render_wizard callback about wicked HOT 3 OPEN

@RobertAudi I had the same question today. We are solving the issue right now by doing the update first, performing our business logic and then calling render_wizard. However, this is not exactly ideal since it is saving the record twice. It does seem like it would be nice to have callbacks at least for the success case when calling render_wizard.

I'm running into the same issue trying to render a flash based on whether or not the update was successful. The sample code from the README is also calling @user.update followed by render_wizard which then executes a redundant save. This means that validations will always be called twice on each step, which I'd really like to avoid if possible.

I've come up with the following solution. In the event of an error, you can call render_step to re-render the current step (e.g. with your errors displayed to the user) and skip the extra save call.

def update
  @model.update(model_params)

  if @model.errors.any?
    # TODO: Your business logic goes here

    render_step(step)
  else
    render_wizard(@model)
  end
end
