do_create(options = {}) click to toggle source

A somewhat complex method to actually create a new record. The complexity is from support for subforms and associated records. If you want to customize this behavior, consider using the before_create_save and after_create_save callbacks.

# File lib/active_scaffold/actions/create.rb, line 87
def do_create(options = {})
  attributes = options[:attributes] || params[:record]
  begin
    active_scaffold_config.model.transaction do
      @record = update_record_from_params(new_model, active_scaffold_config.create.columns, attributes)
      apply_constraints_to_record(@record, :allow_autosave => true)
      create_association_with_parent(@record) if nested?
      before_create_save(@record)
      self.successful = [@record.valid?, @record.associated_valid?].all? {|v| v == true} # this syntax avoids a short-circuit
      create_save(@record) unless options[:skip_save]
    end
  rescue ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError => ex
    flash[:error] = ex.message
    self.successful = false
  end
end
do_new() click to toggle source

A simple method to find and prepare an example new record for the form May be overridden to customize the behavior (add default values, for instance)

# File lib/active_scaffold/actions/create.rb, line 78
def do_new
  @record = new_model
  apply_constraints_to_record(@record)
  create_association_with_parent(@record) if nested?
  @record
end
