I am trying to create an ajax functionality for a sample app of michael heart book . I created a feed model controller which is micropost in hear book . I am trying to use ajax like post feed method . But I am getting some error . I am attaching my code below take a look and help me .
#feeds_controller.erb
class FeedsController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user! ,only: [:create, :destroy]
def create
@feed = current_user.feeds.build(feed_params)
if @feed.save
flash[:success] = "Micropost created!"
#redirect_to root_url
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to root_url }
format.js
else
@feed_items = []
render 'static_pages/home'
end
end
def destroy
end
private
def feed_params
params.require(:feed).permit(:content)
end
end
And my home page is rendering some partials Here is the code :
#static_pages/home.html.erb
<% if user_signed_in? %>
<div class="row">
<aside class="col-md-4">
<section class="user_info">
<%= render 'shared/user_info' %>
</section>
<section class="stats">
<%= render 'shared/stats' %>
</section>
</aside>
<div class="col-md-8">
<h3>Micropost Feed</h3>
<section class="micropost_form">
<%= render 'shared/feed_form' %>
</section>
<%= render 'shared/feed' %>
</div>
</div>
<% else %>
<% end %>
Here are two codes Everything work perfectly but when I am trying to add ajax I get the error which is :
Rendered shared/_feed.html.erb (3.1ms)
Rendered feeds/create.js.erb (6.0ms)
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 73ms (ActiveRecord: 44.4ms)
NoMethodError (undefined method `any?' for nil:NilClass):
app/views/shared/_feed.html.erb:1:in `_app_views_shared__feed_html_erb___516512175__638262078'
app/views/feeds/create.js.erb:1:in `_app_views_feeds_create_js_erb___967625174__637838198'
app/controllers/feeds_controller.rb:9:in `create'
To execute ajax on create method I added these files unders feeds views file name is create.js.erb
$("#feed_add").html("<%= escape_javascript(render partial: "shared/feed") %>");
And form file is under shared view file with name _feed_form.html.erb
<%= form_for(@feed,:remote => true) do |f| %>
<div id="feed_add">
<%= f.text_area :content, placeholder: "Compose new feed..." %>
</div>
<%= f.submit "Post", class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
#_feed.html.erb
<% if @feed_items.any? %>
<ol class="microposts">
<%= render @feed_items %>
</ol>
<%= will_paginate @feed_items %>
<% end %>
So tell me how can I add feed and without refreshing how can I show feed using partial In this code .
