Rails 3 Rendering Binary Content - ruby-on-rails-3

I need to render binary content(images) on web page. I'm saving images in the database with datatype binary. Now I need to iterate available images from the database and render on webpage.
Please check the below code that I'm doing. Icon is the image column name in material.
// iterating all materials
<% #materials.each do |material| %>
// for each material
<span><%= image_tag(material.icon) %></span>
<% end %>
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

You need to add an action to your controller along these lines (cribbed from here):
def image
#material = Material.find(params[:id])
send_data #material.icon, :type => 'image/png',:disposition => 'inline'
end
Then call the path to that action in your image_tag. You obviously need to make sure the :type field has the right MIME type, add a route, etc.

Display only one field from an embedded document with MongoID

I'm a real beginner with MongoDB and MongoID.
I created two scaffolds
class Objet
include Mongoid::Document
field :nom, type: String
embeds_one :coordonnee
end
And
class Coordonnee
include Mongoid::Document
field :adresse1, type: String
field :adresse2, type: String
field :code_postal, type: String
field :ville, type: String
embedded_in :objet
end
That's what I get when creating a new Objet :
Now, I'm trying to show only the field adresse1 for this document, but it doesn't work. I can display only the whole embedded document doing this :
When I do :
<%= #objet.coordonnees.adresse1 %>
I get this error :
undefined method `adresse1' for #<Hash:0x2b2b1f0>
How can I do that ?
EDIT
Doing that, I can display all the elements "Adresse1, adresse2, ville, code_postal" :
Controller
def show
#objet = Objet.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { render json: #objet }
end
end
View
<%= #objet.nom %>
<% #objet.coordonnee.each do |t| %>
<%= t[1] %>
<% end %>
But my question is : How to display ONLY one of them ? Such as ville, or code_postal or adresse1... ?
What was your code that works for the full document? It was dropped from your post.
In the mongo Shell, you could do this with dot notation db.collection.find({},{'coordonnees.adresse1':1,'_id':0}) You need to specify the '_id':0 because _id is always returned by default.
The other answer will not work because adresse1 is a subdocument. You must include the reference to coordonnees.
Not hugely familiar with MongoID, but assuming you can make calls straight to mongo, there is a second implicit parameter to all find-like statements called a projection that specifies what exactly you would like to return.
For instance, showing only adresse1 for all items in your collection:
db.collection.find({},{"coordonnees.adresse1": 1, "_id":0})
should return only the adresse1 parameter. I wasn't quite able to tell exactly what context you're displaying the objects in, but regardless of context, api calls to mongo should be fairly straightforward to make. Let me know if I've misinterpreted this question though.
In your posted example, you should change your find function to something like the following:
Objet.find({params[:id]}, {:fields => [coordonnees.adresse1]})
Hope that helps.
I found the solution to my problem.
To display only one element of the hash, I can do :
<%= #objet.coordonnees['adresse1'] %>
I am not sure if you are using embeds_one or embeds_many as you are using singular and plural forms of the relation name interchangeably in your question.
If it is a embeds_one the problem is that you should not iterate on #objet.coordonnee as it is a single document. Your view code should look like:
<%= #objet.nom %>
<%= #objet.coordonnee.address1 %>
If it is a embeds_many, your relation name should be plural, then you should be able to use t.address1 in your view.
# model Objet
embeds_many :coordonnees
# view
<%= #objet.nom %>
<% #objet.coordonnees.each do |t| %>
<%= t.address1 %>
<% end %>

Use translation for submit button

I don't want to use the default
<%= f.submit %>
and have created a helper function for it, which also embeds an icon. The helper function expects a label to put on the newly created button.
I'm calling it like this:
<%= submit_button("icon-plus", I18n.translate("helpers.submit.create")) %>
But now on this text appears on the button:
%{model} toevoegen
Instead of:
Product type toevoegen
If I use the normal submit button then the correct text appears so my yml files are correct. How can I get the correct text to use in the helper?
Helper code:
def submit_button(icon, label)
link_to "javascript:void(0)", :class => 'btn btn-primary', :onclick => "$(this).closest('form').submit()" do
raw('<div class="') + icon + raw(' icon-white"> ') + label +raw('</div>')
end
end
As the I18n guide says, the translate function interpolates variables passed in the %{} brackets using its second argument (a hash).
In your case you need to tell it the model by doing this:
I18n.t("helpers.submit.create", model: "Product type")
If you want a generic option that would work for any model, you can see how Rails itself does it by looking at the source on GitHub - it's something like
I18n.t("helpers.submit.create", model: f.object.class.model_name.human)
As an aside, you don't need to (and probably shouldn't) use raw there. What you are trying to achieve could easily be done with the built-in helpers:
link_to ... do
content_tag :div, label, class: "#{icon} icon-white"
end

