Form generator

Form generator

Ascent have a custom built form generator to automatically generate a form with all its attributes. To customize it use the following methods below

Exclude fields

These fields are automaticly excluded from being generated

id, created_at, updated_at

To exclude fields from being automatically generated you can configurate you model from within your model definition file. Example:

class ModelName
  ascent do
    exclude 'column_name1', :column_name2
  end
end

Association Scopes

If you want to scope certain collections you can do that by defining the column name for the association followed by a Proc

The proc can take 2 arguments, the first is the scope of the model, the other one is the current object being modified, note that this can be nil if the object is not yet created.

Example:

class ModelName
  ascent do
    collection_scope :comment_id, proc {|scope, object| 
      scope.where(published: false)
      scope.where.not(id: object.id) if object.present?
    }
  end
end
