pass data from html to controller ruby on rails - html

Hi i want to send the selected object to a controller method but I dont know how. this is the select list with the vaules in it
Html------------
<%= form_tag '/wendy' do %>
<%= select_tag :'buenwendy', options_from_collection_for_select(#cursitos, 'id', 'name') %>
<%= submit_tag 'buscar', class: 'btn btn-success' %>
<% end %>
routes.rb
post 'wendy', to: 'blog#wendy
Controller------------------------------
def wendy
gg= params[:buenwendy]
flash[:success]= gg
redirect_to root_path
end

try this: after selecting course you will get can find that course at controller side and storing it in #gg variable
HTML...........
<%= form_tag( '/wendy', :method => :post ) %>
<%= select_tag :'buenwendy', options_from_collection_for_select(#cursitos, 'id', 'name') %>
<%= submit_tag 'buscar', class: 'btn btn-success' %>
<% end %>
......routes
post '/wendy', to: 'blog#wendy
controller..........
def wendy
#gg= Course.find(params[:buenwendy])
flash[:success]= #gg
redirect_to root_path
end

I solved it guys, I had to get the id of #cursitos from the SQL query
#cursitos = Course.find_by_sql("SELECT *courses.id*, courses.name FROM courses, cours_sts, students WHERE courses.id = cours_sts.course_id AND students.id = cours_sts.student_id AND students.id= 1")

How to fix extra data appearing in the ERB generated HTML

I am following ruby-on-rails instruction guide to creating a simple blog web application: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#generating-a-controller
All my project files are pretty much the same as the ones in the guide.
app/views/articles/show.html.erb
<p>
<strong>Title:</strong>
<%= #article.title %>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Text:</strong>
<%= #article.text %>
</p>
<h2>Add a comment:</h2>
<%= render 'comments/form' %>
<h2>Comments (<%= #article.comments.count %>)</h2>
<%= render 'comment_section' %>
<%#= render #article.comments %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_article_path(#article) %> |
<%= link_to 'Delete', article_path(#article),
method: :delete,
data: {confirm: 'Are you sure?'} %> |
<%= link_to 'Back', articles_path %>
app/views/comments/_form.html.erb
<%= form_with(model: [#article, #article.comments.build], local: true) do |form| %>
<p>
<%= form.label :commenter %><br>
<%= form.text_field :commenter %>
</p>
<p>
<%= form.label :body %><br>
<%= form.text_area :body %>
</p>
<p>
<%= form.submit %>
</p>
<% end %>
app/views/articles/_comment_section.html.erb
<% if #article.comments.count > 0 %>
<%= render #article.comments %>
<% else %>
<p>There are no comments yet!</p>
<% end %>
app/views/comments/_comment.html.erb
<p>
<strong>Commenter:</strong>
<%= comment.commenter %>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Comment:</strong>
<%= comment.body %>
</p>
<p>
<%= link_to 'Delete comment', [comment.article, comment],
method: :delete,
data: {confirm: 'Are you sure you want to delete this comment?'}
%>
A simple article with no comments works as expected:
However, when showing an article with some actual comments, an extra empty comment gets displayed at the end:
When I try to delete that comment I get the following error (11 in the path is the article_id):
Deleting other comments works fine.
Rest of the files that I think might be relevant:
app/config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'welcome/index'
resources :articles do
resources :comments
end

end

#article = Article.find(params[:id])
if #article.update(article_params)
redirect_to #article
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def destroy
#article = Article.find(params[:id])
#article.destroy
redirect_to articles_path
end
private
def article_params
params.require(:article).permit(:title, :text)
end
end
app/controllers/comments_controller.rb
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
def create
#article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
#comment = #article.comments.create(comment_params)
redirect_to article_path(#article)
end
def destroy
#article = Article.find(params[:article_id])
#comment = #article.comments.find(params[:id])
#comment.destroy
redirect_to article_path(#article)
end

