I'm trying to have a search form at the header of every web page that will search through the names of all my "products"
I tried to implement ransack gem, but I am not getting the products filtered results. Through my below code, it just fetches all the products in database and displays. I want to display only searched products.
# routes.rb
resources :product do
collection do
match 'search' => 'products#search', via: [:get, :post], as: :search
end
end
# application.controller.rb
before_filter :set_global_search_variable
def set_global_search_variable
@q = Product.search(params[:q])
@product_search = @q.result
end
# application.html.erb
<% search_form_for(@q, url: /search, method: :get) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :name %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
# search_index.erb
<% @product_search.each do |product| %>
<%= image_tag product.image_url %>
<%= product.name %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
view code
= search_form_for @product_searcher || Product.ransack, url: main_app.admin_products_path do |f|
controller code
def index
params[:q] ||= { }
@product_searcher = Product.ransack(params[:q])
@products = @product_searcher.result
end
