Let's say you have a polymorphic model called Notes
that you will be assigning to Projects
and Authors
, and Notes
have a title
and content
.
Once you've edited the app/models/author.rb
and app/models/project.rb
to both have:
has_many :notes, as: :notable
And inside of app/models/note.rb
you have:
belongs_to :notable, polymorphic: true
has_rich_text :content
(also, make sure you've done bin/rails action_text:install
) then in rails console
you should be able to run:
n = Project.first.notes.create
n.content.body = "<p>Some body content</p>"
n.title = "Note Title"
n.save
So the not totally obvious part is just using PolymorphicModel.your_actiontext_field.body
. My first time around I named the actiontext field body
, so then I had to search for body.body
which was just too ugly, so I changed it to content.