I'm using:
ruby 2.6.5p114
Rails 6.0.0
sqlite3 3.8.7.2
RubyMine 2019.2.3
I'm developing on Windows
The reason why this is happening is this line:
<%= form_with(model: [#article, #article.comments.build], local: true) do |form| %>
The part that says #article.comments.build is building an empty comment on the article. If there are no comments on the article and you were to print out #article.comments.count it would be zero. It does this because #article.comments.count runs a query, and since the blank comment isn't saved yet, it doesn't count it against the comments count.
As a side note, #article.comments.size would return 1, since in this case it returns the size of the relation with the blank comment. This is why you don't get a blank comment when the article has no comments.
However if you were to already have a comment and print out #article.comments.count, it would be 1 because now you have a saved comment in the database. This renders your comments out on the page now. The thing is that there is a blank comment inside of the #article.comments return value. This gets printed out to the screen, and since it doesn't have an id, the route for delete gets rendered like this /article/11/comments without a comment id. This route does not exist, so you get an error.
One possible way to fix this would be to change this line in your comment_section partial from this:
<%= render #article.comments %>
to this:
<%= render #article.comments.select { |comment| comment.persisted? %>
UPDATE:
I think that arieljuod's solution is even cleaner, to change this:
<%= form_with(model: [#article, #article.comments.build], local: true) do |form| %>
To this:
<%= form_with(model: [#article, Comment.new], local: true) do |form| %>
in your views/comments/_comment.html.erb
change
<%= link_to 'Delete comment', [comment.article, comment],
method: :delete,
data: {confirm: 'Are you sure you want to delete this comment?'} %>
to
<%= link_to 'Delete comment', comment_path(comment),
method: :delete,
data: {confirm: 'Are you sure you want to delete this comment?'} %>

Param returns nil value when passing from form_for using patch method

I'm implementing a voting system where when the course is already upvoted/downvoted, clicking downvote/upvote will switch to that vote respectively and clicking again will delete that vote (similar to Reddit).
While voting and destroying vote perform correctly, I'm having trouble trying to update the vote with form_for and patch method, where the value of the vote_type returns nil
My Votes_Controller
class VotesController < ApplicationController
def create
#vote = Vote.new(secure_params)
#vote.course = Course.find(params[:course_id])
if #vote.save
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to :courses }
format.js
end
end
def update
vote = Vote.find_by(user: current_user)
vote.update_attribute(:vote_type, update_vote_params)
redirect_to :courses
end
def destroy
vote = Vote.find_by(user: current_user)
vote.destroy
redirect_to :courses, :notice => 'Unvoted!'
end
private
def secure_params
params.require(:vote).permit( :user_id, :vote_type )
end
def update_vote_params
params.require(:vote).permit(:vote_type)
end
end
My index.html.erb
<% if Vote.exists?(user: current_user) && Vote.find_by(user: current_user).vote_type.equal?(-1) %>
<%= form_for course.votes.build, url: course_vote_path(course, Vote.find_by(user: current_user).id), method: :patch do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :vote_type, value: 1 %>
<%= f.submit 'Upvote', class: 'btn btn-default' %>
<% end %>
<% elsif Vote.exists?(user: current_user) && Vote.find_by(user: current_user).vote_type.equal?(1) %>
<%= form_for course.votes.build, url: course_vote_path(course, Vote.find_by(user: current_user).id), method: :delete do |f| %>
<%= f.submit "Upvote", class: 'btn btn-default' %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<%= form_for course.votes.build, url: course_votes_path(course) do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :user_id, value: current_user.id %>
<%= f.hidden_field :vote_type, value: 1 %>
<%= f.submit 'Upvote', class: 'btn btn-default' %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
My routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'vote/create'
get 'vote/destroy'
get 'courses/new'
get 'users/new'
resources :courses do
resources :votes, only: [:create, :destroy, :update]
end
resources :users
end
I expect the param to pass 1 for vote_type, however, the actual output is nil

