Cant define a hash in the params, using field_for and rails 5

I am trying to submit 2 values to a rails scope. I need the radius (submitted by a range tag) and the postcode.

I have a fields_for tag in a form (in haml): 

      =f.fields_for :postcode do |postcode_fields|
        =postcode_fields.text_field(:postcode_d,placeholder: "HQ Location")
        =postcode_fields.range_field(:max_range, in: 1..100)

Scope: 

scope :postcode, lambda {|input|
return nil  if input.blank?

terms = Scotland.near(input[0], input[1])

where(
terms.map { |term|
  " charity_id = ?"
}.join(' OR '),
*terms.map {|e|(e.charity_id)}.flatten
)
}

Controller: 

    def scotland_params
      params.require(:scotland).permit!(:charity_number, :charity_name, :registered_date, :known_as, :charity_status, postcode: [:postcode_d,:max_range] , :constitutional_form)
    end

The problem seems to be in my definition of postcode. I have tried a variety of ways to define the postcode hash, none of which have worked. For the one i have use here the error is

SyntaxError 

    (/Users/peterkentish/Documents/UNIVERSITY/SecondYear/Semester2/SoftwareHut/project/app/controllers/scotlands_controller.rb:46: syntax error, unexpected =>

...                               ^):

TL;DR How do i pass nested attributes in rails 5?

EDIT:

params hash (i think):

@scotlands = Scotland.all
@filterrific = initialize_filterrific(Scotland, params[:filterrific]) or return
 @scotlands = @filterrific.find.page(params[:scotlands])
@scotlands = @scotlands.paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: 20)

Solution

  • If anyone comes across this, there is a bug in the gem filterrific:
