Question

I have an app, and now, I need to save user’s preferences.
I’ve done the following:

class User
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  embeds_one :setting
end

and

class Setting
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  belongs_to :user

  field :notify, type: Boolean
end

the question is: how can I make a form to save user’s preferences? I have no idea at all…
anything is appreciated 🙂

Answer 1

form_for current_user.settings || current_user.build_settings

Create also the controller

class SettingsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    settings = Settings.new params[:settings]
    if settings.save
      flash[:notice] = 'Settings saved'
    else
      flash[:error] = 'Settings could not be saved'
    end
    redirect_to :back
  end

  def update
    settings = Settings.find params[:id]
    if settings.update_attributes params[:settings]
      flash[:notice] = 'Settings saved'
    else
      flash[:error] = 'Settings could not be saved'
    end
    redirect_to :back
  end
end
