Stimulus Nested Forms | Ruby on Rails 7 Tutorial

Today we take a look at a Stimulus implementation for nested forms in Ruby on Rails 7. It's a bit of a follow-up to the cocoon video we did the other day.

Successfully replaced Cocoon, which had me gouging my eyes out adding the jQuery dependency, with this. Thanks very much for the help.

[@SupeRails]

Now we're talking! Much better than cocoon approach in 2023.

Your content helps me a lot, thanks for the video

[@singaporean8205]

Wow thank you this was what I needed!!

[@thomasconnolly8201]

Thanks for this. I'm wondering if the tasks could be sorted via drag & drop?

[@azizdevfull]

Amazing : )

I already had a nested form thing somewhat working, being able to add dynamic rows with Stimulus JS, however, my delete wasn't working yet. So I watched this video, replaced everything instead with your logic, but none of the buttons worked for some reason.

Thank you very much for the video! I had a task with nested form in the nested form and I used this stimulus controller - not the easiest task, trully saids.. nested form in nested form can be had ache

[@Deanin]

Yeah the nested form stuff gives me a headache too!

[@andrewkancev6035]

Dean, it's great. Can you tell me how to use tasks created before? i mean don't create new tasks

[@johanandre5338]

Nice! I would even go one step further by not using accepts_nested_attributes_for and using turbo-frames. Then you probably could ditch the stimulus controller (or at least simplify it).

[@KurtisMullins]

@johanandre5338 If you have a little "for dummies" video, guide, or gist on how to do that, I'd be interested! There's a lot to digest coming into Rails 7 with a lot of habits and muscle memory from working with other languages and libraries/frameworks.

[@siyammohammed5416]

if I have 2 nested forms what will I do?

[@aksharjamgaonkar9020]

HI thanks for the video. I am seeing an error ERROR in ./node_modules/stimulus-rails-nested-form/dist/stimulus-rails-nested-form.mjs 2:16-17 Can't import the named export 'Controller' from non EcmaScript module (only default export is available). any help here would be great, thanks.
