How to post to a nested resource in Rails?

Question

I have a nested resource in my routes.rb file:

resources :users do
  resources :children
end

I have a form at /users/:id/children/new. Form comes up fine and the embedded ruby for the form looks like this:

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>

Problem is I want this to submit to /users/:id/children, but it submits to /users. Is there a standard way this should be done in Rails?

Answer 1

The embedded form shold look like this

<%= form_for [@user, Children.new] do |f|%>
 <%= f.label :children_attr,.....%>
  .
  .

see this vedio, it might help.
