passing parameter in has_many through association - ruby-on-rails-4

Question

I have a class Test, Question, Testquestion associated by has_many through
class Test
has_many :testquestions
has_many :questions, through: :testquestions
end
class Question
has_many :testquestions
has_many :tests, through: :testquestions
end
class Testquestion
belongs_to :test
belongs_to :questions
end
While creating a Test i want to pass a value of column order of Testquestion.
def create
Test.create(test_params)
end
def test_params
params.require(:test).permit(:testname,question_attributes:[:questionname])
end
How should i pass value of order column so that associated model(Testquestion) get updated.

Answer 1

There's no way to do it that way, you will need to take a longer path.
Don't forget to add accepts_nested_attributes_for to your assossiations, so that nested operations would actualy work.
Check that you have added accepts_nested_attributes_for :question to Testquestion.
Get your params structured right.
Something like this:
{
test: {
testname: 'someName',
testquestion_attributes: {
order: someOrder,
question_attributes: {
questionname: 'someName'
}
}
}
}
Require your params.
params.require(:test).permit(:testname, testquestion_params: [:id, :order, :_destroy, question_params: [:id, :questionname])
p.s. sidenote: you should really aquire a habbit of naming your fields and variables in snake_case and your classes in CamelCase.
