I’ve got a polymorphic association for group_invitations
. You can invite users to join product
as a member or to join product_customer
(it’s not user, it’s something like product customer case) as a customer. To be able to join they have to accept the invitation.
Since it’s polymorphic I decided to do the create action with more controllers instead of using hidden fields. Thanks to that route actions look like:
products/1/group_invitations
product_customers/1/group_invitations
My problem is that I render all the forms on the product show page. So it’s easy to render the form for the certain product like:
<%= form_for([@product, GroupInvitation.new]) do %>
..........
But I’m stuck with the product_customer. Since product has_many product_customers
(again it’s not the user but the “product customer case”), user should choose the product_customer
instance with collection select and rails should set the form action route based on that. How can I achieve that? Is there a rails way to set it somehow or I gotta use js/jquery?
<%= form_for( #should be set based on collection select ) do %>
<%= f.collection_select(:product_customer_id, @product.product_customers, :id, :name) %>
TL;DR Rest of the code is provided just to show how controllers/routes look like. According to me not necessary to solve the problem.
routes.rb
resources :group_invitations, only: :destroy do
member do
patch :accept
end
end
resources :products do
resources :group_invitations, only: [:new, :create], module: :products
end
resources :product_customers do
resources :group_invitations, only: [:new, :create], module: :product_customers
end

end
end

@group_invitation.recipient = @recipient
if @group_invitation.save
