# ActiveRecord::NestedAttributesDestroyIf Adds a `:destroy_if` option to `.accepts_nested_attributes_for`, which is basically a stronger version of `:reject_if` that also destroys existing records. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'active_record-nested_attributes-destroy_if' ``` And then execute: $ bundle ## Usage Use the `destroy_if` option when `reject_if` isn't strong enough, i.e. you want to also destroy existing records that pass the test, not just reject new records. ```ruby class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :children accepts_nested_attributes_for :children, destroy_if: proc { |attrs| attrs["name"].blank? } end class Child < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :parent end tywin = Parent.create!(id: 1, name: "Tywin") Child.create!(id: 1, parent_id: 1, name: "Jaime") Child.create!(id: 2, parent_id: 1, name: "Tyrion") tywin.children # => [, ] tywin.update!({ children_attributes: { "0" => { id: 1, name: "Ser Jaime", }, "1" => { id: 2, name: "", }, }, }) tywin.children # => [] Child.find(2) # => raises ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound! Tyrion was destroyed! ``` ## Development After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests.
