I'm using nested attributes in a new project, but struggling with one issue.
Imagine, for example you have the models User, Book, and Shelf. A user has_many books, and has_many shelves. A shelf also has_many books. User accepts_nested_attributes for books and shelves, and shelves accept them for books.
So, if I were to do something like the following pseudo code:
shelf = @user.shelves.find([some conditions]) book = shelf.books.new([some params]) book.save()
In this case, the book should be correctly associated with the shelf, but it's not associated with the user. Is there a way to automatically have the book be associated with the user that the shelf was associated with when the book is created like this? Perhaps through a callback?
Just wondering if there's a standard way to do this before I go re-inventing anything.
Thanks
