I have a model within my application called Admin.
This Admin can have multiple emails and these emails are stored within a hash called emails. For example,
{"sales"=>{"general"=>"sales@shop.com"},"support"=>{"general"=>"support@shop.com"}}
When creating an form to access these specific emails, I am able to get each individual email to appear within an input, but when I try to update the modal, nothing changes as my admin_params[:emails] is nil.
The following is my form within my edit.html.erb file:
<%= form_for @admin do |f| %>
<dt class="col-sm-10">Admin Emails</dt>
<% @admin.emails.each do |type, subtype|%>
<dt class="col-sm-10"> <%= f.label type %> </dt>
<% if @admin.emails.include?(type) %>
<% @admin.emails[type].each do |subtype_label, subtype_email| %>
<%= f.fields :emails do |field| %>
<dd class="col-sm-5"><%= field.label subtype_label %></dd>
<dd class="col-sm-5"><%= field.text_field subtype_label, :value => subtype_email %></dd>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Here is the set_admin method that is called before any other method except index:
def admin_params
params.require(:admin).permit(:name, :emails)
end
Here is my update method:
def update
binding.pry
@admin.update(
name: admin_params[:name],
emails: admin_params[:emails]
)
redirect_to admin_path(@admin)
end
And finally, here is the HTML that gets render on a specific input:
<input value="emails" type="text" name="admin[emails][general]" id="admin_emails_general">
Any clue what my problem is? Been scratching my head on this one all day.
