Rails each do method is acting strangely and I do not know why.
controller
def index
#fabric_guides = FabricGuide.with_attached_image.all.order(:name)
end
index.html.erb
<div class="guide-items">
<%= #fabric_guides.each do |fabric| %>
<div class="guide-container">
<%= link_to fabric_guide_path(slug: fabric.slug) do %>
<%= image_tag fabric.image if fabric.image.attached? %>
<% end %>
<div class="guide-info">
<p class="g-name">
<%= link_to fabric.name,
fabric_guide_path(slug: fabric.slug) %>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
I have two FabricGuide records so I expect two "guide-container" but I get three. Or more precisely I get two guide containers and a third block of text containing all the content from the last FabricGuide record.
I have almost an identical setup for articles and have never encountered this problem. I'd happily share more information if needed. Thank you!
Please remove = equal sign from your each loop of view code
like below :-
<% #fabric_guides.each do |fabric| %>
...
...
<% end %>
you have used this <%= #fabric_guides.each do |fabric| %> in your view that's why it shows all record in DOM.
The expression for erb tags is <% %>
now if we want to print that tag too then we apply <%= %>

I'm having trouble with attempting to render a partial within a loop. Essentially, I have an app where events are created, people join the event, and for each event, attendees have a list of items they will bring which they can select from their own inventory of items.
In my show.html.erb for Events:
<% #event.attendees.each do |user| %>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h4><%= user.first_name %> <%= user.last_name %></h4>
<% if user.event_items.any? %>
<div class="event-item-list">
<% user.event_items.each do |eventitem| %>
<div class="event-item-div" >
<p class="event-item-title"><%= eventitem.item.title %></p>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
</div>
<% if user == current_user %>
<%= render 'event_items/form' %>
<% end %>
</div>
<% end %>
This works and shows the title of each event item that is added to the list.
However, if I want to move the content of the P tag to a partial, I get "undefined local variable or method `eventitem'". Which doesn't make sense to me since I would assume that whatever is passed in as a partial in that loop would be treated the same as if I just left that P tag content in there. At this point, all I have in the partial would be:
<p class="event-item-title><%= eventitem.item.title %><p>
Any insight would be appreciated.
Partials don't inherit local variables automagically, you have to define them. According to Rails Guides to pass local variables to a partial you need to set them in the locals hash
<%= render 'event_items/form', locals: {eventitem: eventitem} %>
I am trying to create a todo app that will allow the user to create lists and then "todo" items under each list. However, I want each user to only be able to see his or her lists. While I've been able to partially solve it using the current_user helper, the index page shows empty space where the other users lists are hidden.
Below please find the code for the index.html.erb page inside my todo_lists views.
<% #todo_lists.each do |todo_list| %>
<div class="index_row clearfix">
<% if todo_list.user == current_user %>
<h2 class="todo_list_title"><%= link_to todo_list.title, todo_list %></h2>
<p class="todo_list_sub_title"><%= todo_list.description %></p>
<p><%= todo_list.user.first_name %></p>
<% end %>
</div>
<% end %>
<div class="links">
<%= link_to "New Todo List", new_todo_list_path %>
</div>
Here's my repo on Github, in case you need to see more of the code: https://github.com/jramoscolon/todo
Is there a way to hide these empty spaces, as well as the non-matching todo items?
Given your current view code, you are indiscriminately emitting <div class="index_row clearfix"> elements, even when the todo_list.user does not match the current_user. Simply move the whole<div> outside the current_user check, like so:
<% #todo_lists.each do |todo_list| %>
<% if todo_list.user == current_user %>
<div class="index_row clearfix">
<h2 class="todo_list_title"><%= link_to todo_list.title, todo_list %></h2>
<p class="todo_list_sub_title"><%= todo_list.description %></p>
<p><%= todo_list.user.first_name %></p>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
This way, all of those empty <div> elements aren't included on the page. This should clean up all that empty space.
If your index view is user specific than the instance variable you want should be user specific as well.
Instead of #todo_lists = ToDoList.all
Use the current_user.todo_lists functionality supplied by your has_many/belongs to
I'm having trouble trying to figure out when I reached the end of my query. So what I want to do is list all the records in my database that begin with the letter A which I got however I want to output a message if the query turns out blank. When I try I get a bunch of my custom messages even the query didn't turn out blank. Is there any way to tell if I've reached EOF in ruby on rails?
