Problem with remote Button method post to redirect in controller-CodePudding

My problem: When place is not present controller does not redirect to the route i want.

I have a link_to , check_payer post route

<%= link_to "Click here", check_path, method: :post, remote: true %>

this methods verify if place is present and if true is not redirecting to other_path

CodePudding user response：

Because of remote: true the request will come in as xhr and render check_payer.js.erb. This .js.erb contains something that the browser knows how to interpret/execute.

In your scenario when the redirect happens, the browser doesn't know what to do with the response. If you open the browser console (or Inspector) in Network tab you will see it makes a redirect to billings_path.

To handle both scenarios you need to handle everything inside check_payer.js.erb.

# check_payer.js.erb

<% if @place.present? %>
  window.location = "<%= billings_path %>"
<% else %>
  $('#modal-check-payer').find(".modal-content").html("<%= j render partial:'place_billing_infos/check_payer_modal' %>");
  $("#modal-check-payer").modal();
<% end %>
