    <p>I have the following 4 models</p> <pre><code>Hotel (name) has_one :address has_one :contact has_one :bank_account validates_presence_of :name def build_dependencies build_contact build_address build_bank_account end Address (phone, street_address, hotel_id) belongs_to :hotel validates_presence_of :phone, :street_address Contact (name, email, hotel_id) belongs_to :hotel validates_presence_of :name, :email BankAccount (name, number, hotel_id) belongs_to :hotel validates_presence_of :name, :number </code></pre> <p>In a form used to create a Hotel, I take input for both name and email for the Contact model but only phone for the Address model.</p> <pre><code>HotelController#new @hotel = Hotel.new @hotel.build_dependencies #this creates empty Contact and Address to generate the form fields #render the form to create the hotel HotelController#create #receive form data @hotel = Hotel.new @hotel.build_dependencies @hotel.save :validate =&gt; false @hotel.attributes = params[:hotel] @hotel.save :validate =&gt; false </code></pre> <p>This is the only way I was able to create a Hotel with contact information, phone from address and empty bank account. I had to call </p> <pre><code>@hotel.save :validate =&gt; false </code></pre> <p>the first time to save the Hotel instance with blank instances of BankAccount, Address, Contact. Then I had to update_attributes on contact and address and then</p> <pre><code>@hotel.save :validate =&gt; false </code></pre> <p>to ensure that the original form data got saved completely as expected.</p> <p>This, beyond doubt, is a very bad piece of code. Can anyone tell me how to clean this up?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
