def get_partial_path(partial, association)
  partial ? partial : association.to_s.singularize + "_fields"
end

shows a link that will allow to dynamically add a new associated object.

  • name : the text to show in the link

  • f : the form this should come in (the formtastic form)

  • association : the associated objects, e.g. :tasks, this should be the name of the has_many relation.

  • html_options: html options to be passed to link_to (see link_to)

    - *:render_options* : options passed to `simple_fields_for, semantic_fields_for or fields_for`
        - *:locals*     : the locals hash in the :render_options is handed to the partial
    - *:partial*        : explicitly override the default partial name
    - *:wrap_object     : !!! document more here !!!
    - *!!!add some option to build in collection or not!!!*
    
  • *&block*: see link_to

    html_options[:'data-association-insertion-template'] = CGI.escapeHTML(render_association(association, f, new_object, render_options, override_partial)).html_safe

    link_to(name, '#', html_options )
  end
end

this will show a link to remove the current association. This should be placed inside the partial. either you give

  • name : the text of the link

  • f : the form this link should be placed in

  • html_options: html options to be passed to link_to (see link_to)

or you use the form without name with a *&block*

  • f : the form this link should be placed in

  • html_options: html options to be passed to link_to (see link_to)

  • *&block*: the output of the block will be show in the link, see link_to
