    # through the parent. By default nested attribute updating is turned off
    # and you can enable it using the accepts_nested_attributes_for class
    # method. When you enable nested attributes an attribute writer is
    # defined on the model.
28 29 30
    #
    # The attribute writer is named after the association, which means that
    # in the following example, two new methods are added to your model:

    #
32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56
    # <tt>author_attributes=(attributes)</tt> and
    # <tt>pages_attributes=(attributes)</tt>.
    #
    #   class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     has_one :author
    #     has_many :pages
    #
    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :author, :pages
    #   end
    #
    # Note that the <tt>:autosave</tt> option is automatically enabled on every
    # association that accepts_nested_attributes_for is used for.
    #
    # === One-to-one
    #
    # Consider a Member model that has one Avatar:
    #
    #   class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     has_one :avatar
    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar
    #   end
    #
    # Enabling nested attributes on a one-to-one association allows you to
    # create the member and avatar in one go:
    #
57
    #   params = { :member => { :name => 'Jack', :avatar_attributes => { :icon => 'smiling' } } }

    #   member.avatar.id # => 2
    #   member.avatar.icon # => 'smiling'
61 62 63
    #
    # It also allows you to update the avatar through the member:

Pratik Naik 已提交
64 65
    #   params = { :member => { :avatar_attributes => { :id => '2', :icon => 'sad' } } }
    #   member.update_attributes params[:member]
66
    #   member.avatar.icon # => 'sad'
67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77
    #
    # By default you will only be able to set and update attributes on the
    # associated model. If you want to destroy the associated model through the
    # attributes hash, you have to enable it first using the
    # <tt>:allow_destroy</tt> option.
    #
    #   class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     has_one :avatar
    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :avatar, :allow_destroy => true
    #   end
    #
78
    # Now, when you add the <tt>_destroy</tt> key to the attributes hash, with a
79 80
    # value that evaluates to +true+, you will destroy the associated model:
    #
81
    #   member.avatar_attributes = { :id => '2', :_destroy => '1' }
82 83
    #   member.avatar.marked_for_destruction? # => true
    #   member.save
84
    #   member.reload.avatar # => nil
85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93
    #
    # Note that the model will _not_ be destroyed until the parent is saved.
    #
    # === One-to-many
    #
    # Consider a member that has a number of posts:
    #
    #   class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     has_many :posts
94
    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts
95 96 97 98 99
    #   end
    #
    # You can now set or update attributes on an associated post model through
    # the attribute hash.
    #
100
    # For each hash that does _not_ have an <tt>id</tt> key a new record will
101
    # be instantiated, unless the hash also contains a <tt>_destroy</tt> key
102 103 104 105 106 107
    # that evaluates to +true+.
    #
    #   params = { :member => {
    #     :name => 'joe', :posts_attributes => [
    #       { :title => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' },
    #       { :title => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' },
108
    #       { :title => '', :_destroy => '1' } # this will be ignored
109
    #     ]
110 111 112
    #   }}
    #
    #   member = Member.create(params['member'])
113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137
    #   member.posts.length # => 2
    #   member.posts.first.title # => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!'
    #   member.posts.second.title # => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen'
    #
    # You may also set a :reject_if proc to silently ignore any new record
    # hashes if they fail to pass your criteria. For example, the previous
    # example could be rewritten as:
    #
    #    class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #      has_many :posts
    #      accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes['title'].blank? }
    #    end
    #
    #   params = { :member => {
    #     :name => 'joe', :posts_attributes => [
    #       { :title => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!' },
    #       { :title => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen' },
    #       { :title => '' } # this will be ignored because of the :reject_if proc
    #     ]
    #   }}
    #
    #   member = Member.create(params['member'])
    #   member.posts.length # => 2
    #   member.posts.first.title # => 'Kari, the awesome Ruby documentation browser!'
    #   member.posts.second.title # => 'The egalitarian assumption of the modern citizen'
138
    #
139
    # Alternatively, :reject_if also accepts a symbol for using methods:
140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150
    #
    #    class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #      has_many :posts
    #      accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :reject_if => :new_record?
    #    end
    #
    #    class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #      has_many :posts
    #      accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :reject_if => :reject_posts
    #
    #      def reject_posts(attributed)
151
    #        attributed['title'].blank?
152 153 154
    #      end
    #    end
    #
155 156
    # If the hash contains an <tt>id</tt> key that matches an already
    # associated record, the matching record will be modified:
157 158
    #
    #   member.attributes = {
159 160 161 162 163
    #     :name => 'Joe',
    #     :posts_attributes => [
    #       { :id => 1, :title => '[UPDATED] An, as of yet, undisclosed awesome Ruby documentation browser!' },
    #       { :id => 2, :title => '[UPDATED] other post' }
    #     ]
164 165
    #   }
    #
166 167
    #   member.posts.first.title # => '[UPDATED] An, as of yet, undisclosed awesome Ruby documentation browser!'
    #   member.posts.second.title # => '[UPDATED] other post'
168
    #
169 170 171
    # By default the associated records are protected from being destroyed. If
    # you want to destroy any of the associated records through the attributes
    # hash, you have to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt>
172
    # option. This will allow you to also use the <tt>_destroy</tt> key to
173
    # destroy existing records:
174 175 176 177 178 179
    #
    #   class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     has_many :posts
    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts, :allow_destroy => true
    #   end
    #
180
    #   params = { :member => {
181
    #     :posts_attributes => [{ :id => '2', :_destroy => '1' }]
182 183
    #   }}
    #
184 185
    #   member.attributes = params['member']
    #   member.posts.detect { |p| p.id == 2 }.marked_for_destruction? # => true
186
    #   member.posts.length # => 2