Sample
<div id = "content-A">
<p>A</p>
<% #animes.each do |anime| %>
<% if anime.aname.starts_with?('A') %>
<%= link_to anime.aname, {:action => 'list'} %>
<% else %>
<p>No anime listed in this Category :( </p>
<%end%>
<%end %>
</div>
I believe you want sth like:
<% animes_group = #animes.group_by {|anime| anime.aname.to_s[0].upcase}
('A'..'Z').each do |letter| %>
<div id="content-<%= letter %>">
<p><%= letter %></p>
<% if animes = animes_group[letter] %>
<% animes.each do |anime| %>
<%= link_to anime.aname, {:action => 'list'} %>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<p>No anime listed in this Category :( </p>
<%end%>
<% end %>
You should consider moving some of the logic to the controller here, however what is to be moved depends on many factors like whether #animes are being used anywhere else etc.
How would one go about turning the following code into the latter?
<div id="faqs">
<% if #faqs.length > 0 %>
<% #faqs.each do |faq| %>
<div class="faq">
<strong>Q:</strong> <%= faq.question %>
<br />
<strong>A:</strong> <%= faq.answer %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<p>No FAQs to display.</p>
<% end %>
</div>
<div id="faqs">
<% #faqs.empty? ? content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") : #faqs.each do |faq| %>
<div class="faq">
<strong>Q:</strong> <%= faq.question %>
<br />
<strong>A:</strong> <%= faq.answer %>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
I'm curious as to whether I can get the latter code to work. The only element of it that is failing at the moment is that the content_tag() is not displaying - this is due to the fact that I'm not using printable ruby tags (<%= # %>) but using them will dump out the FAQ objects underneath the content.
I considered the use of puts() to print the content_tag() while inside the ruby tags but that didn't work.
I've tried to search for this issue but haven't yielded anything useful.
Is this achievable and if so, does it have any benefits other than being prettier?
One way to make the later code to work if you can put the body of the loop in a helper function and return the out put of content_tag from that. The line in view file might be somewhat like this.
<%= #faqs.empty? ? content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") : printList(#faqs) %>
and your printList function will return the output of nested content_tags. You can make a generic list printing function which can be used for any list.
Something so obvious but still shared.
This should work (for clarity, I moved FAQ tag generation in separate helper method):
<div id="faqs">
<%= raw (#faqs.empty? ? content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") : #faqs.map { |faq| faq_div(faq) }.join) %>
</div>
or, perhaps more clean:
<div id="faqs">
<%= content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") if #faqs.empty? %>
<%= raw #faqs.map { |faq| faq_div(faq) }.join %>
</div>
meanwhile, in helpers:
def faq_div(faq)
'<div class="faq"><strong>Q:</strong> %s<br /><strong>A:</strong> %s</div>' % [faq.question, faq.answer]
end
This should work:
<% if #faqs.each do |faq| %>
<div class="faq">
<strong>Q:</strong> <%= faq.question %>
<br />
<strong>A:</strong> <%= faq.answer %>
</div>
<% end.empty? %>
<p>No FAQs to display.</p>
<% end %>
How do I wrap a link around view code? I can't figure out how to pass multiple lines with ruby code to a single link_to method. The result I am looking for is that you click the column and get the show page:
<div class="subcolumns">
<div class="c25l">
<div class="subcl">
<%= image_tag album.photo.media.url(:thumb), :class => "image" rescue nil %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="c75r">
<div class="subcr">
<p><%= album.created_at %></p>
<%= link_to h(album.title), album %>
<p><%= album.created_at %></p>
<p><%= album.photo_count %></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
link_to takes a block of code ( >= Rails 2.2) which it will use as the body of the tag.
So, you do
<%= link_to(#album) do %>
html-code-here
<% end %>
But I'm quite sure that to nest a div inside a a tag is not valid HTML.
EDIT: Added = character per Amin Ariana's comment below.
Also, this may be an issue for some:
Make sure to write <%= if you are doing a simple link with code in it instead of <%.
e.g.
<%= link_to 'some_controller_name/some_get_request' do %>
Hello World
<% end %>
For older Rails versions, you can use
<% content_tag(:a, :href => foo_path) do %>
<span>Foo</span>
<% end %>
You can use link_to with a block:
<% link_to(#album) do %>
<!-- insert html etc here -->
<% end %>
A bit of a lag on this reply I know -- but I was directed here today, and didn't find a good answer. The following should work:
<% link_to raw(html here), #album %>
