9.4 Playtime 9.2 Iteration D2: Connecting Products to Carts
Now we connect the model objects we created to the controller and the view.
Add the button, connecting it to the Line Item Controller, passing the product id.
edit app/views/store/index.html.erb
<% if notice %>
<p id="notice"><%= notice %></p>
<% end %>
<h1>Your Pragmatic Catalog</h1>
<% @products.each do |product| %>
<div class="entry">
<%= image_tag(product.image_url) %>
<h3><%= product.title %></h3>
<%= sanitize(product.description) %>
<div class="price_line">
<span class="price"><%= number_to_currency(product.price) %></span>
<%= button_to 'Add to Cart', line_items_path(product_id: product) %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
Add a bit of style to make it show all on one line
edit app/assets/stylesheets/store.css.scss
p, div.price_line {
margin-left: 100px;
margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.8em;
form, div {
display: inline;
}
}

CoffeeScript is JavaScript done right. It provides all of JavaScript's functionality wrapped in a cleaner, more succinct syntax. In the first book on this exciting new language, CoffeeScript guru Trevor Burnham shows you how to hold onto all the power and flexibility of JavaScript while writing clearer, cleaner, and safer code.
Ruby is the fastest growing and most exciting dynamic language out there. If you need to get working programs delivered fast, you should add Ruby to your toolbox.
Rails Test Prescriptions is a comprehensive guide to testing Rails applications, covering Test-Driven Development from both a theoretical perspective (why to test) and from a practical perspective (how to test effectively). It covers the core Rails testing tools and procedures for Rails 2 and Rails 3, and introduces popular add-ons, including Cucumber, Shoulda, Machinist, Mocha, and Rcov.
Update the LineItem.new call to use current_cart and the product id. Additionally change the logic so that redirection upon success goes to the cart instead of the line item.
edit app/controllers/line_items_controller.rb
def create
@cart = current_cart
product = Product.find(params[:product_id])
@line_item = @cart.line_items.build(product: product)
respond_to do |format|
if @line_item.save
format.html { redirect_to @line_item.cart,
notice: 'Line item was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: @line_item,
status: :created, location: @line_item }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: @line_item.errors,
status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Try it once, and see that the output isn't very useful yet.
