You (effectively) delete the intermediate object. You could try one of two
things:
@person.pictures -= [@picture]
If all the items are persisted, then that should delete the join object
immediately. (Just tested, it did work here.)
@person.pictures = @person.pictures.to_a.reject{ |p| p == @picture }
(Long-hand way to do the same thing)
Now if you have a UI around this, what you would do is build an array of
checkboxes with the picture IDs in them, and then use the helper method
@person.picture_ids=(array of ids) that the association built for you. You
don't need to do any of the above long-hand.
So in your controller, you would add picture_ids: [] to the end of your list of
allowed attributes in the strong parameters. Next, you would create a checkbox
for each attached image in your form:
<%- @person.pictures.each do |picture| %>
<%= check_box_tag 'person[picture_ids][]', picture.id, true %>
<%= image_tag picture.file_url %> (just guessing how your internals look, do
something here to show a thumbnail)
<%- end %>
And that should do the whole thing for you.
