Administrate::Field::NestedHasMany

A plugin for nested has_many forms in Administrate.

Compatibility

This gem depends on Administrate APIs that may change over time. For this reason, some versions of this gem will be compatible only with some versions of Administrate.

This is a table of known compatibilities. It is accurate to the best of our knowledge. Please let us know if you detect other incompatibilities:

nested_has_many Administrate
v2.1.0 v0.20.0
v2.0.0 up to v0.19
v1.3.0 up to v0.15
#726d8gc from v0.16
master up to v0.19.0

Usage

Add to your Gemfile:

gem "administrate-field-nested_has_many"

Run:

$ bundle install

Add to your FooDashboard:

ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = {
  bars: Field::NestedHasMany.with_options(skip: :foo),
}

The skip option takes a single symbol or list of symbols. It will prevent the nested form from displaying the fields for those attributes.

If a Customer has_many :orders, and you want to render orders as a nested form on the customer edit page, then it is generally necessary to add skip: :customer to the options for the NestedHasMany field. Otherwise, Administrate will try to render a field for the order's :customer attribute, which breaks the nested form logic.

Troubleshooting

undefined method 'new_record?' for nil:NilClass

This field assumes that your models are setup for nested assignment as per Rails conventions. For example, if you have a Recipe that has_many :ingredients, you would have something like this:

class Recipe < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :ingredients

  accepts_nested_attributes_for(
    :ingredients,
    reject_if: :all_blank,
    allow_destroy: true
  )
end

Specifically, you'll see this new_record? error if you forget the accepts_nested_attributes_for declaration.
