Hey all, Let's say you are not going to use an html form. Rather the user will input data in a third-party application that will communicate with the rails controller through http requests, but serves as a replacement to the html. In other words, it's taking the place of front end.
My question is can you update the attributes of another table, let's say studentfails table, from let's say a students controller (which has a students table) based on user input (the user input needs to be inserted in the studentfails table). I was hoping something like this, but this doesn't work: student.rb has_one :student_fail attr_accessor :student_fail_attribute def find_failing_student @student = @student.find params[:id] end def update_failing_student @student = @student.find params[:id] @student.build_student_fail params[:student][:student_fail_attribute] end Even for this you have to put student_fail_attribute in the html. I'm hoping there's a way where you don't have to put anything in the html. Any suggestions?
