Rails. SmartListing gem doesn't refresh table after destroying item


I have page with table of categories. I'm using SmartListing GEM for sorting data and also I added some buttons for each item in table, including "delete" button.

Problem: after element in the table was deleted, table blinks but doesn't refresh data, so I need to reload hole page to get updated table. (By the way, element removed from the database without problems)

My files look like the files in developer example.


My files:

index and destroy actions in CategoriesController

def index
  @categories = Category.all
  smart_listing_create :categories, @categories,
                       sort_attributes: [
                         [:created_at, 'categories.created_at'],
                         [:updated_at, 'categories.updated_at'],
                         [:name, 'categories.name'],
                         [:calculate, 'categories.issues_count']
                       ],
                       default_sort: { name: 'asc' }, partial: 'category'
end

def destroy
  @category = Category.find(params[:id])
  if @category.issues.empty?
    @category.destroy
    flash[:success] = 'Deleted'
  else
    flash[:alert] = 'Category isn\'t empty!'
  end
end

Solution

  • I found a solution to the problem. It was resolved simply - just had to add to the destroy action line redirect_to action: 'index', status: 303, so this action should look like this:

    def destroy
      @category = Category.find(params[:id])
      if @category.issues.empty?
        @category.destroy
        flash[:success] = 'Deleted'
        redirect_to action: 'index', status: 303
      else
        flash[:alert] = 'Category isn\'t empty!'
      end
    end
