Passing javascript variables to rails controller

Question

Here is the problem i\'m stuck on. I want to pass the javascript variables to the rails controller.

Answer 1

Ajax code in jQuery:

$("#submit_button").submit(function(event) {

  /* stop form from submitting normally */
   event.preventDefault();

  /* get values from elements on the page: */
   var mdate = $('#mdate').val();
   var phone = $('#phone').val();

  /* Send the data using post and put the results in a div */
    $.ajax({
      url: "/BookCreate/?mdate="+mdate+"&phone="+phone,
      type: "post",
      data: values,
      success: function(){
        alert('Saved Successfully');
      },
      error:function(){
       alert('Error');
      }
    });
});

Routes : ( As I am assuming your controller name is book )

match '/BookCreate', to: 'book#create'

For this you have to add jquery file to your code or this link
