I want to add service objects in to my controller. Is there any chance to include flash messages in to this service object?
user_stocks_controller
class UserStocksController < ApplicationController
def create
@user_stock = UserStocksCreator.new(current_user, params).call
redirect_to my_portfolio_path
end
end
service objects user_stocks_creator
class UserStocksCreator
def initialize(current_user, params)
@current_user = current_user
@params = params[:stock_ticker]
end
def call
stock = Stock.find_by_ticker(params)
if stock.blank?
stock = Stock.new_from_lookup(params)
stock.save
end
@user_stock = UserStock.create(user: current_user, stock: stock)
flash[:success] = "Stock #{@user_stock.stock.name} was successfully added to portfolio"
end
private
attr_accessor :current_user, :params
end
With this code I have an error:
undefined local variable or method `flash'
The flash
method is only available in the controller. When you want to set the flash in the service object then you need to pass the flash to the service object.
# in the controller
def create
@user_stock = UserStocksCreator.new(current_user, params, flash).call
redirect_to my_portfolio_path
end
# in the service
class UserStocksCreator
def initialize(current_user, params, flash)
@current_user = current_user
@params = params[:stock_ticker]
@flash = flash
end
def call
# unchanged...
end
private
attr_accessor :current_user, :params, :flash
end
