Send multiple invitation using devise-invitable gem in rails - ruby-on-rails

Question

I want to send multiple invitations at a time using devise-invitable gem.
new.html.erb
<h2>
<%= t "devise.invitations.new.header" %>
</h2>
<%= form_for resource, :as => resource_name, :url => invitation_path(resource_name), :html => {:method => :post} do |f| %>
<%= devise_error_messages! %>
<div>
<% resource.class.invite_key_fields.each do |field| -%>
<p><%= f.label field %><br />
<%= f.email_field field, placeholder: "Invitation email" %></p>
<% end -%>
<%= f.collection_select(:role_id, Role.all, :id, :role_name, :prompt => true) %>
</div>
<p>
<%= f.submit t("devise.invitations.new.submit_button") %>
</p>
<% end %>
my controller:-
class Users::InvitationsController < Devise::InvitationsController
def create
exit
if params[:user][:email]== "" || params[:user][:role_id] == ""
flash[:alert]="Please enter email first and Select any role for invitees"
redirect_to new_user_invitation_path
else
if User.invite!(:email => params[:user][:email], :company_id => current_user.id, :type => 'Employee', :role_id => params[:user][:role_id])
flash[:notice]="Invitation is send successfully."
redirect_to new_user_invitation_path
else
flash[:alert]="Invitation is not send."
redirect_to new_user_invitation_path
end
end
end
end
I think one solution is to pass comma separated emails in invite method but how can I pass it? I really don't know how.
If you have any other solution then please tell me.
Thanks.

Answer 1

i trouble with this problem but finally i got solution to send multiple invitation email at a time.
below i explain my code that how i become possible this.
here is my html view.
new.html.erb
<h2>
<%= t "devise.invitations.new.header" %>
</h2>
<%= form_for resource, :as => resource_name, :url => invitation_path(resource_name), :html => {:method => :post} do |f| %>
<%= devise_error_messages! %>
<div>
<% resource.class.invite_key_fields.each do |field| -%>
<%= f.label field %><br />
<%= f.email_field field, name: "user[email][]", placeholder: "Invitation email", required: true %></p>
<div id="createNewTextbox" >
</div>
<a id="btnLinkCreate" href="#" onClick="create_new();">
+ INVITE MORE
</a>
<% end -%>
</div>
<p>
<%= f.submit t("devise.invitations.new.submit_button") %>
</p>
<% end %>
in this i take one text-box by-default with name : "user[email][]" (it is important because using this rails automatically create email array and send in params whene you submit form )
i also generate dynamic text-box using JavaScript and it will create below div when click on invite more link button :
<div id="createNewTextbox" >
</div>
<a id="btnLinkCreate" href="#" onClick="create_new();">
+ INVITE MORE
</a>
here is my dynamic text-box code of JavaScript.
$('#createNewTextbox').append('<input type="email" id="email'+i+'" name="user[email][]" placeholder="Invitation email" required/>');
now you can see that i give same name to dynamic text-box (name="user[email][]"), so rails automatically create hash array like this:
"user" => { "email" => { "email-1","email-2","email-3"... } }
now this hash array is pass in create method in which we fetch every email from params and give it to invite method to send the invitation.
my controller :-
class Users::InvitationsController < Devise::InvitationsController
def create
params[:user][:email].each do |email|
User.invite!(:email => email)
end
end
end
thats it...
if still you have any query then tell comment me.
