module Sequel module Plugins # The nested_attributes plugin allows you to create, update, and delete # associated objects directly by calling a method on the current object. # Nested attributes are defined using the nested_attributes class method: # # Artist.one_to_many :albums # Artist.plugin :nested_attributes # Artist.nested_attributes :albums # # The nested_attributes call defines a single method, association_attributes=, # (e.g. albums_attributes=). So if you have an Artist instance: # # a = Artist.new(:name=>'YJM') # # You can create new album instances related to this artist: # # a.albums_attributes = [{:name=>'RF'}, {:name=>'MO'}] # # Note that this doesn't send any queries to the database yet. That doesn't happen till # you save the object: # # a.save # # That will save the artist first, and then save both albums. If either the artist # is invalid or one of the albums is invalid, none of the objects will be saved to the # database, and all related validation errors will be available in the artist's validation # errors. # # In addition to creating new associated objects, you can also update existing associated # objects. You just need to make sure that the primary key field is filled in for the # associated object: # # a.update(:albums_attributes => [{:id=>1, :name=>'T'}]) # # Since the primary key field is filled in, the plugin will update the album with id 1 instead # of creating a new album. # # If you would like to delete the associated object instead of updating it, you add a _delete # entry to the hash: # # a.update(:albums_attributes => [{:id=>1, :_delete=>true}]) # # This will delete the related associated object from the database. If you want to leave the # associated object in the database, but just remove it from the association, add a _remove # entry in the hash: # # a.update(:albums_attributes => [{:id=>1, :_remove=>true}]) # # The above example was for a one_to_many association, but the plugin also works similarly # for other association types. For one_to_one and many_to_one associations, you need to # pass a single hash instead of an array of hashes. # # This plugin is mainly designed to make it easy to use on html forms, where a single form # submission can contained nested attributes (and even nested attributes of those attributes). # You just need to name your form inputs correctly: # # artist[name] # artist[albums_attributes][0][:name] # artist[albums_attributes][1][:id] # artist[albums_attributes][1][:name] # # Your web stack will probably parse that into a nested hash similar to: # # {:artist=>{:name=>?, :albums_attributes=>{0=>{:name=>?}, 1=>{:id=>?, :name=>?}}}} # # Then you can do: # # artist.update(params[:artist]) # # To save changes to the artist, create the first album and associate it to the artist, # and update the other existing associated album. module NestedAttributes # Depend on the instance_hooks plugin. def self.apply(model) model.plugin(:instance_hooks) end module ClassMethods # Module to store the nested_attributes setter methods, so they can # call be overridden and call super to get the default behavior attr_accessor :nested_attributes_module # Allow nested attributes to be set for the given associations. Options: # * :destroy - Allow destruction of nested records. # * :fields - If provided, should be an Array. Restricts the fields allowed to be # modified through the association_attributes= method to the specific fields given. # * :limit - For *_to_many associations, a limit on the number of records # that will be processed, to prevent denial of service attacks. # * :reject_if - A proc that is given each attribute hash before it is # passed to its associated object. If the proc returns a truthy # value, the attribute hash is ignored. # * :remove - Allow disassociation of nested records (can remove the associated # object from the parent object, but not destroy the associated object). # * :strict - Kept for backward compatibility. Setting it to false is # equivalent to setting :unmatched_pk to :ignore. # * :transform - A proc to transform attribute hashes before they are # passed to associated object. Takes two arguments, the parent object and # the attribute hash. Uses the return value as the new attribute hash. # * :unmatched_pk - Specify the action to be taken if a primary key is # provided in a record, but it doesn't match an existing associated # object.
