Toggle categories in a table in Ruby on Rails

Question

I am trying to create a page that shows a table that contains products and I would like for the user to be able to toggle the categories. For example, if there are categories jeans, shirts and jackets, I would like a set of checkboxes that would toggle between showing the three categories of products. The problem is that I am unsure of how to approach this problem. I am not sure how to allow the user to relay the information to the controller without changing every users toggled categories. I also don't know how to get around the fact that refreshing the page to refresh the table would simply reset all of the categories.

Answer 1

you can do it in this way,

• based upon event click of checkbox fire up ajax request on get req/param_catagory

• get and assign data and load it over data table

• you can use jquery data table plugins for that

• There are few easy jquery plugins for that example: jquery data table

Hope this will help.
