How to mention partial file name inside escape_javascript in ruby on rails?










0















I was using the code in https://kernelgarden.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/dynamic-select-boxes-in-rails-4/ to implement a cascading dropdown.



It works like a charm



However, I would like to be able to mention the partial file name in my coffee script:



# app/views/welcome/update_cities.js.coffee

$("#cities_select").empty()
.append("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => @cities)) %>")



  1. How do I do that?
    It tried doing this, but it did not work:



    $("#cities_select").empty()
    .append("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => "city", :object => @cities)) %>")


    What am I doing wrong here?



  2. How does Rails know to call _city.html.erb? I don't understand the connection!


Please help!

    "it did not work" .... in what way did it not work. Are there error messages, any stack trace, or does it simply not do what you expected?

  • I did not get any error messages. Both the drop-down were displayed, but when I changed the selection on the first drop-down, it did not trigger a change in the values in the second drop-down.

    You're using double quotes for "city" and it's closing the global string. Try using single ones

  • I assume you have a change event handler for the first drop-down ... could you include the code for that in your question.

    Check this guide guides.rubyonrails.org/… it explains how rails finds the name of the partial from the object class, how to render partials for a collection, etc.