rspec rendered view fails to include variable data

I have a failing rspec view test but the code works - I probably have a variable incorrectly setup but can't figure out what it is.
When I display the contents of #incident_report (pp #incident_report) in my spec, it properly displays the record created by FactoryGirl.
When I display the actual rendered content (puts rendered), it shows the values from the the record I created with FactoryGirl...
But the "rendered.should contain(work_order)" spec fails with:
1) incident_reports/show.html displays the work order number on the incident
Failure/Error: rendered.should contain(work_order)
expected the following element's content to include "54785":
and none of the data is displayed, only the HTML template
spec/views/incident_report/show.html.haml_spec.rb code
require 'spec_helper'
describe "incident_reports/show.html" do
before(:each) do
#incident_report = Factory(:incident_report)
end
it "displays the work order number on the incident" do
work_order = #incident_report.work_order
pp #incident_report #displays an incident_report, id => 1
assign(:incident_report, #incident_report)
render
puts rendered #this DOES have the content from #incident_report
rendered.should contain("Work Order:")
rendered.should contain(work_order)
end
end
show.html.haml code
%h1 Display Incident Report
.navigation
= link_to 'Edit', edit_incident_report_path(#incident_report)
|
\#{link_to 'Back', incident_reports_path}
= render 'form'
.navigation
= link_to 'Edit', edit_incident_report_path(#incident_report)
|
\#{link_to 'Back', incident_reports_path}
Gotta be something really simple I'm overlooking.
Turns out it's because I was using simple_form and when simple_form displays for a "show" action, it puts the field values into the html as a 'value="54785"' attribute. If you display it in a browser, the labels and values all show up correctly, but rspec can't see them.
I had to add
rendered.should have_tag 'input', :with => { :value => "54765", :name => 'incident_report[work_order]' }
to my example to get it to work.
Seems like there should be a better solution but at least now I can continue testing.

saving file after passing parameter

Here is the parent question: save string to file
I want to pass the parameter which will be saved in file(.csv) after clicking button.
#bigtable is a table with strings in each row.
Here is the code in my show.html.erb:
...some code here...
<%= form_tag do %>
<% text_field_tag, id = "bigtable", value = #bigtable.to_s %>
<%= submit_tag 'Zapisz' %>
<% end %>
and my controller method:
def savefile
#bigtable = param[:bigtable]
#bigtable.join("\n")
File.open("path/to/file", "w") { |file| file.write #bigtable.join("\n") }
end
But mine code doesn't work :/
I want to save #bigtable strings to file. Each row record of the table is a new line of the file. And I want to save file without redirecting current page anywhere but completely don't know why:( Please help.
okay, I know why it doesn't work - I shoud add some new route to initialize savefile method - but how do it without redirecting/refreshing current page with results? plz help
Use <%= form_tag(url, :remote => true) do %> to make the call with Ajax, so your page will not be redirected. Use your server logs to see if the request is executed (if you want to get the result of the ajax call in your page, look at http://www.alfajango.com/blog/rails-3-remote-links-and-forms/).
I've found a solution - to not write double post here is the link to the topic with the answer: saving variable to file and downloading it

Reload calendar into nested forms (rails 3)

I have a form which contains one model (let's call it Model1) and this models accepts nested attributes from another one (let's call it Model2). I want to be able to save many Model2 records, but I want the view, at the beginning, to show just one set of fields from Model2, and have a button which, if clicked, displays another set of fields from that model, and so on. For this, i'm using the nested_form gem.
All is working well, but the problem is that one of the fields is associated with a datepicker. So, the first Model2 set of fields shows the calendar, but when I click to render the next set of fields, the datepicker, of course, does not get shown anymore (because the Javascript loads only when you get to the page and never again)
The following code shows the button which adds more concepts (Concept is Model2)
<%= f.fields_for :concepts do |concept_form| %>
<%= render "courses/concept_fields", :f=>concept_form%>
<% end %>
<p><%= f.link_to_add t("concepts.add"), :concepts %></p>
And inside courses/concept_fields I have:
<%= f.text_field :collection_date, :value => f.object.collection_date, :class => 'text date_picker tabs' %>
The javascript for the datepicker is included in the layout
Is there any way you can help me? Thanks!
Add and click event handler to the button you use to render the next set of fields to reload the datepicker something like:
$('.render_next_button').click(function(){
// code to reload datepicker
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
});
I've found an answer which solved my problem. It's in this link:
jQuery UI DatePicker with nested_forms Gem
Would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('form').live('nested:fieldAdded', function(event) {
jQuery(event.field).find('.date_picker').removeClass('hasDatepicker').datepicker();
});
});
</script>
