Question

Hello I have the following models.

The User Model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation
  has_one :user_informations
  has_secure_password
end

The UserInformation Model:

class UserInformation < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  attr_accessible :address, :address2, :business, :descripcion, :identification_number, :mobile_cell, :name, :phone_number
end

Now I need to create the view and the controller to create and update the user information, and I have many questions:

1) how can I generate the controller:

rails g controller UserInformations

o

rails g controller UserInformation

2) how my new, create and update action know the user ID.

3) how can I set the routes for this user information

Thanks. Maybe these are a basic question, but I’m new in rails and I don’t know how to do all of this.

Thanks again for your help.

Answer 1

1) You have to use pluralize for controller, so rails g controller UserInformations will work.

2 + 3) You can set up Restful routes:

resources :users do
  member do
    get 'user_information'
  end
end

With above routes you will have path users/:id/user_information, so you can know your user ID through params[:id], ex, in your create or update action you can use:

user = User.find(params[:id])

to find which user is shown informaton.
