Adding Nested Attributes to Devise User Model

Adding nested attributes to devise user model

Forgot to add user_id to address migration. Rails expected it when adding belongs_to :user to the address model.

How do I use nested attributes with the devise model

You may be trying to mass assign some protected variable, OR you might not be saving a valid record. Check to make sure that the record is actually saving to the db.

Devise sign up with nested attributes make attributes required

You need to make changes in devise registrations views.
Generate views for both models: rails g devise:views users and rails g devise:views profiles.

Open registrations/new.html.erb and add html5 required:true attribute to required fields, ex. for email <%= f.email_field :email, required: true %>

When open your a nested model and be sure validation is existed for necessary fields, ex.: validates :first_name, presence: true.

Rails 4.0 with Devise. Nested attributes Unpermited parameters

config/routes.rb

Create your own registration controller like so ... (see Devise documentation for the details of overriding controllers here ...) ... which is more elegant way as opposed to doing it via the ApplicationController

devise_for :users, controllers: {registrations: 'users/registrations'}

app/controllers/users/registrations_controller.rb

Override the new method to create a Profile associated with the User model as below ... run the configure_permitted_parameters method before to sanitize the parameters (note how to add nested parameters)

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters

  # GET /users/sign_up
  def new

    # Override Devise default behaviour and create a profile as well
    build_resource({})
    resource.build_profile
    respond_with self.resource
  end

  protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u|
      u.permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :profile_attributes => :fullname)
    }
  end
end

db/migrate/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx_create_profiles.rb

This is the migration that generates the Profile model (note the reference to User) ... this example profile only keeps fullname as an extension of the User but feel free to add as you wish!

class CreateProfiles < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :profiles do |t|
       t.references :user
       t.string :fullname
       t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

app/models/user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  # Associations
  has_one :profile, dependent: :destroy, autosave: true

  # Allow saving of attributes on associated records through the parent,
  # :autosave option is automatically enabled on every association
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :profile

  # Devise
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

app/models/profile.rb

class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base

  # Associations
  belongs_to :user

  # Validations
  validates :fullname, presence: true
end

app/views/devise/registrations/new.html

<% resource.build_profile if resource.profile.nil? %>
<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name,
                       :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <ul>

    <%= devise_error_messages! %>

    <li class="fullname">
      <%= f.fields_for :profile do |profile_fields| %>
        <%= profile_fields.label :fullname %>
        <%= profile_fields.text_field :fullname %>
      <% end %>
    </li>
    <li class="email">
      <%= f.label :email %>
      <%= f.email_field :email, :autofocus => true %>
    </li>
    <li class="password">
      <%= f.label :password %>
      <%= f.password_field :password %>
    </li>
    <li class="password">
      <%= f.label :password_confirmation %>
      <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
    </li>
    <li>
      <%= f.submit %>
    </li>
    <li>
      <p><%= render "devise/shared/links" %></p>
    </li>
  </ul>
<% end %>

Allowing a nested attribute for a User with Devise in Rails 4

These are nested attributes, so you need to add them in following way:

devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u|
  u.permit(:username, :staff_attributes => [:name, :position, :etc]) 
}

Rails + Devise, registration form with nested attributes not creating associated record

It seems you are using Rails 5, belongs_to requires association record must be exist by default. If so, then you need to add inverse_of to your associations:

class Guest
  has_one :invite, inverse_of: :guest
end

class Invite
  belongs_to :guest, inverse_of: :invite
end

Rails nested Attributes with Devise (Signup form)

Ah interesting - it seems the error was in my bookings model where I was validating lead_id, presence: true. Removing this fixes the issue. Thanks for the help everyone!
