click link inside li tag - ruby-on-rails

<li id="tab1">
<%= link_to_remote .... %>
</li>
I am trying to click this link using prototype like
<% javascript_tag do %>
$$('#tab1 a').click();
<% end %>
<% javascript_tag do %>
$$('#tab1 a').simulate('click');
<% end %>
but everything failed.

In Prototype there is no Element.click so that cannot work. There is an Element.simulate but it's non-standard, you have to add the event.simulate.js library yourself.
$$() returns an array so you need to get an element either like $$('#tab1 a')[0] or more safely with invoke().
$$('#tab1 a').invoke('simulate', 'click');

Strange output from rails each do

Rails each do method is acting strangely and I do not know why.
controller
def index
#fabric_guides = FabricGuide.with_attached_image.all.order(:name)
end
index.html.erb
<div class="guide-items">
<%= #fabric_guides.each do |fabric| %>
<div class="guide-container">
<%= link_to fabric_guide_path(slug: fabric.slug) do %>
<%= image_tag fabric.image if fabric.image.attached? %>
<% end %>
<div class="guide-info">
<p class="g-name">
<%= link_to fabric.name,
fabric_guide_path(slug: fabric.slug) %>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
I have two FabricGuide records so I expect two "guide-container" but I get three. Or more precisely I get two guide containers and a third block of text containing all the content from the last FabricGuide record.
I have almost an identical setup for articles and have never encountered this problem. I'd happily share more information if needed. Thank you!
Please remove = equal sign from your each loop of view code
like below :-
<% #fabric_guides.each do |fabric| %>
...
...
<% end %>
you have used this <%= #fabric_guides.each do |fabric| %> in your view that's why it shows all record in DOM.
The expression for erb tags is <% %>
now if we want to print that tag too then we apply <%= %>

Rails link_to_if not hiding links correctly

For some reason my link_to_if line works, but appears on every show view for my model (Company).
Here's the code:
<% #customers.each do |customer| %>
<li>
<%= link_to_if customer.company_id == #company.id, "#{customer.first_name} #{customer.last_name}", customer_path(customer[:id]) %>
</li>
<% end %>
The issue: I have Customer1 linked to CompanyX. When I go to CompanyZ it shows Customer1, but the link is not a hyperlink. it's just plaintext, and not even supposed to be showing up. However on CompanyX's view, the link works fine. What am I doing wrong here?
If you read the documentation of link_to_if (https://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper/link_to_if), it clearly says that [if false] only the name is returned.
In the doc you can find that the (optional) block given is rendered in the false case. So in your case you could pass it an empty block:
<%= link_to_if false, customer_path(customer[:id]) {} %>
In my opinion, if you want to display the link only if one or more customer(s) from #customers are associated to that #company, you should do it this way:
<% #customers.where(company_id: #company.id).each do |customer| %>
<li>
<%= link_to "#{customer.first_name} #{customer.last_name}", customer_path(customer[:id]) %>
</li>
<% %>
if you want to hide some records you can do from from controller to control customers based company
#customers = Company.find(:id).customers
then in your views you can just show it without to compare it
<% #customers.each do |customer| %>
<li>
<%= link_to "#{customer.first_name} #{customer.last_name}", customer_path(customer[:id]) %>
</li>
<% end %>

Render an attributes of each object - Rails

I have a view right now that renders an object on the page. The object is an Integration. On the Integration object I have attribute called filters. Filters are stored as an array. All I need to do is list out the filters of each integration below them in a list. Here is my code.
View
<% if #integrations.any? %>
<div class="configured-integrations">
<h3 class="heading-3">My Configured Integrations:</h3>
<ul class="integration-list integration-list--compact">
<%= render #integrations %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
Screenshot
In the screenshot you can see that each of those elements are integrations. I need to list the filters of each integration below the title there.
Controller
def index
# Get the list of the user's integrations grouped first by provider then
# from oldest to newest."
#integrations = current_account.integrations
.order(type: :asc, created_at: :asc)
end
I hope this is clear enough. So recap: I need to list the filters on each integration below. I've already tried stuff like this #integrations.first.filters but that wont work because it's a static call. I need something like a list. Thank you
You can add another partial to render all filters which are associated with your Integration.
Create a partial file _show_filters.html.erb in your views
<% filters.each do |filter| %>
<li><%= filter %></li>
<% end %>
And render this partial while iterating through your #integration object like this.
<% if #integrations.any? %>
<div class="configured-integrations">
<h3 class="heading-3">My Configured Integrations:</h3>
<ul class="integration-list integration-list--compact">
<% #integrations.each do |integration| %>
<li>
<%= integration %>
<ul class="">
<%= render 'show_filters', filters: integration.filters %>
</ul>
</li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
What you need to iterate through each integration, then <%= render integeration.filters %>
<% if #integrations.any? %>
<div class="configured-integrations">
<h3 class="heading-3">My Configured Integrations:</h3>
<ul class="integration-list integration-list--compact">
<% #integrations.each do |integration| %>
<li>
<%= integration %>
<ul class="">
<%= render integration.filters %>
</ul>
</li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
You will have to update this code to make the partials work, but i hope this gets the idea across.
You can't use the shortcut <%= render #integrations %> here, because you want a subgroup inside #integrations. So you'll have to do it the long way.

