Delegates and building associations

rubyonrails-talk

Class User << ActiveRecord::Base   has_one :profile   delgate :description, :description=, :to => :profile

end

I'd like to do,

@user = User.create(:name => 'Foo Bar', :description => 'Slow.') or @user = User.update_attributes(:description => 'Slow')

and have AR create/update the profile model and association (if it doesn't already exist).

How can I do this? Ideally this would be handled in User's initialize, or callback, but I can't get anything to work. When reaching the delegate statement I get an error that profile is nil.

Thanks

Write Something like this in your user model before_create :build_profile_for_this_user

def build_proile_for_this_user     build_profile   end
