  Is there something that you cannot do with the Hobo nested model support?

  My observations after I made a parent model (a belongs_to) show up on a form

  • I think hobo requires you to pass every attribute in the Hash even if you just want to update a single one
  • Rails 2.3 format makes it easy to update just a single attribute
  • Using the rails 2.3 way of passing attributes around makes it faster to learn hobo as reading logs is familiar
  • I had to manually create the dryml for it, automation is nice

  Of course the current Hobo way of doing things can be made to work but in the long term should be better to use the
  rails 2.3 format.

  In the end I got the code to behave the way I wanted by writing a converter in front of attributes= that converted the hobo format to rails 2.3 format.

  • State changed from “new” to “open”
  • Milestone set to “Beyond Hobo 1.0”

  Hobo does not require every attribute to be in the hash. The only attribute required is the id, so it can tell the difference between a new object and an edit of an old object.

  As far as reading the logs, I find it easier to read the Hobo format, because that's what I'm used to. :)

  Most of the work of converting to the 2.3 format will be in the taglibs.
