Rails contact form `undefined method` - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm trying to build a contact form in Rails without storing the mails in my database. But I'm getting an undefined method 'name' for nil:NilClass error when I send the form.
My MessagesController
def create
#message = Message.new(message_params)
if #message.valid?
# TODO send message here
Messages.new_messages_email(#mailer).deliver
redirect_to root_url, notice: "Message sent! Thank you for contacting us."
else
redirect_to root_url, notice: "Something went wrong, try again!"
end
end
private
def message_params
params.require(:message).permit(
:name,
:message,
:email
)
end
My Messages model
class Message
include ActiveModel::Validations
include ActiveModel::Conversion
extend ActiveModel::Naming
attr_accessor :name, :email, :message
validates_presence_of :name
validates :email, :email_format => {:message => 'is not looking good'}
validates_length_of :message, :maximum => 500
def initialize(attributes = {})
attributes.each do |name, value|
send("#{name}=", value)
end
end
def persisted?
false
end
end
The email body
!!!
%html
%body
%p
= #mailer.name
Schreef het volgende:
%p= #mailer.message
%p= #mailer.email
And in my routes I have
resources :messages
I forgot to post my Messages mailer
class Messages < ActionMailer::Base
default from: "info#domein.nl"
def new_messages_email(mailer)
#mailer = mailer
mail(to: 'peter#no-illusions.nl',
subject: 'Iemand wilt contact met U')
end
end
For completion my form,
= form_for #message do |f|
.field
%br/
= f.text_field :name, :placeholder => "Naam"
.field
%br/
= f.text_field :email, :placeholder => "Emailadres"
.field
%br/
= f.text_area :message, :rows => 5, :placeholder => "Uw bericht"
.actions= f.submit "Verstuur bericht", :id => "submit"
In my MessagesController I define the paramaters for the create function, but there's something I'm doing wrong, forgetting or overlooking which causes the error.

Answer 1

In your controller should be probably:
Messages.new_messages_email(#message).deliver # not #mailer
Besides that, you have to reinitialize #message within your mailer, e.g:
class Messages < ActionMailer::Base
def new_messages_email(msg)
#message = msg
end
end
