Rails forms an object with embossed rails, and collections do not work or do not check

Question

I use stone with embossed rails to use the shape object in my rails project.

I understand that the form object is probably overflowing for the sample code that I use below, but it is intended for demo purposes.

In the form I create user, and associated with this user post are two user_emails.

# models/user.rb
class User < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :user_emails
end

# models/user_email.rb
class UserEmail < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
end

Please note that I do not use accepts_nested_attributes_for :user_emailsin the model user. It seems to me that one of the main points of form objects is that it helps you avoid using it accepts_nested_attributes_for, so I'm trying to do it without it. I got this idea from this video , which talks about refactoring fat models. I have a link pointing to a video section on form objects, and it expresses how much he doesn't like it accepts_nested_attributes_for.

Then I will go on to create mine user_form:

# app/forms/user_form.rb
class UserForm < Reform::Form
  property :name
  validates :name, presence: true

  collection :user_emails do
    property :email_text
    validates :email_text, presence: true
  end
end

So, the object user_formwraps the record user, and then a couple of records user_emailassociated with this record user. There userare level checks , but user_emailthis form is written to:

• user#name should matter
• everyone user_email#email_textshould matter

: user, user_email. : .

# app/controllers/users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController

  def new
    user = User.new
    user.user_emails.build
    user.user_emails.build
    @user_form = UserForm.new(user)
  end

  def create
    @user_form = UserForm.new(User.new(user_params))
    if @user_form.valid?
      @user_form.save
      redirect_to users_path, notice: 'User was successfully created.'
    else
      render :new
    end
  end

  private
    def user_params
      params.require(:user).permit(:name, user_emails_attributes: [:_destroy, :id, :email_text])
    end
end

# app/views/users/_form.html.erb
<h1>New User</h1>
<%= render 'form', user_form: @user_form %>
<%= link_to 'Back', users_path %>

end

# app/models/user_email.rb
class UserEmail < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :user
end

# if using the latest version of reform (2.2.4): you can now call validates on property 
class UserForm < Reform::Form
  property :name, validates: {presence: true}

  # validate method actually comes from reform this will persist your params to the Class objects
  # you added to the UserForm object. 
  # this will also return a boolean true or false based on if your UserForm is valid. 
  # you can pass either params[:user][:user_emails] or params[:user][user_email_attributes]. 
  # Reform is smart enough to pick up on both.
  # I'm not sure you need to use strong parameters but you can.

    if @user_form.validate(user_params)
