There are at least 10 questions on this topic, but not one of them answers this specific problem. Many questions relate to Rails forms like this , which I don't have, or to more complex json structures like this or this .
EDIT regarding the accepted answer and why it is not an exact duplicate
The related question in the answer from @CarlosRoque initially looks like the same problem, but it only solves the Rails problem of that particular problem.
If you read all the comments, you will see that several attempts to change the method template_params
were made for RENAME or REPLACE the nested attribute "template_items" with "template_items_attributes". This is necessary because Rails accepts_nested_attributes_for
requires adding "_attributes" to the name, otherwise it will not be able to see it.
If you study the monkey patch code in this answer to fix the wrap_parameters parameters so that it works for nested attributes, you still have a problem that it will not actually find "template_items" (nested object) because it does not have the suffix "_tributes "
Therefore, in order to completely solve this problem, the client also had to be modified to send a nested object as "template_items_attributes". For JS clients, this can be done by implementing the toJSON () method for the object in order to change it during serialization (example here ). But keep in mind that when deserializing JSON, you need to manually create an instance of this object for the JSON () function to work (explained why here ).
I have a simple has_many / belongs_to:
Models:
class Template < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :account
has_many :template_items
accepts_nested_attributes_for :template_items, allow_destroy: true
end
class TemplateItem < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :template
validates_presence_of :template
enum item_type: {item: 0, heading: 1}
end
json sent from the client is as follows:
{
"id": "55e27eb7-1151-439d-87b7-2eba07f3e1f7",
"account_id": "a61151b8-deed-4efa-8cad-da1b143196c9",
"name": "Test",
"info": "INFO1234",
"title": "TITLE1",
"template_items": [
{
"is_completed": false,
"item_type": "item"
},
{
"is_completed": false,
"item_type": "heading"
}
]
}
Sometimes in each template_item there will be an attribute :id
and :content
(for example, after they have been created and the user will start editing them).
The method is template_params
templates_controller
as follows:
params.require(:template).permit(
:id, :account_id, :name, :title, :info,
template_items: [:id, :is_completed, :content, :item_type]
)
Rails, :
params.require(:template).permit(
:id, :account_id, :name, :title, :info,
template_items_attributes: [:id, :is_completed, :content, :item_type]
)
.
:
def template_params
params.require(:template).permit(:id, :account_id, :name, :title, :info, template_items: [:id, :is_completed, :content, :item_type])
params[:template_items_attributes] = params.delete(:template_items) if params[:template_items]
Rails.logger.info params
end
, :
{
"template" =><ActionController::Parameters {
"id" =>"55e27eb7-1151-439d-87b7-2eba07f3e1f7",