Missing template error in rails

new.html is a registration form ,which creates tutor account .
It involves error handling . _error_messages.html.erb is the file which handles the error ,like should be filling in all text fields .
e.g , showing :
`
The form contains 3 errors.
Name can't be blank
Password confirmation can't be blank
Password confirmation doesn't match Password
However ,when submits the form without any input in new.html ,it shows the error

When you submit the form, request sends to the create action:

if #tutor.save
# if #tutor valid save it and redirect to show action
redirect_to #tutor
else
# else render the register template(or action)
render 'register'
end
end
In the create action there is a conditional if, in the first case all is good, #tutor has been saved and Rails call redirect to show action, otherwise Rails trying to render register template which is not exists(the errors claims about it). To resolve that issue create register template with desired html code which should run if #tutor isn't saved.

passing params throught rails forms

I am using rails 4 and have a subject and comment models. Subject is a one to many relationship with comments. I want a simple page that can add comments to many subjects on the same page. So in my form I know how to submit a comment to create but I dont know how to find the right subject in my controller to add it to. Any advice?
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
def create
comment = Comment.create(comment_params)
if comment.save
# The line below is incorrect, I dont know what to do
Subject.find(params[:subject_id]).comments << comment
redirect_to(:controller => 'static_pages', action: 'home')
end
end
def new
end
private
def comment_params
params.require(:comment).permit(:text, :user_name)
end
end
StaticPages#home Find me in
app/views/static_pages/home.html.erb
<% #subjects.each do |subject| %>
<div class="subjects <%= cycle('odd', 'even') %>">
<h1><%= subject.name %></h1>
<h3><%= subject.description %></h3>
<% subject.comments.each do |comment|%>
<div class="comment">
<h4><%= comment.user_name%></h4>
<%= comment.text %>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= form_for(#comment) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :user_name %>
<%= f.text_field :user_name %>
<%= f.label :text %>
<%= f.text_field :text %>
<%= f.submit('Create comment', subject_id: subject.id) %>
<% end %>
</div>
<% end %>
The simplest way would be to populate the subject_id attribute of your #comment form, like this:
<%= form_for(#comment) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :user_name %>
<%= f.text_field :user_name %>
<%= f.label :text %>
<%= f.text_field :text %>
<%= f.hidden_field :subject_id, value: subject.id %>
<%= f.submit('Create comment', subject_id: subject.id) %>
<% end %>
This will populate the subject_id attribute of your new Comment object, which will essentially associate it through Rails' backend:
#app/controllers/your_controller.rb
Class YourController < ApplicationController
def create
#comment = Comment.new comment_params
#comment.save
end
private
def comment_params
params.require(:comment).permit(:subject_id, :text, :user_name)
end
end
--
foreign_keys
This works because of the Rails / relational database foreign_keys structure
Every time you associate two objects with Rails, or another relational database system, you basically have a database column which links the two. This is called a foreign_key, and in your case, every Comment will have the subject_id foreign_key column, associating it with the relevant subject
So you may have many different forms using the same #comment variable - the trick is to populate the foreign_key for each one

Ruby on Rails how to include a form in an index view

I've been running my head into a wall for hours now and I can't make this work. I'm trying to add a bunch of check boxes to verify items on my index page. I found this old rails cast that does exactly what I want to do, but I've run into a problem. Anything enclosed inside my form is removed from the index page, like just gone poof. Here's the code from the index view.
<% form_tag verify_products_path, :method => :put do %>
<% #products_unverified.each do |products| %>
<% if product.deleted != 'true' %>
<tr data-link="<%= product_path(product) %>">
<td><%= product.name %></td>
<td><%= product.description %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<%= submit_tag "Mark as Verified" %>
<% end %>
</tbody>
Here's the routes stuff
resources :products do
put :verify, :on => :collection
end
and the controller just has a dummy method for now.
def verify
end
Any clue as to why the index view blanks out when the form is introduced? Any help is much appreciated.
You forgot the = before form_tag:
<%= form_tag verify_products_path, :method => :put do %>
put an = in front of form_tag
instead of
<% form_tag verify_products_path, :method => :put do %>
try
<%= form_tag verify_products_path, :method => :put do %>