Can one use conditions and loops on a single line in Ruby?

How would one go about turning the following code into the latter?
<div id="faqs">
<% if #faqs.length > 0 %>
<% #faqs.each do |faq| %>
<div class="faq">
<strong>Q:</strong> <%= faq.question %>
<br />
<strong>A:</strong> <%= faq.answer %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% else %>
<p>No FAQs to display.</p>
<% end %>
</div>
<div id="faqs">
<% #faqs.empty? ? content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") : #faqs.each do |faq| %>
<div class="faq">
<strong>Q:</strong> <%= faq.question %>
<br />
<strong>A:</strong> <%= faq.answer %>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
I'm curious as to whether I can get the latter code to work. The only element of it that is failing at the moment is that the content_tag() is not displaying - this is due to the fact that I'm not using printable ruby tags (<%= # %>) but using them will dump out the FAQ objects underneath the content.
I considered the use of puts() to print the content_tag() while inside the ruby tags but that didn't work.
I've tried to search for this issue but haven't yielded anything useful.
Is this achievable and if so, does it have any benefits other than being prettier?
One way to make the later code to work if you can put the body of the loop in a helper function and return the out put of content_tag from that. The line in view file might be somewhat like this.
<%= #faqs.empty? ? content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") : printList(#faqs) %>
and your printList function will return the output of nested content_tags. You can make a generic list printing function which can be used for any list.
Something so obvious but still shared.
This should work (for clarity, I moved FAQ tag generation in separate helper method):
<div id="faqs">
<%= raw (#faqs.empty? ? content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") : #faqs.map { |faq| faq_div(faq) }.join) %>
</div>
or, perhaps more clean:
<div id="faqs">
<%= content_tag(:p, "No FAQs to display.") if #faqs.empty? %>
<%= raw #faqs.map { |faq| faq_div(faq) }.join %>
</div>
meanwhile, in helpers:
def faq_div(faq)
'<div class="faq"><strong>Q:</strong> %s<br /><strong>A:</strong> %s</div>' % [faq.question, faq.answer]
end
This should work:
<% if #faqs.each do |faq| %>
<div class="faq">
<strong>Q:</strong> <%= faq.question %>
<br />
<strong>A:</strong> <%= faq.answer %>
</div>
<% end.empty? %>
<p>No FAQs to display.</p>
<% end %>

How do I wrap link_to around some html ruby code?

How do I wrap a link around view code? I can't figure out how to pass multiple lines with ruby code to a single link_to method. The result I am looking for is that you click the column and get the show page:
<div class="subcolumns">
<div class="c25l">
<div class="subcl">
<%= image_tag album.photo.media.url(:thumb), :class => "image" rescue nil %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="c75r">
<div class="subcr">
<p><%= album.created_at %></p>
<%= link_to h(album.title), album %>
<p><%= album.created_at %></p>
<p><%= album.photo_count %></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
link_to takes a block of code ( >= Rails 2.2) which it will use as the body of the tag.
So, you do
<%= link_to(#album) do %>
html-code-here
<% end %>
But I'm quite sure that to nest a div inside a a tag is not valid HTML.
EDIT: Added = character per Amin Ariana's comment below.
Also, this may be an issue for some:
Make sure to write <%= if you are doing a simple link with code in it instead of <%.
e.g.
<%= link_to 'some_controller_name/some_get_request' do %>
Hello World
<% end %>
For older Rails versions, you can use
<% content_tag(:a, :href => foo_path) do %>
<span>Foo</span>
<% end %>
You can use link_to with a block:
<% link_to(#album) do %>
<!-- insert html etc here -->
<% end %>
A bit of a lag on this reply I know -- but I was directed here today, and didn't find a good answer. The following should work:
<% link_to raw(html here), #album %>
