user -notes relationship

[Turcu Marius]

i have 2 models
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :notes, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :notes
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

end


class Note < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
validates :content, presence: true,length: { minimum: 15 }

end

the database schema

create_table "notes", primary_key: "note_id", force: true do |t|
t.text "content"
t.integer "user_id"
end



create_table "users", primary_key: "user_id", force: true do |t|
t.string "first_name"
t.string "last_name"
t.string "email", default: "", null: false
t.string "encrypted_password", default: "", null: false
t.string "reset_password_token"
t.datetime "reset_password_sent_at"
t.datetime "remember_created_at"
t.integer "sign_in_count", default: 0, null: false
t.datetime "current_sign_in_at"
t.datetime "last_sign_in_at"
t.string "current_sign_in_ip"
t.string "last_sign_in_ip"
t.datetime "created_at"
t.datetime "updated_at"
t.boolean "admin", default: false
end

this is my method for saving notes
def save_note
@note = Note.new(lesson_params)

if @note.save
flash[:notice] = "You have successfully add a lesson."
redirect_to pages_home_url
else
flash[:notice] = "Failed."
redirect_to pages_home_url
end
end


private

def lesson_params
params.require(:note).permit(
:content)
end
end

when i save a note isn't put in my database the user_id and I don't know
why...I have to extract the curent user_id and i don't preaty much kknow
how to do it. Also, i check in console and this i get :" INSERT INTO
`notes` (`content`) VALUES ('asdasd asdakshdasmd ')". It seems like my
user_id isn't inserted in db. i came from another world called php and
there the things are different.

I must be honest- I am running into this problem myself learning rails.  I thought that when I create something the user_id should be generated automatically in the created model.  While testing I figured I would come back to it.  In the meantime I set user_id in my entry table manually in the create method ( I am using devise):

@entry = Entry.new(entry_params)

@entry.user_id=current_user[:id]

I assume the above code is in a CONTROLLER. If so, you should stick to the controller actions index, new, create, edit, update, and show. Avoid creating a controller action with another name. 

You didn't show us the VIEW. In the VIEW, does the form you are submitting contain a user_id ? If not, that is why you don't have a user_id  in your notes record.

If this note is supposed to be associated to the currently logged in user, you'll want to add 

before_filter authenticate_user!

to the top of your controller, and also in your create method do something like this:

current_user.notes.create(lesson_params)

You will find this documented in the section marked "has_many Association Reference" on this page:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html#has-many-association-reference

(By the way, the current_user method itself comes from devise, which documentation you should thoroughly read here: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise)

Finally, get yourself RubyMine and learn how to use the Go-To-Declaration (Command-B). Do that NOW before you go any further. (Another IDE is acceptable too if it has Go-To-Declaration functionality) 

 private

 def lesson_params
   params.require(:note).permit(
     :content)
 end
end

`notes` (`content`) VALUES ('asdasd asdakshdasmd ')". It seems like my

Why are you not using the default primary key (id)? You will just
make life difficult if you avoid the rails conventions unless you have
a good reason for so doing.

If you update this: 

@note = Note.new(lesson_params)

to:

@note = current_user.notes.new(lesson_params)

that should work the way you want.
