I have a model for users and a model for lists and a model for the
items.
I have a one-to-one relationship with the user and the list so only
one list may be created.
I’m having problems when I try to create the list at the same time I
create the user so they are related by the foreign key on the list.
How would I go about doing this.
right now I’m trying
def new
@user = User.new
@user.list.build
end
But I get an error message saying that list is nil. I know the
problem must be with passing the user_id to the list model, but I have
no idea how to do this.

Try @user.build_list.
If a user could have many lists, you’d use @user.lists.build.

Thanks Jeremy. I ended up using your solution in the create method
after initializing the object in the new method.
def new
@user = User.new
@list = List.new
end
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.build_list
end
