I'm very new to Rails, Databases, and web development in general, right now my feature is working but I'm 100% sure it's not the cleanest or most Ruby-esq way of doing it. Basically I want to use two separate links that sort the same table by different columns, without using two controller actions and two views. I'd rather just user the one index action that takes a parameter indicating how to sort the returned data.
Current Controller:
Controller
def index
@casinos = Casino.order('name ASC')
end
def casinos_by_region
@casinos = Casino.order('location ASC')
end
And links in the view
%h3 Sort by:
= link_to 'Name', casinos_path
%br
= link_to 'Location', casinos_by_region_path
I read the docs but I didn't see an obvious way on passing an argument from the view to controller using a link_to path? I know I could do it other ways, but I refuse to believe I can't do it this way. Sorry for the dumb question!
How about this:
def index
@casinos = Casino.order("#{params[:sort_param]} ASC")
end
%h3 Sort by:
= link_to 'Name', casinos_path(:sort_param => "name")
%br
= link_to 'Location', casinos_path(:sort_param => "location")
The path in link_to can take a hash which are parameters on the request. You can set a parameter (in this case sort_param) with what value you want to sort by, then use that in your order on the index method of the controller.
