How to display category name

i want to display the search item name in search page as heading. (here it is displaying value instead of name)

I am searching through ransack.

My search view

<%= form_tag location_path, :method=>'get' do %> 
<%= select_tag :q, options_from_collection_for_select(Category.all, :id, :name, params[:q]), :class=>"btn1 btn-default1 dropdown-button1 dropdown-toggle"%>
 <input type="submit" value="SEARCH" class="btn1 home-search-button" >
<%end %>

my search controller

def location
    q = params[:q]
    @key = q
    @property = Property.ransack(location_or_category_name_cont: q).result(distinct: true)
  end

MY location.html.erb

HERE IS WHERE I WANT DISPLAY THE PROPERTY NAME as

 <h1>Properties in <%=@key%></h1>

i am getting output like this.

enter image description here

BUT, instead of 2, I want to get output like this Properties in Residential. I have a category table with 3 category with fields id(1 ,2,3) and category_names (residential commericial and Finance.

Any help is appreciatable

Solution

  • Assuming category_name is the column of your categories table:

    @key = Category.find(q).category_name
