sendAnswers page is a survey page with questions and options.
def sendAnswers
@questions = @homework.questions
end
``
The view for sendAnswers is
= form_for :survey do |f|
- @questions.each_with_index do |q, i|
%p
%br
= "#{i+1})"
= q.question
%p
- if q.options.size == 0
= f.text_field 'answer_' + q.id.to_s, placeholder: 'Answer', class: 'form-control'
- else
- q.options.each do |o|
.radio
%label
= f.radio_button 'answer_' + q.id.to_s, o.option
= o.option
= f.submit "Submit", class: 'btn btn-primary', data: {confirm: 'Are you sure you want to submit this homework?'}
``
The page posts to the following method which saves the answers to questions in database.
def saveAnswers
@homework.questions.each do |q|
aa = Answer.new
aa.answer = params[:survey]['answer_' + q.id.to_s]
aa.question = q
aa.user = current_user
aa.homework = @homework
aa.save
end
render 'complete'
end
``
As you can see above i am appending question ids to the questions in the view page to track which answer belongs to which question and in the save action i use the appended question ids to save the answer to respective question. I am wondering whether there is a better and more natural way of binding this and not doing it manually like i am doing. Can this be achieved using form objects? I appreciate any guide to this dilemma. Thanks!
