I'm trying to show a message on the new view
Here the live demo:
http://code.runnable.com/VrUvfZPOiiVooTAU/importing-excel-files-for-ruby-on-rails
Here is the controller:
def new
end
def create
@errors = User.import(params[:file])
if @errors.present?
render :new;
return;
end
end
Here is the view
Import
<%= form_tag user_management_users_path, multipart: true do %>
<%= file_field_tag :file %>
<%= submit_tag "Import" %>
<% end %>
<% if @errors %>
<% @errors.each do |message| %>
<%= message %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Here is the model:
def self.import(file)
@errors = []
spreadsheet = open_spreadsheet(file)
(2..spreadsheet.last_row).each do |i|
name = spreadsheet.cell(i,'A')
lastname = spreadsheet.cell(i,'B')
doc_nat = spreadsheet.cell(i,'C')
user = User.create(:name => name,
:lastname =>lastname,
:doc_nat =>doc_nat)
if user.save
# stuff to do on successful save
else
user.errors.full_messages.each do |message|
@errors << "Issue line #{i}, column #{message}"
end
end
end
end
def self.open_spreadsheet(file)
case File.extname(file.original_filename)
when ".csv" then Roo::CSV.new(file.path, csv_options: {encoding: "iso-8859-1:utf-8"})
when ".xls" then Roo::Excel.new(file.path, packed: false, file_warning: :ignore)
when ".xlsx" then Roo::Excelx.new(file.path, nil, :ignore)
else raise "Unknown file type: #{file.original_filename}"
end
end
I'm trying to find the way to show a message indicating the ROW PROBLEM on the index view.
For example I'm adding a user that already exist and want to show a message indicating
ROW 1 already exist
Row 2 is duplicated
Row 1 must be string
or something like that
But after uploading the excel just getting numbers and not the message:
Issue line 2, column already exist
Issue line 3, column already exist
Just getting numbers:
2 3
If the user can't be saved that means it failed validation (although the only validation you have at the moment is on doc_nat
... you may want to add validations for the "must be string" conditions, etc).
For an active_record object that failed validation, there's an array object.errors.full_messages
which is all the errors found when validating.
So...
def self.import(file)
@errors = []
spreadsheet = open_spreadsheet(file)
(2..spreadsheet.last_row).each do |i|
name = spreadsheet.cell(i,'A')
lastname = spreadsheet.cell(i,'B')
doc_nat = spreadsheet.cell(i,'C')
user = User.new(:name => name,
:lastname =>lastname,
:doc_nat =>doc_nat)
if user.save
# stuff to do on successful save
else
user.errors.full_messages.each do |message|
@errors << "La información de la línea #{i}, columna #{message}"
end
end
end
@errors # <- need to return the @errors array
end
and in the view...
<% if @errors %>
<% @errors.each do |message| %>
<%= message %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
