Note if you have a similar setup and would share - email me @ alloffices.nyc@gmail.com
I’m still fairly new to RoR and am having a bit of trouble understanding how to setup the contributions controller and the form in the view.
**Objective:**1. user1 creates post - which belongs to user1 2. user2 click request button to join the user1_post as a contributor ( @ post_show page )
- user1 clicks accepts or declines request button ( @ post_show page link_to contribution_requests ( true : false ) )
- user2 is now a contributor to user1_post ( @ post_show list contributors )
- user1 can remove user2 as a contributor ( @ post_show page link_to contribution_requests ( true : false ) )
Got the has_many :through setup properly and have tested it in the console
contribution.rb
class Contribution < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to : post
belongs_to :
user
def accept
self.accepted = true
end
end
post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :author, class_name: 'User'
has_many :contribution_requests, -> { where(accepted: false) }, class_name: 'Contribution'
has_many :contributions, -> { where(accepted: true) }
has_many :contributors, through: :contributions, source: :user
end
user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts, foreign_key: 'author_id'
has_many :contribution_requests, -> { where(accepted: false) }, class_name: 'Contribution'
has_many :contributions, -> { where(accepted: true) }
has_many :contributed_posts, through: :contributions, source: :post
end
contributions_controller.rb
#config/routes.rb
resources :posts do
resources :contributions, only: [:create, :destroy] #-> can use posts#edit to add extra contributions
end
#app/controllers/contributions_controller.rb
class ContributionsController < ApplicationController
def create
@post = Post.find params[:post_id]
@contribution = current_user.contributions.new contribution_params
@contribution.post = @post
notice = @contribution.save ? "Added Contributor" : "Unable to add contributor"
redirect_to @post, notice: notice
end
def destroy
@contribution = current_user.contributions.find params[:id]
@contribution.
destroy
redirect_to root_url, notice: "Removed Contributor"
end
private
def contribution_params params.require(:contribution).permit(:user, :post, :accepted)
end
end
