I am trying to create a form that has an option, which if chosen, via a checkbox, returns true or false to the database. I have added the column to my db like so
rails g migration AddWantSellToPosts want_sell?:boolean
and also added the necessary params to the controllers page so that data is passed through. However no value is being returned to the database. I suspected it was my implementation of the check_box in Rails, however I am still not sure.
this is the html.erb
<%= f.text_field :price, :id => 'price' %>
<%= f.check_box :want_sell? %>
this is the posts_controller.rb
before_action :authenticate_user!, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
....
@post = Post.new params[:post].permit(:description, :picture, :tag_names, :price, :want_sell?)
@post.user = current_user
I should add i am new to rails and coding in general so I may be missing something really obvious!
Thanks
As in my comment...
Rename the column to want_sell, want_sell? is a dynamic method that Rails will make available to check if the boolean is true/false. Also be sure to call @post.save.
