- BREAKING: the triggered javascript events
removal-callback,after-removal-callback, andinsertion-callbackare renamed to the more correct and symmetriccocoon:after-insert, cocoon:before-insert, cocoon:after-remove, cocoon:before-remove. Also the events are namespaced to prevent collisions with other libraries. - allow created objects to be decorated with a callable. This is especially useful if you are using Draper or some decorator instead of the plain model in your views.
- it is now possible to specify a relative node, and use standard jquery traversal methods on insertion
- trigger insertion event on correct
insertionNode - thanks to #90 cocoon now supports non-AR associations and array-fields, you just have to supply your own
build_<association>methods
I would really really like to thank all contributors, check them out https://github.com/nathanvda/cocoon/graphs/contributors They made cocoon way more awesome than I could have done in my lonesome.
- Fix that it still works for mongoid
- Use association build methods instead of assoc.klass.new. This avoids mass-assignment errors and other misbehaviors around attribute accessibility.

improved handing of the
:partial: remove the extra options-hash, and just make it use the single hash, so now we can just write= link_to_add_association 'add something', f, :tasks, :partial => 'shared/task_fields' = link_to_add_association 'add something', f, :tasks, :class => 'your-special-class', :partial => 'shared/task_fields'
- pull #53 (@CuriousCurmudgeon): fixed some bugs introduced in previous version (ooooops! Thanks!!!)
- pull in #51 (@erwin): adding an
after-removal-callbackin javascript, very useful if you want to recalculate e.g. total-items or indexes - pull in #42 (@zacstewart): allow to hand extra
:localsto the partial - updated documentation
- fix: make sure that cocoon still works for rails 3.0, where the
conditionsis not available yet
-
merged pull request #33 (@fl00r): added the a custom partial option! genius :) Also the creation of the nested objects takes any available conditions into account. Now you can write
= link_to_add_association 'add something', f, :tasks, {}, :partial => 'shared/task_fields'
- added
data-association-insertion-methodthat gives more control over where to insert the new nested fields. It takes a jquery method as parameter that inserts the new data.before,after,append,prepend, etc. Default:before. data-association-insertion-positionis still available and acts as an alias. Probably this will be deprecated in the future.

When playing with
simple_formandtwitter-bootstrap, I noticed it is crucial that I call the correct nested-fields function. That is:fields_forfor standard forms,semantic_fields_forin formtastic andsimple_fields_forfor simple_form. Secondly, this was not enough, I needed to be able to hand down options to that method. So in thelink_to_add_associationmethod you can now an extra option:render_optionsand that hash will be handed to the association-builder.This allows the nested fields to be built correctly with
simple_formfortwitter-bootstrap.
-
A while ago we added the option to add a javascript callback on inserting a new associated object, I now made sure we can add a callback on insertion and on removal of a new item. One example where this was useful for me is visible in the demo project
cocoon_simple_form_demowhere I implemented abelongs_torelation, and either select from a list, or add a new element. So: the callback-mechanism has changed, and now the callback is bound to the parent container, instead of the link itself. This is because we can also bind the removal callback there (as the removal link is inserted in the html dynamically).For more info, see the
README.
- using "this" in
association-insertion-nodeis now possible
If you are using rails < 3.1, you should run
rails g cocoon:install
to install the new cocoon.js to your public/javascripts folder.
- Fuck! Built the gem with 1.9.2 again. Built the gem again with 1.8.7.
- is now rails 3.1 compatible. If you are not using Rails 3.1 yet, this should have no effect.
For rails 3.1 the cocoon.js no longer needs to be installed using the
rails g cocoon:install. It is automatically used from the gem.
- Loosened the gem dependencies.
Apparently, the gem 1.0.6 which was generated with ruby 1.9.2 gave the following error upon install:
uninitialized constant Psych::Syck (NameError)
This is related to this bug: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=126&atid=575&func=detail&aid=29163
This should be fixed in the next release of rubygems, the fix should be to build the gem with ruby 1.8.7. Let's hope this works.
- The javascript has been improved to consistently use
e.preventDefaultinstead of returning false.
Run
rails g cocoon:install
to copy the new cocoon.js to your public/javascripts folder.
- This release make sure that the
link_to_add_associationgenerates a correctly clickable link in the newer rails 3 versions as well. In rails 3.0.8. the html was double escaped.
If you are upgrading from 1.0.4, you just have to update the gem. No other actions needed. If you are updating from earlier versions, it is safer to do
rails g cocoon:install
This will copy the new cocoon.js files to your public/javascripts folder.
