Update multiple records rails

I recently had a requirement to create a single form with data from more than one record. This is a simple request, but I had never done it before in Rails. After experimenting for a while and reading quite a few forum posts and StackOverflow answers I came up with a working solution. Hopefully this will save someone a little time in the future. Each user will have a first name, last name, and e-mail address.

Next, add the new routes for editing all users. I tried to stick to the RESTful convention with these. The only thing it needs to do is get all users. The interesting part of this code starts around line 9. As expected, we iterate over the users with users. The next line tells Rails to name the fields for each user with array notation.

The key for each of these hashes will be the user id. We iterate over each key in params['user'] , then find and update the user associated with that id. I am leaving error checking as an exercise for the reader…. Hey, great article. Viewed 40k times. What I've found so far is something like Model.
