I'm trying to create a view, where users can click on different buttons and render different content based on the buttons they click. I've tried getting this done with JS but can't really get it to work. I made a button in my view:
<div class="link">
<%= link_to "Greetings", "#" %>
</div>
<div id="show"></div>
then in job.js.erb:
$(function() {
$('.link').click(function() {
$('#show').append("<%=escape_javascript render(:partial => 'show' %>");
});
});
unfortunately render is not supported in assets, but I don't really know what the best way is to make this happen.
One way you can try is to let the button click go to a controller action, by AJAX, and then render the file with name <action_name>.js.erb. this file will then be able to call the render action.
I will expatiate more with the following:
Assuming the resource in question is Greetings and you have a dynamic_show action in the Greetings controller, for example, and you have a dynamic_show_greetings_path routing to this action.
From inside your view, you can have:
<div class="link">
<%= link_to "Greetings", dynamic_show_greetings_path, remote: true %>
</div>
<div id="show"></div>
and the Greetings#dynamic_show action will be like follow:
def dynamic_show
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end
then, in your view directory, you have a dynamic_show.js.erb file, which will contain the script to append the dynamic view as follow:
$('#show').html("<%=escape_javascript render(:partial => 'show') %>");
And that solves it for you!
Of course, to now make it dynamic, you have to then pass in params to the controller, and then render content based on the response gotten.
PS:
remote: true on the link ensures that the call will be an AJAX call.dynamic_show responding to js will render dynamic_show.js.erbHope this throws a great light into it for you... ;)
