Rails form_tag remote example

Question

I have this incredible simple form:

<%= form_tag(\"/portal/search\", method: \'get\', remote: true ) do %>

  <%= label_tag(:query, \'Search for:\')         


        

Answer 1

Let's say you get @results out of your search method.

In the controller, search method:

respond_to do |format|
  format.html {render or redirect_to wherever you need it}
  format.js 
end

Then all you need is a file named search.js.erb to run the required js at the end of your request. It might look something like:

$('#results_div').html("<%= j @results.pluck(:title).join('
') %>")
