NoMethodError in PostsController#create "creating nested form multi tables"

Question

I have a nested form with post and place. I want to get both data entries into the database upon submit. I have a foreign key in the place table called post_id. How would i keep them related on submit like the foreign key of post will give the post id and everything will be submitted post and place?? Thank you!!!

Post controller:

class PostsController < ApplicationController

before_action :authenticate_user!, :except => [:show, :index, :new]

before_action :set_post, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

before_action :owned_post, only: [:edit, :update, :destroy]  

  def index
    @post = Post.new
    @posts = Post.all
  end

  def show

    @post = Post.find(params[:id])
  end

  def new

    @post = current_user.posts.new
    @post.places = Place.new


  end

  def create

    @post = current_user.posts.create(post_params)



    if @post.save
      flash[:success] = "Your post has been created!"
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      flash[:alert] = "Your new post couldn't be created!  Please check the form."
      render :new
    end
  end

  def find
    @place = Place.new
  end

  def edit
    @place = @post.place;
  end

  def update
     if @post.update(post_params)
      flash[:success] = "Post updated."
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      flash.now[:alert] = "Update failed.  Please check the form."
      render :edit
    end
  end

  def destroy
    @post.destroy

    flash[:success] = "Your Post has been removed."
    redirect_to root_path
  end

  private



  def post_params
    params.require(:post).permit(:place_id, :image, :caption, :places_attributes => [:id, :post_id, :city, :country, :address, :streetnumber, :street, :state])

  end

  def place_params
    params.require(:place).permit(:country, :city)
  end




  def set_post
    @post = Post.find(params[:id])
  end

  def owned_post  
  unless current_user == @post.user
    flash[:alert] = "That post doesn't belong to you!"
    redirect_to root_path
  end
end  

end

Thank you!!

Answer 1

In your PostController new method add

 @post = current_user.posts.new
 @places = @post.places.build

And in you Post model add

accepts_nested_attributes_for :places
