pass variables between two controllers - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have two controllers: tasks, tasksperson.
I have views/tasks/index.html.erb:
<table>
<% #tasks.group_by(&:name).each do |name, tasks| %>
<tr>
<td><%= name %></td>
<td><%= tasks.size %></td>
<td><%= tasks.select{ |task| task.done != true }.size %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>
I want to create a link in views/tasks/index.html to views/tasksperson/index.html.erb.I want also to send the name into 'index' in Tasksperson_controller.. I tried to do this by getting params[:name] but I think it's wrong
maybe, I need to do something like:
<td><%= link_to 'Show Tasks', tasksperson_path(name) %></td>
this is my tasksperson_controller:
class TaskspersonController < ApplicationController
def index
#tasks = Task.where(:name => params[:name]) respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: #tasks }
end
end
end
and views/tasksperson/index.html.erb:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>num of tasks</th>
<th>num tasks left</th>
<th>test</th>
</tr>
<% #tasks.each do |f| %>
<tr>
<td><%= f.name %></td>
<td><%= f.task %></td>
<td><%= f.done %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</table>

Answer 1

You need to add :name as a parameter to the rule that defines the route to TaskspersonController#index in routes.rb
so it would be something like this:
match 'tasksperson/index/:name' => 'tasksperson#index', as: :tasksperson_path

Based on your comment "...so Task have many taskpersons" I think you want a data model similar to below
class Task < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :assigned_tasks
has_many :people, :through => :assigned_tasks
end
# maybe this is just the User class?
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :assigned_tasks
has_many :tasks, :through => :assigned_tasks
end
# was TaskPerson
class AssignedTask < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :task
belongs_to :person
end
See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html#the-has_many-through-association for information about "The has_many :through Association"
task = Task.create(:title => "Go up the hill")
jack = Person.find(00000)
jill = Person.find(00000)
task.people << jack
task.people << jill
task.assigned_tasks.each do |join|
puts join.created_at
puts join.person.name
# 0 - jack
# 1 - jill
end
task.people.each do |person|
puts person.name
end
I am not exactly sure what you are trying to display in your views, it looks like you are grouping by a task name attribute in task/index, is that the Persons name?
