I am trying to delay the ajax success for 1 second in rails ajax . Can anyone suggest me how can i do this in general jquery ajax it is possible but when it comes to using rails ajax I am unable to find away to edit ajax response time . I have the following code for my rails ajax below .
$(".feed-like-<%= #feed.id %>").html("<%= j render :partial => 'shared/dislike' %>");
$(".count-<%= #feed.id %>").html('<%= #feed_like_counter.like_count %> ');
How can I add this kind of query :
// set your delay here, 2 seconds as an example...
var my_delay = 2000;
// call your ajax function when the document is ready...
$(function() {
callAjax();
});
// function that processes your ajax calls...
function callAjax() {
$.ajax({
// ajax parameters here...
// ...
success: function() {
setTimeout(callAjax, my_delay);
}
});
}
For this particular problem you can use the rails method disable_with you can use in your code like this :
<%= link_to "like",{ :action => 'create', :controller => 'feed_likes', :feed_id => #feed, :user_id => current_user.id, :remote => true },data: { disable_with: "Processsing..." }, method: :post,class: "btn btn-primary" %>

I want to send some data from view to controller in rails through ajax.
I have the following code in
app/view/static/home.html.erb
<script type="text/javascript">
var dummy = "testtext";
$('#finish').click(function() {
$.ajax( {
url: '/finish',
type: 'POST',
data: dummy,
dataType: 'text'
});
});
</script>
<body>
<%= button_to "Finish", {:action => 'finish', :controller => 'static'}, :method => :post, id => 'finish' %>
</body>
in
app/view/static/finish.html.erb
<p><%= #data %></p>
app/controller/static_controller.rb
def finish
#data = params[:data]
end
in routes.rb
post 'finish' => 'static#finish'
My understanding is that on button click the ajax script will be executed and rails action will store the data passed from view. This doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if my understanding of the flow is right.
Because you are calling params[:data] in the controller, you need to specify that {data: dummy} in the AJAX data section
<script type="text/javascript">
var dummy = "testtext";
$('#finish').click(function() {
$.ajax( {
url: '/finish',
type: 'POST',
data: {data: dummy},
dataType: 'text'
});
});
</script>
Also you might want to respond to your AJAX call in your controller using the following
def finish
#data = params[:data]
respond_to do |format|
format.json { insert_your_code_here }
end
end
The object Task contains a boolean field done. How to Ajax refresh the page after the change of status? And instead true - false display value complete - incomplete?
routes.rb:
resources :tasks do
member do
post 'done'
end
end
Controller:
def done
#task = Task.find(params[:id])
#task.update_attributes(:done => params[:done])
respond_to do |format|
format.js {}
end
end
View:
....
<td><%= task.done %></td>
<td><%= check_box_tag 'done', task.id , task.done, :class => "task-check", remote: true %></td>
....
<script>
$(".task-check").bind('change', function(){
$.ajax({
url: '/tasks/'+this.value+'/done',
type: 'POST',
data: {"done": this.checked},
});
});
</script>
Update
edited script
<script>
$(".task-check").bind('change', function(){
$.ajax({
url: '/tasks/'+this.value+'/done',
type: 'POST',
data: {"done": this.checked},
}).done(function(ajax_response){
location.reload();
});
});
</script>
and controller
def done
#task = Task.find(params[:id]) # make sure you have this
#task.update_attributes(:done => params["done"])
render :json => { data: "Success", is_done: params[:done] }
end
How to update page content without having to reboot ?
Controller:
def done
#task = Task.find(params[:id]) # make sure you have this
#task.update_attributes(:done => params["done"])
render :json => { data: "Success", is_done: params[:done] }
end
View:
....
<td><%= task.done %></td>
<td><%= check_box_tag 'done', task.id , task.done, :class => "task-check" %></td>
....
<script>
$(".task-check").on('change', function(e){
// removed remote-true. you can preventDefault if you need to but doubt page tries to refresh from a checkbox getting checked. e.preventDefault() if you need it
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/tasks/done',
type: 'POST',
data: {done: $('.task-check').val()},
}).done(function(ajax_response){
// update whatever you want after it completes
});
});
</script>
Didn't test this but I write these all the time. Let me know if it doesn't work post the payload and I'll figure out what's missing.
If you just want to update the value from 'incomplete' to 'complete', you can simply target the element that's called incomplete. if it has a class of, say, 'task-status' you can target that element and update in the .done part of the function. For instance:
$('.task-status').text('Complete')
should replace what previously said incomplete. If it's a text input you might use .val() instead. If it's just text on the page .text() should work.
i have been uploading file with rails with rest-client, but when i change that into ajax,
gives some server error.
FORM code
<%= form_tag({:controller => 'person',:action => 'create'},:multipart => true) do
%>
<%= file_field_tag 'upload', :class => 'upload_name' %>
<%= submit_tag "Upload", :class => "photo_up btn btn-success" %>
<%end%>
AJAX code
$(function(){
$(".photo_up").click(function(){
var filename = $(".upload_name").val();
$.ajax({
url: '/create', //your server side script
data: { upload: filename}, //our data
type: 'POST',
success: function (response) {
}
});
return false;
});
});
CONTROLLER code
file_param = params[:upload]
puts "name os #{file_param}"
show_url = "............."
resource = RestClient::Resource.new show_url, :user => "admin",:password => "admin"
response = resource.post :file => file_param, :multipart => true
Here when i run this code, got the serve error
RestClient::InternalServerError (500 Internal Server Error):, and i know that the server shows the null pointer, in the controller it gives the error in this line response = resource.post :file => file_param, :multipart => true. But its run when in the normal form without ajax.
