I've been going round in circles all day with this. I have a large multi-step form using the Wicked gem and Ruby on Rails. It works perfectly but I can't figure out how to to get back into the form to edit individual entries.
Iim trying to make the ability to go into the client show page, click an individual client and then from there go back into the quote to edit and update it. As the Wicked gem only seems to work with show and update actions, if I try to build a standard edit action Wicked expects to be on a step therefore doesn't work. I read the I would have to factor the edit action into my show/update actions but I'm having difficulties. Any help would be great thanks!
Clients Controller:
class ClientsController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!, only: [:index, :show, :edit]
before_action :set_client, only: [:edit, :show, :update]
def index
@clients = Client.order('created_at DESC').paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: 10)
end
def show; end
def new
@client = Client.new
end
def edit; end
def update
if @client.update_attributes(client_params)
redirect_to client_quotes_path
flash[:success] = 'Client successfully updated'
else
render 'edit'
end
render_wizard @client
end
# After client is completed:
def create
@client = Client.new(client_params)
if @client.valid?
@client.save
session[:current_user_id] = @client.id
ClientMailer.new_client(@client).deliver
redirect_to quotes_path
else
flash[:alert] = 'Sorry, there was a problem with your message. Please contact us directly at ...'
render :new
end
end
private
def set_client
@client = Client.find(params[:id])
end
def client_params
params.require(:client).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :title, :email, :email_confirmation,
:phone, :time, :reminder, :ref_number, :day, :note, :logs_reminder)
end
end
Quotes Controller:
class QuotesController < ApplicationController
include Wicked::Wizard
before_action :set_client, only: [:show, :update, :quote_success]
steps :profile, :employment, :general_questions, :indemnity_details, :declarations
def show
@client.build_doctor unless @client.doctor.present?
@client.build_dentist unless @client.dentist.present?
@client.old_insurers.build
@client.practice_addresses.build
render_wizard
end
def update
@client.update(client_params)
render_wizard @client
end
def quote_success; end
private
def set_client
current_user = Client.find_by_id(session[:current_user_id])
@client = current_user
end
# After full quote form is completed:
def finish_wizard_path
if @client.valid?
ClientMailer.new_quote(@client).deliver
ClientMailer.new_quote_user_message(@client).deliver
end
quote_success_path
end
end
def client_params
params.require(:client).permit(:name, :email, :email_confirmation, :phone, :date_required,
:title, :first_name, :last_name, :date_of_birth, :nationality, :reg_body, :reg_date, :reg_type, :reg_number,
:qual_place, :qual_year, :post_grad, :membership ...
Routes:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
devise_for :users
root 'clients#new'
get 'client', to: 'clients#new', as: 'client'
post 'client', to: 'clients#create'
get '/client_quotes', to: 'clients#index', as: 'client_quotes'
get '/client_quotes/:id', to: 'clients#show', as: 'client_quote'
get '/client_quotes/:id/edit', to: 'clients#edit', as: 'edit_client_quote'
patch '/client_quotes/:id', to: 'clients#update'
put '/client_quotes/:id', to: 'clients#update'
resources :quotes, only: [:index, :show, :update, :quote_success]
get 'quote-success' => 'quotes#quote_success'
devise_scope :user do
get '/login' => 'devise/sessions#new'
end
end
My solution to this in the end was rather than have the edit form as a multi step wizard, I've joined the form data together in a separate view page and got a traditional route to it as you mention. Not perfect but does the job!
