Module: Cocooned::Helpers::Tags::Add

Defined in:
lib/cocooned/helpers/tags/add.rb

Overview

Helpers to generate action triggers to add items in a nested form.

Signatures

{method}(label, form, association, options = {})
  # Explicit name

{method}(form, association, options = {}) do
  # Name as a block
end

{method}(form, association, options = {})
  # Use default name

Parameters

label is the text to be used as the link label. See the main documentation for Cocooned::Helpers::Tags for more about labelling.

form is your form builder. Can be a SimpleForm::Builder, Formtastic::Builder or a standard Rails FormBuilder.

association is the name of the nested association. Ex: cocooned_add_item_link “Add an item”, form, :items

Options

options can be any of the following.

Association options:

  • insertion_method : the method to be used to insert new items. Can be any of before, after, append, prepend, replaceWith. Defaults to before

  • insertion_node : a CSS selector to match new items insertion node. Can be any CSS selector supported by document.querySelector. For compatibility with the original Cocoon:

    • ‘this’ is supported as a special value to use the trigger itself as insertion node.

    • If no value is specified, the trigger’s parent will be used.

  • count: how many item will be inserted on click. Defaults to 1.

Rendering options:

  • partial: the nested form partial. Defaults to ‘associationassociation.singular_name_fields`.

  • form_name: name used to access the form builder in the nested form partial. Defaults to :f.

  • form_options: options to be passed to the nested form builder. Can be used to specify a wrapper for simple_form_fields if you use its Bootstrap setup, for example. No defaults.

  • locals: a hash of local variables to forward to the partial. No default.

Building options:

  • wrap_object: anything responding to call to be used to wrap the newly build item instance. Can be useful with decorators or special initialisations. No default. Ex:

    cocooned_add_item_link "Add an item", form, :items,
  wrap_object: Proc.new { |comment| CommentDecorator.new(comment) })

  • force_non_association_create: force to build instances of the nested model without calling association build methods (‘build_association` or `association.build`). Can be usefull if, for some specific reason, you need an object to not be created on the association, for example if you did not want after_add callbacks to be triggered. Defaults to false.

Compatibility options:

These options are supported for backward compatibility with the original Cocoon. **Support for these options will be removed in the next major release !**.

  • insertion_traversal: a jQuery DOM traversal method name to use in combination with insertion_node to find the insertion node from the trigger. Can be any of closest, parent, prev, next or siblings. Expressed in jQuery pseudo-code, the insertion node will be determined as the result of ‘$(trigger).traversal(insertion_node)`.

  • render_options: A nested Hash originally used to pass locals and form builder options.
