Help with Omniauth and adding records

Question

I'm creating a little app to get to know rails a little better, I've used the omniauth gem to allow users to register/signin using facebook, that works great.

However, say for example I use a scaffold for the user to add an address, how can I create a relationship between the two? As I understand a user has_many :addresses and address belongs_to :user but how do I create a record when a user adds an address specifically for that user so when it comes to them logging in they only see the addresses they added?

Hope that makes sense

Thanks

Answer 1

You'll want to scope the create using the association. This means that if User has_many :addresses, you'll want to require login in a before_filter in AddressesController. Then, inside your controller, you'll want to change lines like (from the show action):

Address.find(params[:id])

to

current_user.addresses.find(params[:id])

Similarly, you'll want to scope your create actions through the association, as well.
