module ActiveScaffold # Provides support for param hashes assumed to be model attributes. # Support is primarily needed for creating/editing associated records using a nested hash structure. # # Paradigm Params Hash (should write unit tests on this): # params[:record] = { # # a simple record attribute # 'name' => 'John', # # a plural association hash # 'roles' => { # # associate with an existing role # '5' => {'id' => 5} # # associate with an existing role and edit it # '6' => {'id' => 6, 'name' => 'designer'} # # create and associate a new role # '124521' => {'name' => 'marketer'} # } # # a singular association hash # 'location' => {'id' => 12, 'city' => 'New York'} # } # # Simpler association structures are also supported, like: # params[:record] = { # # a simple record attribute # 'name' => 'John', # # a plural association ... all ids refer to existing records # 'roles' => ['5', '6'], # # a singular association ... all ids refer to existing records # 'location' => '12' # } module AttributeParams protected # Takes attributes (as from params[:record]) and applies them to the parent_record.
