Access ruby array in javascript
I want to access a Ruby array in javascript. Please tell me the method to do that. My array is holding the result of a sql query.
@contacts = Contact.order("contacts.position ASC")
I am trying to do this....
for(var i=0; i< a; i++)
{
var firstnameV = "<%=Contact.order('contacts.position ASC')[i].first_name%>";
var lastnameV = "<%=Contact.order('contacts.position ASC')[i].last_name%>";
var emailV = "<%=Contact.order('contacts.position ASC')[i].email%>";
var contactV = parseInt("<%=Contact.order('contacts.position ASC')[i].contact_no%>";
var posV = parseInt("&开发者_JS百科lt;%=Contact.order('contacts.position ASC')[i].position%>";
tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO contact_table (firstname, lastname, email, contact, pos)
VALUES (firstnameV,lastnameV, emailV, contactV, posV)');
}
Quick example of how you can render the value of Ruby variable to JavaScript. Add <%= yield :head %> to head tag in views/layouts/application.html.erb
. Then in views/contacts/index.erb
(or whatever view you use) add the following:
<%content_for :head do %>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
alert("First contact in database is <%=Contact.order('contacts.position ASC').first.name%>")
}
</script>
<%end%>
This will alert the first contact name from your database.
You can do this by using the
to_json
method in Ruby
or
render :json => @contacts
Ruby is server side language. JavaScript is mostly (server side also - e.g. node.js) client side. If you want to pass values from Ruby to JS, you could render that value as part of view in script
tags or retrieve them via AJAX.
