Tables for New/Edit Views - Editing multiple child records #1097

Curiously, both of these work: form do |f|
f.inputs "Recipe Details" do
f.input :title
f.input :owner
end

table_for(recipe.ingredients) do
column :name
column :availability

panel "Ingredients" do
table_for(recipe.ingredients) do
column :name
column :availability
end
end

I'm looking into just how Formtastic and ActionView render these forms, and I found this to render the form at the VERY top of the page (before the ## app/admin/recipe.rb
form do |f|
# ...
custom_table(recipe.ingredients)
f.buttons
end
## /app/helpers/recipe_helper.rb
module RecipeHelper
def custom_table(stuff)
table_for ingredients, :class => "index_table", :id => "ingredients" do
column :name
column :availability
end
end
endThis is a step farther since now it shows up on the same page... but I think |

I don't think that you can do that with Formtastic. You can create your own partial with Rails form helpers and render it with |

For now I've made this partial that does almost everything I want: https://gist.github.com/2038003 |

Here's an illustration of what forms could be :) (using the above gist) Note: this is a 'new' form. On an 'edit' form, there are buttons on the right to remove child records from the table. Edit: I figured out how to remove the child records, and the gist has been updated to reflect that. I make a DELETE request via jQuery and also remove that row from the page. |

I'd like to request that this issue be re-opened. While (as @pcreux said) I can do what I wanted using a form partial, I really shouldn't need to--this should be an option baked into Active Admin. |

@daxter What about opening a pull requests with an enhanced "has_many"? :) |
|
I would have already, but that requires "porting" it from a partial to AA itself. Once I've done that I'll be sure to send in a pull request. |

@pcreux What should I name the feature? Should I just replace the current |

Hello @daxter Using https://github.com/nathanvda/cocoon library I was able to manipulate a nested model from within an ActiveAdmin form. With some stylesheet I could make all the inputs of the nested model to appear inlined as in your above gist, but with removal actually working. Note that I had to escape from ActiveAdmin "form" definition to a partial to output both the form and the link to the "add new" button. |

Thanks for the tip @jperville, but I figured it out a while ago. I just updated the gist with my solution starting on line 24 (sending a DELETE request to the server via jQuery) |

Hello,
I need to be able to easily view and edit large amounts of data. This is in the from of a child model, with multiple values in each record needing to be set but each may not hold the same value necessarily (think between 5 and 30 child records). Step one in this is making the data viewable in an embedded table in the new/edit form so it takes up less space, with step two allowing in-line editing (AJAX) and batch actions as with #247.
The best way forward for step one would probably be to just render the very same table that's in the index view, but I can't figure out how to. I have a feeling this will screw around with the CSS on the page, but I can fix that when I get there.
