I am using Rails CoffeeScript to call an action in my controller, which is fine, but I can not get the response to work. I have a form with a list of budget lines. I want to allow the use to add a new line using CoffeeScript so I don't need to reload the question. I have got the following in CoffeeScript:
$("button[id^='new_budget_line']").on 'click', (event) ->
category_id = $(this).attr('name')
child_economy_id = $('#child_economy_id').val()
$('#form_id').submit ->
valuesToSubmit = $(this).serialize()
$.ajax
type: 'POST'
url: $(this).attr('action')
data: valuesToSubmit
dataType: 'JSON'
$.ajax({
type: 'GET'
url: '../child_economy_lines/create_line'
data:
child_economy_id: child_economy_id
category_id: category_id
cost_type: 'direct'
dataType: JSON
}).done (response) ->
alert "Hey"
$('#test_append').html("Hey you now!!")
And the following in my controller
def create_line
logger.debug "Hejsa fra create line - category id #{params[:category_id]}"
@child_economy_line = @child_economy.child_economy_lines.build(:child_economy_category_id => params[:category_id], :cost_type => params[:cost_type])
if @child_economy_line.save
respond_to do |format|
format.js {render nothing: true}
format.json {render :json => "test"}
end
end
end
The action in the controller i called fine, and the new line is created, but I can not the actions after the ajax call to work. The part from .done ...
Can anybody help me identify where it is going wrong?
