.
My paradigm parameters are:
{
# singular associations
:avatar_params => {
:id => '7',
:name => 'mugshot.jpg'
},
# plural associations
:tasks_params =>
{
# create
'1' => { :name => "Baz" },
# update
'2' => { :id => '3', :name => "Foo" },
# destroy
'3' => { :id => '5', :name => "Bar", :_delete => '1'}
}
}
Ryan, I don't believe this is on http://gist.github.com/10793.
There is one failing test for this setup because of a limitation with
using #build for a has_one association (which I've started a separate
discussion about[3]). The plugin's tests are in sqlite3 :memory:, so
they should be pretty easy to set up and run.
So the question is: what's missing? How could this be improved?
