I am using Ruby on Rails 3.1.0 and I would like to run a :reject_if
method (as described in the official documentation related to the accepts_nested_attributes_for
method in the "One-to-many" association section) on class object instances "at all" (that is, to run the :reject_if
method not on attributes - as made in the linked documentation - but on records that should be "subsequently" stored in the database). In few words, I would like to reject\filter some nested model\class object instances that should be stored in the database by running a custom method on those instances.
For example, if I have the following:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :article,
accepts_nested_attributes_for :article
end
I would like to make something like this (the following code does not work):
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :article,
# Note: by using 'article' in the block I (would like to) refer to class
# object instances
accepts_nested_attributes_for :article, :reject_if => { |article| article.can_be_create开发者_运维技巧d? }
end
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
def can_be_created?
true if user.has_authorization?
end
end
Is it possible? If so, how can I make that?
Make a method that returns a boolean, and give the method name as a symbol to :reject_if
, eg:
accepts_nested_attributes_for :article, :reject_if => :article_uncreateable?
def article_uncreateable?
!Article.new(article_attributes).can_be_created?
end
