Adding and listing has_many via associations in Active Admin
I have the following setup:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :device_ownerships, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :devices, :through => :device_ownerships
end
class device < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :device_ownership, :dependent => :destroy
has_one :user, :through => :device_ownership
end
class deviceOwnership < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :device
validates_uniqueness_of :device_id, :scope => :user_id
validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, :scope => :device_id
end
I am trying to accomplish the following in Active Admin:
In the edit window
1) List of all devices owned by the user, with the ability to delete the device or destroy deviceOwnership
, which connects the device to the user
2) it is possible to create a new user interface device from existing devices (by creating a new one deviceOwnership
).
3) it is possible to create a new device and add it to the user through a new one deviceOwnership
.
I have listed my problems with what I currently have in the comments below:
ActiveAdmin.register User do
permit_params :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :role,
device_ownerships_attributes: [:device_id, :user_id],
devices_attributes: [:device_identifier]
index do |user|
user.column :email
user.column :current_sign_in_at
user.column :last_sign_in_at
user.column :sign_in_count
user.column :role
actions
end
filter :email
form do |f|
f.inputs "User Details" do
f.input :email
f.input :password
f.input :password_confirmation
f.input :role, as: :radio, collection: {Editor: "editor", Moderator: "moderator", Administrator: "administrator"}
#This one allows to create new devices but also lists all existing devices with option to modify their device_identifier column which I don't want
f.has_many :devices, :allow_destroy => true, :heading => 'Themes', :new_record => true do |cf|
cf.input :device_identifier
end
#This one lists all the devices but no option to remove any of them.
f.input :devices
#This one shows dropdownw with existing devices but allows to swap them
f.has_many :devices, :allow_destroy => true do |device_f|
device_f.input :device_identifier, :as => :select, :collection => device.all.map{ |device| [device.device_identifier] }, include_blank: false,
end
f.actions
end
end
end

Line
f.has_many :devices, :allow_destroy => true, :heading => 'Themes', :new_record => true do |cf|
cf.input :device_identifier
end
looks like it might do the job. You can check if cf.object is a new entry, and only then can the user change device_identifier
in that case.
cf.input :device_identifier if cf.object.new_record?
or something like cf.input :device_identifier, input_html: { readonly: !cf.object.new_record? }
What do you think?
