Question

Im new to Rails, im trying to execute the save method within an ActionController’s Create method multiple times to insert multiple values

def create

  @pin = Pin.new(params[:pin])
  i = 1

  while i < 10
    if @pin.save
    end
  end

  redirect_to @pin

end

This works but only inserts one record
there’s no Contraints that enforces uniqueness of Records in my Database.
Please how do i correct this?

Answer 1

One AR objects maps to one row. You need to create new object for each row you want added.

Something like that:

10.times do
  pin = Pin.new(params[:pin])
  pin.save
end

or

10.times do 
  Pin.create(params[:pin]
end

create method creates an AR object and saves it in the database.
However, you cannot redirect to 10 objects.
