Save Record Multiple Times Different Parameters Rails

I have an order model with a product_id foreign key and users can specify delivery_day on a single form.

If a user selects Monday and Friday, I'd like to save two records of the order with different delivery_day attributes but the same product_id.

controllers/orders_controller.rb

def new
  @product = Product.find(params[:product])
  @day = params[:day]
  @order = Order.new(:user_id => current_user.id, :product_id => @product.id, :delivery_day => @day) 
end

def create
  @order = Order.new(order_params)
  if @order.save
    redirect_to @order, notice: 'Order was successfully created.'
  else
    render :new
  end
end

views/orders/_form.html.erb

<%= form_for(@order) do |f| %>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :user_id %><br>
    <%= f.number_field :user_id %>
  </div>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :product_id %><br>
    <%= f.time_select :product_id %>
  </div>
<div class="field">
  <%= f.label :delivery_day %><br>
  <%= f.check_box :delivery_day %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
  <%= f.submit %>
</div>

<% end %>

I looked around, but couldn't find an answer to this. Not sure if nested associations are overkill (like coccoon) because I'm just trying create multiple records of order with different delivery_day parameters.

Show the day names as checkboxes using a loop

<% Date::DAYNAMES.each do |day| %>

  <div class="field">
    <%= label_tag "<%= day %>" %><br>
    <%= check_box_tag "delivary_days[]" %>
  </div>

<% end %>

Now, receive the selected day names from your controller as params[:delivary_days], then manipulate the result accordingly.

In your controller:

params[:delivary_days].each do |day|
  Order.create(other_parameters, :delivery_day => day)
end

I suggest you to go to the check_box_tag for necessary options.

You should take checked element from form as array of selected element. Something like this order[:delivery_day][].

You are using check_box tag in your form this might cause some issue. Because there is a gotcha while you update through check_box tag, You can read here.

So better you use check_box_tag helper as suggested in above link.

Try change your check_box code something like below:

<div class="field">
  <%= hidden_feild_tag "order[delivery_day][]", nil %>
  <%= ["mon", "tue", "wed", "thurs", "fri", "sat", "sun"].each do |day| %>
    <%= check_box_tag "order[delivery_day][]", day, true_or_false_if_selected_before_add_condition %>
    <%= label_tag day.capitalize %>
  <% end %>
</div>

So you will get params selected in order[delivery_day][] params. If it include blank remove them with ruby method.

And in your create and update method try create product S BELOW:

order[delivery_day].each do |day|
  Order.create(other_params, :delivery_day => day)
end

Update your form as

<%= f.label :delivery_day %><br>
<%= f.select(:delivery_day,options_for_select(Date::DAYNAMES), {multiple: true, data: {placeholder: "Select Days"}}) %>

Update your controller create action as:

def create
  delivery_days = order_params[:delivery_day]
  delivery_days.each do |day|
    @order = Order.new(order_params.merge({delivery_day: day}))
    render :new unless @order.save
  end
  redirect_to @order, notice: 'Order was successfully
end

Hope It will help you. Thanks
