The problem is that I want only the product_variants associated with the product_id displayed on this show page drop down form. Instead, in the dropdown I see all of the product_variants that have been entered in the db -- not just the ones specific to the product.
How would you go about specifying that this simple_form product_variants should only be for @product?
in product show page
<%= simple_form_for [@product_variant, @order_item] do |f| %>
<%= f.input :quantity %>
<%= f.association :product_variant, label_method: :name_of_method %>
<%= f.button :submit, "Add to cart" %>
<% end %>
Currently, the user is able to select a product_variant on each product's show page and succesfully add it to the cart.
Here are my models:
OrderItem
belongs_to :order, optional: true
belongs_to :cart, optional: true
belongs_to :product_variant
accepts_nested_attributes_for :product_variant
ProductVariant
belongs_to :product
has_many :order_items
validates :item, presence: true
def name_of_method
"#{item} / #{color} / #{size} / $#{price_in_dollars}"
end
def price_in_dollars
price / 100
end
Product
has_many :product_variants, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :order_items
Cart
has_many :order_items
& here are my routes
# we want to see multiple products
resources :products
resources :product_variants do
resources :order_items
end
resources :selected_variants
# we want a user to only have one cart
resource :cart
# we want our users to order multiple times
resources :orders
root "products#index"
here is my products controller where code for product_variant display is located in def show:
class ProductsController < ApplicationController
def index
@products = Product.all
end
def new
@product = Product.new
end
def create
@product = Product.new(product_params)
@product.save
end
def show
@product = Product.friendly.find(params[:id])
@product_variant = ProductVariant.find_by(params[:product_variant_id])
# if the product is already in the cart
@order_item = @current_cart.order_items.find_by(product_variant: @product_variant)
if @order_item.nil?
# if it doesn't exist in the cart
@order_item = @current_cart.order_items.new(product_variant: @product_variant, quantity: 1)
end
end
def edit
end
def update
render "edit"
end
def destroy
end
def product_params
Params.require(:product).permit(:title, :description, :price, :cover_image, :image_1, :image_2, :image_3 )
end
end
and here is my schema for relevant tables:
create_table "product_variants", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "item"
t.string "size"
t.string "color"
t.integer "price"
t.integer "product_id", null: false
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.index ["product_id"], name: "index_product_variants_on_product_id"
end
create_table "products", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "title"
t.string "cover_image"
t.text "description"
t.integer "price"
t.string "image_1"
t.string "image_2"
t.string "image_3"
t.boolean "is_sold_out", default: false
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.string "slug"
t.index ["slug"], name: "index_products_on_slug", unique: true
end
create_table "order_items", force: :cascade do |t|
t.integer "cart_id"
t.integer "product_id"
t.integer "product_variant_id"
t.integer "order_id"
t.integer "quantity"
t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
t.index ["cart_id"], name: "index_order_items_on_cart_id"
t.index ["order_id"], name: "index_order_items_on_order_id"
t.index ["product_id"], name: "index_order_items_on_product_id"
t.index ["product_variant_id"], name: "index_order_items_on_product_variant_id"
end
I'll be happy to provide any other code that you may think to be relevant to solve this.