Unfortunately there is no easy and universal way to send multipart forms via ajax
Look into jQuery ajaxForm plugin.
This makes this thing easy.

On my index page for my Task model, I want to show a checkbox for every row that corresponds to the boolean field "complete" in my Task database table.
Currently my code gets into the method "Complete", but it does not contain the value of the checkbox that the user just did (i.e. if they just checked the box, it does not pass true to my "Complete" method).
How can i pass the value that the user just performed - either checked or un checked?
/views/tasks/index.html.erb
<% #tasks.each_with_index do |task, i| %>
<tr>
<td><%= check_box_tag 'Complete', task.complete, task.complete, :data => {:remote => true, :url => url_for( :action => 'complete', :id => task.id, :complete => task.complete ), :method => :put}, :class => 'input-large' %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
/controllers/tasks_controller#complete
# PUT /complete/1
def complete
#task = Task.find(params[:id])
p "inside complete"
p "complete = #{params[:complete]}"
#task.complete =
if #task.update_attributes(params[:task])
p "inside update"
render :text => "success"
else
p "inside error"
end
end
The suggestion from this issue in rails/jquery-ujs github repo worked for me: https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/issues/440#issuecomment-197029277
For you it would be:
<%= check_box_tag 'complete', '1', task.complete, {
onchange: "$(this).data('params', 'complete=' + this.checked)",
data: { url: url_for(action: 'complete', id: task.id,), remote: true, method: :patch },
} %>
If you are using jQuery, you can write a click event.
$('.input-large').click(function() {
var checked;
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
checked = true;
} else {
checked = false;
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/tasks/complete",
data: { id: $(this).data('post-id'), checked: checked }
});
});
As of Rails 4, you should be able to ditch all the JS from the original answer. The code in your question should just work due to jQuery UJS magic.
It turns out that adding remote: true to an input causes jquery-ujs to make it ajax-y in all the nice ways. Thoughtbot's "A Tour of Rails jQuery UJS" briefly touches this (and many other good things available); the "Unobtrusive scripting support for jQuery" page in the jQuery UJS wiki does a thorough job on this as well.
check_box_tag 'complete', task.complete ? 'false' : 'true', task.complete, ...
:url => url_for( :action => 'complete', :id => task.id )
This way in your controller you can get params[:complete].
And you should implement complete.js.erb to rerender checkbox, so next click will send inverse value
Or you can implement js on click event
$('.input-large').on('click', function() {
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
url: "/tasks/complete/" + $(this).data('post-id')
data: { complete: $(this).is(':checked') }
});
});
and don't forget to place data-post-id param to your checkbox
I have a page on my site that lets users respond to invites by either accepting or declining them.
Their response is stored in the database as the boolean 'accepted', and is used to apply the classes 'selected' or 'not_selected' (selected makes the text orange) to the 'attending' div or the 'not attending' div.
<% #going, #not_going = invite.accepted ? ['selected','not_selected'] : ['not_selected','selected'] %>
<%= link_to(outing_invite_accept_path( { :outing_id => invite.outing_id, :invite_id => invite.user_id } )) do %>
<div class="attending_div <%= #going %>">
attending
</div>
<%end %>
<%= link_to(outing_invite_decline_path( { :outing_id => invite.outing_id, :invite_id => invite.user_id } )) do %>
<div class="attending_div <%= #not_going %>">
not attending</div>
</div>
<% end %>
When either div is clicked, it's diverted to the appropriate controller actions:
def invite_accept
#outing = Outing.find(params[:outing_id])
#invite = OutingGuest.find_by_outing_id_and_user_id(params[:outing_id], params[:invite_id])
#invite.update_attribute(:accepted, true)
redirect_to({:action => "index"})
end
def invite_decline
#outing = Outing.find(params[:outing_id])
#invite = OutingGuest.find_by_outing_id_and_user_id(params[:outing_id], params[:invite_id])
#invite.update_attribute(:accepted, false)
redirect_to({:action => "index"})
end
And as right now, this code works just fine. But it requires the index page be refreshed for it to take effect.
I know it's possible to update the page without a refresh using a jQuery ajax call attached to a listener on the appropriate div, but I have no idea what such a call would look like, or where to start, really...
You want to use rail's link_to :remote => true.
See http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to
For dealing with callbacks you can bind to certain events that will trigger. For example:
<%= link_to "Click Me!", some_path, :class => 'ajax', :remote => true %>
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$("a.ajax")
.bind("ajax:loading", console.log('loading'))
.bind("ajax:complete", console.log('complete'))
.bind("ajax:success", function(event, data, status, xhr) {
console.log(data);
})
.bind("ajax:failure", function(xhr, status, error) {
console.log(error);
});
});
</script>
