### The Controller
You do not need to write any specific controller code to use nested attributes. Create and update records as you would with a simple form.
As usual you need to
[whitelist the parameters](action_controller_overview.html#strong-parameters) in
the controller before you pass them to the model:
```ruby
def create
@person = Person.new(person_params)
# ...
end
private
def person_params
params.require(:person).permit(:name, addresses_attributes: [:id, :kind, :street])
end
```
### Removing Objects

Don't forget to update the whitelisted params in your controller to also include
the `_destroy` field:
```ruby
def person_params
params.require(:person).
permit(:name, addresses_attributes: [:id, :kind, :street, :_destroy])
end
```
### Preventing Empty Records
It is often useful to ignore sets of fields that the user has not filled in. You can control this by passing a `:reject_if` proc to `accepts_nested_attributes_for`. This proc will be called with each hash of attributes submitted by the form. If the proc returns `false` then Active Record will not build an associated object for that hash. The example below only tries to build an address if the `kind` attribute is set.
