Okay, I think I get the concept of a RESTful many-to-many association
controller, but I've hit a bit of a wall actually implementing it. I've
been Googling for a while, but this simple question is starting to take
up too much time:
Heres where I am:
I have a Meeting model related to Users through Attendees. Simple enough
so far. I need to be able to create, update and destroy meeting
attendees:
in the controller I, of course have create, update and destroy actions
and the attendees are nested under meetings giving the following route:
POST /meetings/1/attendees (for create action).
def create
@meeting = Meeting.find(params[:meeting_id]) # actually in
before_filter
@meeting.users << current_user
...
...
end
Okay so far, however I also need to set additional attributes on the
Attendee object:
attendee.rsvp = "Yes" # for example
So rather than using << to associate the logged in user directly to the
meeting should I instead create the Attendee model directly set the
attributes and save?
def create
attendee = Attendee.new(:meeting_id => params[:meeting_id], :user_id
=> current_user.id, rsvp => params[:rsvp])
if attendee.save
...
else
...
end
end
Or am I way off base and there's a smart and simple way to accomplish
this?
