I hit a brick wall. I have cracked this problem for so long, I don’t even know how I got to where I am. All I can say, I tried everything below without success:
How to render “new”, “edit” and “delete” views in Bootstrap models in the “index” view, rather than linking to separate pages for each?
Here is my code as of now. For now, let's ignore the “edit” and “delete” and just focus on the “new”. When I click the Create button, a modal line appears with the line "<% = j render" items / new "%>" (instead of the form that Ruby should render). What am I doing wrong?:
items_controller.rb:
class ItemsController < ApplicationController
def index
@items = Item.all
end
def new
respond_to do |format|
format.js {}
end
end
def create
@item = Item.new(item_params)
if @item.save
flash[:notice] = "'#{@item.name}' saved!"
redirect_to items_path
else
flash[:notice] = "Something went wrong :("
render "index"
end
end
def edit
@item = Item.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.js {}
end
end
def update
@item = Item.find(item_params[:id])
if @item.update_attributes(item_params)
flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated #{@item.name}."
redirect_to items_path
else
flash[:notice] = "Oops"
end
end
private
def item_params
params.require(:item).permit(:name, :bid, :uuid)
end
end
