Using a nested form with populator.

[shettytejas]

I have two contracts:

1. Signup

   class Auth::Contracts::Signup < Reform::Form
   property :first_name, required: true
   property :last_name, required: true
   property :username, required: true
   property :user_auth_detail, required: true, populator: ->(_) { self.user_auth_detail = UserAuthDetail.new } do
   property :email, required: true
   property :password, required: true
   
   validates :email, 'valid_email_2/email': { disposable: true }, unique: true
   end
   
   validates :username, unique: true
   end

2. Update

   class Auth::Contracts::Update < Reform::Form
   property :email, required: true
   property :password, required: true
   
   validates :email, 'valid_email_2/email': { disposable: true }, unique: true
   end

You could see that the populator of the Signup form has the same code which is already available in the Update form. Is there a way I could use the Update form directly with the populator? I've tried playing around with the code, but then the validation of the nested form weren't taking place.

Any help with this would be nice 😄

@Shetty-Tejas Did you try nesting explicit form ?

property :user_auth_detail, form: Auth::Contracts::Update, ...

@yogeshjain999 yea I did. I replaced the populator with the form as stated above, but then I was getting the "Your :populator did not return a Reform::Form instance for user_auth_detail." error.

Update: I tried adding the form with the populator and it's defo not throwing any errors and the tests are passing. So looks like this worked 😄 Thanks Yogesh 👍🏾

property :user_auth_detail, required: true, form: Auth::Contracts::Update, populator: ->(_) { self.user_auth_detail = UserAuthDetail.new }
