Multi model sign up with clearance in Rails 4 - ruby

Question

So I want to create a Company while signing up as a new user to my application. I use https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance for authentication.
I have these 2 migrations:
class CreateCompanies < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :companies do |t|
t.string :name, null: false
t.string :email, null: false
t.attachment :logo
t.timestamps null: false
end
end
end
And
class CreateClearanceUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :users do |t|
t.string :email, null: false
t.string :encrypted_password, limit: 128, null: false
t.string :confirmation_token, limit: 128
t.string :remember_token, limit: 128, null: false
t.string :first_name
t.string :last_name
t.attachment :avatar
t.integer :company_id
t.timestamps null: false
end
add_index :users, :email, unique: true
add_index :users, :remember_token
end
end
My models look like this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include Clearance::User
belongs_to :company
end
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :users
accepts_nested_attributes_for :users
end
This is my altered Clearance controller:
class Clearance::UsersController < ApplicationController
before_filter :redirect_signed_in_users, only: [:create, :new]
skip_before_filter :require_login, only: [:create, :new]
skip_before_filter :authorize, only: [:create, :new]
def new
#user = User.new
#user.build_company
render template: "users/new"
end
def create
#user = User.new(user_params)
if #user.save
sign_in #user
redirect_back_or url_after_create
else
render template: "users/new"
end
end
private
def avoid_sign_in
warn "[DEPRECATION] Clearance's `avoid_sign_in` before_filter is " +
"deprecated. Use `redirect_signed_in_users` instead. " +
"Be sure to update any instances of `skip_before_filter :avoid_sign_in`" +
" or `skip_before_action :avoid_sign_in` as well"
redirect_signed_in_users
end
def redirect_signed_in_users
if signed_in?
redirect_to Clearance.configuration.redirect_url
end
end
def url_after_create
Clearance.configuration.redirect_url
end
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password, companies_attributes: [:id, :name])
end
end
And at last my form:
<div class="form-item">
<%= form.label :first_name %>
<%= form.text_field :first_name, type: "text" %>
</div>
<div class="form-item">
<%= form.label :last_name %>
<%= form.text_field :last_name, type: "text" %>
</div>
<div class="form-item">
<%= form.label :email %>
<%= form.text_field :email, type: "email" %>
</div>
<div class="form-item">
<%= form.fields_for :companies do |builder| %>
<label>Company</label>
<%= builder.text_field :name, type: "text" %>
<%end%>
</div>
<div class="form-item">
<%= form.label :password %>
<%= form.password_field :password %>
</div>
I can perfectly submit my form, but my company_id is nil when finding the user object in rails console.
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

You need to use the singular:
= form.fields_for :company
and in your controller:
company_attributes # instead of companies_attributes
and you have one thing in the wrong model! You want to save a company with the user so you need to move accepts_nested_attributes_for to user.rb
accepts_nested_attributes_for :company
