Rails

Hi,

How do we deal with database entries in ruby?
I wanted to return a list of records from a model func to controller.
Please help me.

You are expecting data_pair to be an object of type DataPair, with a
name
attribute. However, it’s not - it’s a string. Maybe you could post a
gist
of the get_app_pairs method and the template and we can help further.

Im a beginner in ROR. Can someone help me out ?

Have a look at the Rails Guide on Debugging for techniques you can use
to debug your code. Also you say that you are a beginner. If you
have not already done so then work right through some tutorials on
Rails. railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online.

As I said in reply to your previous post work through some tutorials
such as railstutorial.org. These will give you a grasp of the
fundamentals of Rails.

I’m not sure if this fixes your problem but anyone can correct me if I’m
wrong – I think when you call DataPair.all you get an array of all the
DataPairs so essentially you should be doing this after:

<? @data_par.each do |data_pair| ?> <?= data_pair.name ?> <? end ?>
