Is there a method (or way to pull off similar functionality) to do a fields_for_with_index
?
Example:
<% f.fields_for_with_index :questions do |builder, index| %>
<%= render 'some_form', :f => builder, :i => index %>
<% end %>
That partial being rendered needs to know what the current index is in the fields_for
loop.
The answer below was posted many years ago, for a modern approach see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22640703/105403
This would actually be a better approach, following Rails documentation more closely:
<% @questions.each.with_index do |question,index| %>
<% f.fields_for :questions, question do |fq| %>
# here you have both the 'question' object and the current 'index'
<% end %>
<% end %>
From: http://railsapi.com/doc/rails-v3.0.4/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#M006456
It’s also possible to specify the instance to be used:
<%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
...
<% @person.projects.each do |project| %>
<% if project.active? %>
<%= person_form.fields_for :projects, project do |project_fields| %>
Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
