show rest of a form if a checkbox is ckecked in ruby on rails

Question

I need to ask to my user if will pay a service with credit card...if it checked the option pay_with_card? it must show the rest of the form, that ask for other data like car

Answer 1

You can do it through jQuery, for example:

$ ->
  $('select#pay_with_card').change ->
    if $(this).val() == 'yes'
      $('.card_block').slideDown('fast')
    else
      $('.card_block').slideUp('fast')

assumed that part of the form with payment card is included in the div with .card_block class

Answer 2

This worked for me with a form_with model and bootstrap
Change my_hidden_form with an id that makes sense for your form.
Original code is haml

= form_with scope: :model, url: models_path, local: true do |form|
            .row
              .col-6
                .form-group
                  %h5.mb0 THE CASE TO TICK
                  = form.check_box :form_value, {:data => {:aria => {controls: :my_hidden_form, expanded: false}, :toggle => "collapse", :type => "checkbox", :target => "#my_hidden_form" }}

            .row
              .col-6
                .form-group.collapse#my_hidden_form
                  %h5.mb0 THE FORM TO SHOW WHEN CASE IS TICKED
                  = form.text_field :name, placeholder: "A name"

            .row
              .col-md-12.text-right
                = form.submit 'Submit', class: "btn btn-primary"

Converted to erb/html with https://haml2erb.org/

<%= form_with scope: :model, url: models_path, local: true do |form| %>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-6">
    <div class="form-group">
      <h5 class="mb0">THE CASE TO TICK
        <%= form.check_box :form_value, {:data => {:aria => {controls: :my_hidden_form, expanded: false}, :toggle => "collapse", :type => "checkbox", :target => "#my_hidden_form" }} %>
      </h5>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-6">
      <div class="form-group collapse" id="my_hidden_form">
        <h5 class="mb0">THE FORM TO SHOW WHEN CASE IS TICKED
          <%= form.text_field :name, placeholder: "A name"  %>
        </h5>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-12 text-right">
    <%= form.submit 'Submit', class: "btn btn-primary" %>
    </div>
  </div>
<% end %>

Make the card number/mail details div style="display:none;", then add some javascript to the checkbox to change it to display:block;

Something like this:

<%= form_for(@product) do |f| %>
  <%= f.label :pay_with_card? %>
  <%= f.check_box :pay_with_card,{}, "Yes", "No"%>
  <div id="card_details" style="display:none;">
    <%= f.label :card_number %> <%= f.text_field :card_number %>
    <%= f.label :mail %> <%= f.text_field :mail %>
  </div>
<% end %>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var checkbox = document.getElementById('product_pay_with_card');
  var details_div = document.getElementById('card_details');
  checkbox.onchange = function() {
     if(this.checked) {
       details_div.style['display'] = 'block';
     } else {
       details_div.style['display'] = 'none';
     }
  };
</script>

Answer 4

Ok my solution is this: all the code in the view, if a user check pay_with_card...(mi code is in spanish) it shows the complete form...if is not checked don´t show nothing, just the same checkbox asking for payment... thanks guys.

function mostrar (){
var checkbox = document.getElementById('chk_tarjeta');
if (checkbox.checked)
document.getElementById("card_details").style.display = "block";
else
document.getElementById("card_details").style.display = "none";
</script>

<h1>Forma de Pago</h1>
<%= form_for(@product) do |f| %>
<div id="product_pay_with_card">
<div >
<%= f.label :paga_con_tarjeta? %></br>
<%= f.check_box :paga_con_tarjeta, :id => "chk_tarjeta", :onclick => "mostrar();" %>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="card_details" >
<div>
<%= f.label :numero_de_tarjeta %></br>
<%= f.text_field :numerotarjeta %>
</div>
<div>
<%= f.label :codigo_de_seguridad %></br>
<%= f.text_field :codigoseguridad %>
</div>

Answer 5

You can use JS for it or move pay_with_card out of form like:

<%= link_to 'pay with card', your_current_path(:pay_with_card => 1) %>
<%= form_for(...) do |f| %>
  <% if params[:pay_with_card] %>
    <%= # fields for card %>
  <% end %> 
<% end %>

Answer 6

How about using jQuery?

First, wrap your credit card fields in a div with class credit_card_fields and than add this JS code to your page:

$("input[type='checkbox']#pay_with_card").on('change', function(){
  $('.credit_card_fields').toggle();
});
