How to implement editable field for an object in Ruby?

Question

I need to find a way my tasks could be edited in such a manner without updating a page. Maybe somebody know how to do it? I know it applies to Angularjs. But I really haven't found any information for my purpose.

When you click on some task, you can edit its content.

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

I would use the gem 'best_in_place' you can follow implementing it from the In-Place Editing rails cast

what you have to do is in app/assets/javascripts/application.js add the following files

//= require jquery.purr
//= require best_in_place

app/assets/javascripts/model_name.js.coffee

jQuery ->
  $('.best_in_place').best_in_place()

lastly on model/show.html.erb

<p>
  <b>Field Name:</b>
  <%= best_in_place @model, :field_name %>
</p>
<p>
  <b>Email:</b>
  <%= best_in_place @model, :email %>
</p>

That should be all you kneed. Happy coding
