Partial view not getting updated on click of button ruby rails - ruby-on-rails

Question

From file soul.html.erb , partial view called at the time of page load
<%= render 'contact_options_soul_d' %>
In file contact_options_soul_d.html.erb partial view looks like this -
<div id="contact-option">
<div id= 'un-authenticated' data-access-api-result = <%= #valid_ticket %> %></div>
</div>
On click of a button a Rest call happens in controller and partial view is called from partial_create.js.erb
def partial_create
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
return
end
File partial_create.js.erb
$('#contact-option').html('<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'rhythm/contact_options_soul_d') %>')
My Question is - partial view is called , breakpoint hits and new value of #valid_ticket also gets updated, but view is not getting updated as webpage still looks same even after updation.(View remains same when checked in browser inspect)
Please help!!!

Answer 1

This is not an answer to exactly the way you're doing it, but you could always render it in the controller and return that on "respond_to", then on Ajax success use the returned value to substitute the html:
def partial_create
html = (render_to_string partial: 'rhythm/contact_options_soul_d', locals: { if_you_need: variables_in_partial })
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: { new_html: html, success: true } }
end
return
end
then on your JS code (this with jQuery):
function soul_searching(parameters) {
$.ajax({
url: "YOUR/POST/ROUTE",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
any_parameters: 'you_need_to_pass_to_controller'
},
success: function(data) {
$('#contact-option').html(data['new_html']);
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
//DO SOMETHING
}
});
}

You need to prepend partials with an underscore. For example:
_contact_options_soul_d.html.erb
Note: You only need to do this to the file name. You can still call the partial with
<%= render partial: 'contact_options_soul_d.html.erb' %>
Also make sure you're referencing the path if the partial is in a separate folder.
