So I have a few models that need to be created, but only based on a few inputs. There is no need for nested attributes, in fact I would rather avoid this.
The way I have been doing it is like so class WidgetsController < ApplicationController def create respond_to do |format| if current_user.create_widget(params[:foo]) flash[:success] = "Processed your request" else flash[:error] = "There was a problem processing your request" end format.html { redirect_to widgets_path } end end end class User < ActiveRecord::Base def create_widget params User.transaction do widget = self.widgets.build.save! widget.blinky_lights.build(params[:foo]).save! true end end end In this contrived example, Widget is basically an entity that other crap will hang from. Is this even a decent build pattern or does someone have a better idea of how to handle a case like this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
