I have been searching for a while and yet I am not able to find a satisfactory answer as yet. I have two apps. FrontApp and BackApp. FrontApp has an active-resource which mimics a model in BackApp. All the model level validations live in BackApp and I need to handle those BackApp validations in FrontApp.
I have following active-resource code:
class RemoteUser < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = SITE
self.format = :json
self.element_name = "user"
end
This mimics a model which is as follows
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :username, :password
validates_presence_of :username
validates_presence_of :password
end
Whenever I create a new RemoteUser in front app; I call .save on it. for example:
user = RemoteSession.new(:username => "user", :password => "")
user.save
However, since the password is blank, I need to pass back the errors to FrontApp from BackApp. This is not happening. I just don't understand how to do that successfully. This must be a common in开发者_如何学Ctegration scenario; but there doesn't seem to be a good documentation for it?
My restful controller that acts as a proxy is as follows:
class UsersController < ActionController::Base
def create
respond_to do |format|
format.json do
user = User.new(:username => params[:username], :password => params[:password])
if user.save
render :json => user
else
render :json => user.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity
end
end
end
end
end
What is it that I am missing? Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers
From rails source code I figured out that the reason ActiveResource didn't get errors was because I wasn't assigning errors to "errors" tag in json. It's undocumented but required. :)
So my code should have been:
render :json => {:errors => user.errors}, :status => :unprocessable_entity
In the code:
class UsersController < ActionController::Base
def create
respond_to do |format|
format.json do
user = User.new(:username => params[:username], :password => params[:password])
if user.save
render :json => user
else
render :json => user.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity
end
end
end
end
end
try to replace
user = User.new(:username => params[:username], :password => params[:password])
with
user = User.new(params[:user])
Your active-resource model pass the params like the hash above:
:user => { :username => "xpto", :password => "yst" }
This solution worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10051362/311744
update action:
def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
format.html { redirect_to @user, notice: 'User was successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :no_content }
else
format.html { render action: 'edit' }
format.json {
render json: @user.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Calling controller:
@remote_user = RemoteUser.find(params[:id])
if (@remote_user.update_attributes(params[:remote_user]))
redirect_to([:admin, @remote_user], notice: 'Remote user was successfully updated.')
else
flash[:error] = @remote_user.errors.full_messages
render action: 'edit'
end
