send data from view to controller in rails
Question
I want to send some data from view to controller in rails through ajax.
I have the following code in app/view/static/home.html.erb
<script type="text/javascript">
var dummy = "testtext";
$('#finish').click(function() {
$.ajax( {
url: '/finish',
type: 'POST',
data: dummy,
dataType: 'text'
});
});
</script>
<body>
<%= button_to "Finish", {:action => 'finish', :controller => 'static'}, :method => :post, id => 'finish' %>
</body>
in app/view/static/finish.html.erb
<p><%= @data %></p>
app/controller/static_controller.rb
def finish
@data = params[:data]
end
in routes.rb
post 'finish' => 'static#finish'
My understanding is that on button click the ajax script will be executed and rails action will store the data passed from view. This doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if my understanding of the flow is right.

Because you are calling params[:data] in the controller, you need to specify that {data: dummy} in the AJAX data section
<script type="text/javascript">
var dummy = "testtext";
$('#finish').click(function() {
$.ajax( {
url: '/finish',
type: 'POST',
data: {data: dummy},
dataType: 'text'
});
});
</script>
Also you might want to respond to your AJAX call in your controller using the following
def finish
@data = params[:data]
respond_to do |format|
format.json { insert_your_code_here }
end
end
