How to save data from another model. To archive information

Question

I have two models: employees and reports. Every month some information about employees changes while others remain the same. I want to create reports with the information month by month. So if you want to know how much an employee received in a given month just access the report of that employee that month. I am trying to create this functionality using Accept next Attributes. Is it correct? I’m having trouble creating the report form on the employee show page. Is there any way right? Thanks.

First: "create the form" on the "employee show" page I don’t know if it’s necessary, by convention forms are in the "new.html.erb" view, but if that’s what you want, a form on the same page that displays user information, the form is created in the same way.

In addition, you need a has_many relationship between employee and report (an employee has multiple reports).

#app/controllers/offices_controller.rb
class OfficesController < ApplicationController  
  def show
    @employee = Employee.find(params[:id]) # Aqui você está pegando o funcionário
    @report = Report.new # Aqui você cria uma nova instância de um objeto Report
  end
end

# app/views/offices/show.html.erb
<%= @employee.name %>
<%= @employee.age %>
<%= @employee.salary %>

<%= form_for(@report) do |f| %>
  <%= f.hidden_field :employee_id, value: @employee.id %>
  <%= f.text_field :salary, value: @employee.salary %>
  <%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

#app/controllers/reports_controller.rb
class ReportsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    Report.create(report_params)
  end

  private

  def report_params
    params.fetch(:report).permit!
  end
end
