I’m new to ruby and just trying to toech myself ruby on rails. I’ve
got a shopping cart and I need to be able te specify product quantity
while in the cart. I have succefully created a link to incriment the
quantity but I would like to be able to grab a number from a
text_field and use it as the new quantity. The incriment feature is
implimented as follows:
This is in my view:
<%= link_to("(add)", :action
=> :update_cart, :id => product.id) %>
This is in my store controller:
def update_cart
product = Product.find(params[:id])
@cart.update_product(product)
flash[:notice] = “Item quantity has been updated”
redirect_to(:action => :display_cart)
end
This is in my cart class:
def update_product(product)
item = @items.find {|i| i.product_id == product.id}
item.quantity += 1
@total_price += product.price
@total_shipping += product.shipping
end
I’m clueless here and could really use some help. TIA
