Question

i’d like to use the same model to create in one view (new.erb.html) more records at once with a single submit.

for example I’ve a model called Report with some fields such title, description and date

how can render same form partial many times when i click an add button? i think is not a nasted model’s problem because is always the same model actions.
Thanks

You can do something like this (I haven’t test the code myself):

haml:

.model
  %input{:name => "model[][name]"}
  %input{:name => "model[][desc]"}
  %input{:name => "model[][date]"}
.container
%button.add-model

js:

$('.add-model').click(function(){
  $('.model').clone().first().appendTo('.container');
})

controller:

def save
   params[:model].each do |props|
     Model.create(props)
   end
end
