Question

I have a many-to-many relationship between two models, Lists and Users.

When a user creates a list, it should automatically add it to the User.lists array. Right now, I have this working but it smells a bit:

def create
    @list = current_user.lists.new(params[:list])
    current_user.lists << @list

Is there a way to get this down to one line? Not passing @list into the collection with << but have it there automatically when I build the new list?

Thanks

You just have to do this :

@list = current_user.lists.create(params[:list])