    #
    # === Saving
    #
    # All changes to models, including the destruction of those marked for
    # destruction, are saved and destroyed automatically and atomically when
    # the parent model is saved. This happens inside the transaction initiated
    # by the parents save method. See ActiveRecord::AutosaveAssociation.

    #
    # === Using with attr_accessible
    #
    # The use of <tt>attr_accessible</tt> can interfere with nested attributes
    # if you're not careful. For example, if the <tt>Member</tt> model above
    # was using <tt>attr_accessible</tt> like this:
    #
    #   attr_accessible :name
    #
    # You would need to modify it to look like this:
    #
    #   attr_accessible :name, :posts_attributes
208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223
    #
    # === Validating the presence of a parent model
    #
    # If you want to validate that a child record is associated with a parent
    # record, you can use <tt>validates_presence_of</tt> and
    # <tt>inverse_of</tt> as this example illustrates:
    #
    #   class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     has_many :posts, :inverse_of => :member
    #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :posts
    #   end
    #
    #   class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
    #     belongs_to :member, :inverse_of => :posts
    #     validates_presence_of :member
    #   end

227 228 229
      # Defines an attributes writer for the specified association(s). If you
      # are using <tt>attr_protected</tt> or <tt>attr_accessible</tt>, then you
      # will need to add the attribute writer to the allowed list.
230 231 232 233
      #
      # Supported options:
      # [:allow_destroy]
      #   If true, destroys any members from the attributes hash with a
234
      #   <tt>_destroy</tt> key and a value that evaluates to +true+
235 236
      #   (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'). This option is off by default.
      # [:reject_if]
237 238 239 240 241
      #   Allows you to specify a Proc or a Symbol pointing to a method
      #   that checks whether a record should be built for a certain attribute
      #   hash. The hash is passed to the supplied Proc or the method
      #   and it should return either +true+ or +false+. When no :reject_if
      #   is specified, a record will be built for all attribute hashes that
242
      #   do not have a <tt>_destroy</tt> value that evaluates to true.
243
      #   Passing <tt>:all_blank</tt> instead of a Proc will create a proc
244 245
      #   that will reject a record where all the attributes are blank excluding
      #   any value for _destroy.
246 247
      # [:limit]
      #   Allows you to specify the maximum number of the associated records that
248 249
      #   can be processed with the nested attributes. Limit also can be specified as a
      #   Proc or a Symbol pointing to a method that should return number. If the size of the
250 251 252
      #   nested attributes array exceeds the specified limit, NestedAttributes::TooManyRecords
      #   exception is raised. If omitted, any number associations can be processed.
      #   Note that the :limit option is only applicable to one-to-many associations.
253
      # [:update_only]
254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265
      #   For a one-to-one association, this option allows you to specify how
      #   nested attributes are to be used when an associated record already
      #   exists. In general, an existing record may either be updated with the
      #   new set of attribute values or be replaced by a wholly new record
      #   containing those values. By default the :update_only option is +false+
      #   and the nested attributes are used to update the existing record only
      #   if they include the record's <tt>:id</tt> value. Otherwise a new
      #   record will be instantiated and used to replace the existing one.
      #   However if the :update_only option is +true+, the nested attributes
      #   are used to update the record's attributes always, regardless of
      #   whether the <tt>:id</tt> is present. The option is ignored for collection
      #   associations.
