问题
I am creating a basic product landing page with Rails in which users can enter their email address to be notified when the product launches. (Yes, there are services/gems etc that could do this for me, but I am new to programming and want to build it myself to learn rails.)
On successful submit of the form, I would like to redirect to a custom '/thanks' page in which I thank users for their interest in the product (and also encourage them to complete a short survey.)
Currently, successful submits are displayed at "/invites/:id/" eg "invites/3" which I do not want since it exposes the number of invites that have been submitted. I would like to instead redirect all successful submits to a "/thanks" page.
I have attempted to research "rails custom URLs" but have not been able to find anything that works. The closest I was able to find was this Stackoverflow post on how to redirect with custom routes but did not fully understand the solution being recommended. I have also tried reading the Rails Guide on Routes but am new to this and did not see anything that I understood to allow for creating a custom URL.
I have placed my thanks message which I would like displayed on successful form submit in "views/invites/show.html.haml"
My Routes file
resources :invites
root :to => 'invites#new'
I tried inserting in routes.rb:
post "/:thanks" => "invites#show", :as => :thanks
But I don't know if this would work or how I would tell the controller to redirect to :thanks
My controller (basically vanilla rails, only relevant actions included here):
def show
@invite = Invite.find(params[:id])
show_path = "/thanks"
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { render json: @invite }
end
end
# GET /invites/new
# GET /invites/new.json
def new
@invite = Invite.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.json { render json: @invite }
end
end
# POST /invites
# POST /invites.json
def create
@invite = Invite.new(params[:invite])
respond_to do |format|
if @invite.save
format.html { redirect_to @invite }
#format.js { render :action => 'create_success' }
format.json { render json: @invite, status: :created, location: @invite }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
#format.js { render :action => 'create_fail' }
format.json { render json: @invite.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
It would seem as if creating a standard URL for displaying a confirmation would be relatively straightforward. Any advice on how to achieve this would be appreciated.
回答1:
I guess you want to redirect after your create action, which is executed when the form is submitted.
Just add redirect_to in the following way:
def create
@invite = Invite.new(params[:invite])
if @invite.save
...
redirect_to '/thanks'
else
...
redirect_to new_invite_path # if you want to return to the form submission page on error
end
end
I omitted some of the code for brevity.
In your routes add:
get '/thanks', to: "invites#thanks"
Add the thanks action to your invites controller:
def thanks
# something here if needed
end
And create a thanks.html.erb page in app/views/invites.

I would do get "/thanks" => "invites#thanks"
in routes.rb
and then add this in your controller:
def thanks
end
Then add a file app/views/invites/thanks.html.erb
with your thank-you content.

You could create a route like this:
resources :invites do
collection do
get 'thanks'
end
end
This will also create a path helper called thanks_invites_path
.
It will be at the invites/thanks
path, but if you want it to be on/thanks
, you could just do as Jason mentioned:
get "/thanks" => "invites#thanks", :as => :thanks
The as
part will generate a helper to access that page: thanks_path
.
You would need a extra action in the controller called thanks
, and put whatever info you need inside, and also you will need a additional view called thanks.html.erb
Since you want everybody to go to that page after a successful submit, in your create action you would have:
format.html { redirect_to thanks_invites_path}
(or thanks_path
), what ever you choose, when you name the route you can check it with rake routes
if it's okay, and whatever rake routes
says, just add _path
at the end.
