Entry view form

[Chris Ashfield]

If anyone has a custom view entry form that works, I'd love to see it. I got a new account view to work and moved on to entries. However, the closest I came was:

Controller:

def create

  @entry = Plutus::Entry.new(entry_params)

end

private

  def entry_params

  params.require(:entry).permit(:description, :date, :debits => [:account_name, :amount], :credits => [:account_name, :amount] )

  end

View:

<%= form_for(@entry, url:entries_new_path) do |f| %>

<table>

<tr>

<th>Description</th>

<th>Date</th>

<th>Debit Amount</th>

<th>Debit Account</th>

<th>Credit Amount</th>

<th>Credit Account</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><%= f.text_field :description %></td>

<td><%= f.date_select :date %></td>

<td><%= text_field Plutus::DebitAmount, :debit_amount %></td>

<td><%= collection_select(Plutus::Account, :id, Plutus::Account.all, :id, :name, :prompt => true) %></td>

<td><%= text_field Plutus::CreditAmount, :credit_amount %></td>

<td><%= collection_select(Plutus::Account, :id, Plutus::Account.all, :id, :name, :prompt => true) %></td>

</tr>

</table>

<br />

<%= f.submit "Create new entry", class: "btn btn-primary" %>

<% end %>

Notice the "f" removed from the collection_selects and text_fields for the inherited parameters (because Rails complained I couldn't act on the @entry if I kept them. This produces an entry assembly that doesn't work: 

Output:

Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"GNq+RmAQLbczxb0SpYI9m0qF8XvQwdZoOGuQoajfJh3SUqsz76durN/mLR3I/Nw6xFdH8U+Trw2cEOvbZlq+hQ==", 

"entry"=>{"description"=>"Order placed for widgets", "date(1i)"=>"2018", "date(2i)"=>"8", "date(3i)"=>"7"}, 

"Plutus::DebitAmount"=>{"debit_amount"=>"100"}, 

"Plutus::Account"=>{"id"=>"6"}, "Plutus::CreditAmount"=>{"credit_amount"=>"100"}, 

"commit"=>"Create new entry"}

NOte that the second Account (for credits) is missing completely, and the nesting of debits and credits didn't occur (see below):

Versus the output necessary via the readme:

entry = Plutus::Entry.new(

                :description => "Order placed for widgets",

                :date => Date.yesterday,

                :debits => [{:account_name => "Cash", :amount => 100.00}],

                :credits => [{:account_name => "Unearned Revenue", :amount => 100.00}])

entry.save

It is simpler to have a Form Object that supports your entry creation. 

#/forms/entry_creation.rb

   

  class EntryCreation

    include ActiveModel::Model

    attr_accessor :description, :date, :debit_account, :debit_amount, :credit_account :credit_amount]

  

  def save 

    create_entry 

  end 

  

  private 

  

  def create_entry 

    entry = Plutus::Entry.build(

      description: description,

      date: date

    entry.debit_amounts.build(

      amount: debit_amount,

      account: debit_account)

    entry.credit_amounts.build(

      amount: credit_amount,

      account: credit_account)

    entry.save!

   end 

  end 

end

#controller 

def create

  @entry = EntryCreation.new(entry_params)

end

private

  def entry_params

   params.require(:entry_creation).permit(:description, :date, :debit_account_id, :amount, :credit_account_id, :credit_amount)

  end

My entries are created through allocations from bank statements and the capturing of things like assets and expenses, I can't do it that way. Thanks for your input, I'll be happy to share anything I come up with.
