I'm looking for a way to add new child objects to a parent's has_many
collection, but without doing an immediate save.
There is build():
p = Parent.new(stuff)
p.children.build(params)
But the problem is I'd like to do this conditionally without having to
pick apart params. I'd do:
c = Child.new(params)
p.children << c unless (some conditional stuff on c)
or
p.children.push(c) unless (some conditional stuff on c)
but both of those immediately save the child object c.
Lastly, associating the child to the parent via the child:
p = Parent.new(stuff)
c = Child.new(params)
c.parent = p unless (some conditional stuff on c)
leaves the parent unaware of the child in its p.children collection.
Is there a clean rails-y idiom I'm missing?
Thanks much...
