I'm attempting to submit a form in Rails, and it's not creating into the db. I tried placing a binding.pry
in the controller action but I'm not reaching it. Can you take a look at my form below and my controller action and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong?
<form>
<%= simple_form_for @movie do |f| %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.input :title, placeholder: "Movie Title", input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<%= f.input :year, as: :date,
start_year: Date.today.year,
end_year: Date.today.year - 100,
discard_day: true, order: [:year],
input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<%= f.input :genre, placeholder: "Genre", input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.input :poster, placeholder: "Poster URL", input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<%= f.input :director, placeholder: "Director",
input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<%= f.input :rating, collection: 1..5, prompt: "1(bad) - 5(great)", input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.association :lists, as: :radio_buttons, input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= f.input :plot, as: :text, placeholder: "Plot Summary", input_html: { class: 'form-control' } %>
</div>
<div class="form-group text-center">
<%= f.button :submit, "Add Movie", class: "btn btn-primary col-md-4"
%>
</div>
<% end %>
</form>
My controller actions:
def new
@movie = Movie.new
end
def create
binding.pry
@movie = Movie.new(movie_params)
if @movie.save
redirect_to movie_path(@movie)
else
flash[:danger] = "Please try again!"
redirect_to new_movie_path
end
end
def movie_params
params.require(:movie).permit(:title, :year, :genre, :poster, :director, :plot, :list_ids)
end
Any ideas here? The form will not submit.
You need to add rating
and possibly lists
into your movie_params
You can also clean your create
method and make it simpler:
def create
@movie = Movie.new(movie_params)
if @movie.save
redirect_to @movie
else
flash[:danger] = "Please try again!"
render 'new'
end
end
You shouldn't need to use <form>
when using simple_form.
