ruby on rails - how do i get the id of the selected item in dropdown -


<%= form_for(:offer,:url=>{:controller=>'offers',:action=>'combo'}) |f|%>

<%= f.select :catid_get, options_from_collection_for_select(@categories, "id", "name"), prompt: "select category" %>

i new in rails.i have dropdown categories there.when select category dropdown want category id in controller,so can use id it's child dropdown.

select

each select option in html has 2 values -- value , label:

<select>   <option value="volvo">volvo</option>   <option value="saab">saab</option>   <option value="mercedes">mercedes</option>   <option value="audi">audi</option> </select>

it's value passed controller. means if able create select tag in rails app correct value / label setup, pass correct data require.

rails

here's how i'd handle it:

<%= form_for :offer, offers_combo_path |f|%>    <%= f.collection_select :cat_id, @categories, :id, :name, prompt: "select category" %>

this pass following params categories_controller:

#app/controllers/categories_controller.rb class categoriescontroller < applicationcontroller    def combo       params[:offer][:cat_id]    end end

recommendation

i'd recommend use form_tag helper this, rather form_for. reason being form_for activerecord objects, , although can use :symbols in helper, need use less elaborate system

i'd replace form_for following:

<%= form_tag offer_combo_path %>   <%= collection_select :cat_id, @categories, :id, :name, prompt: "select category" %> <% end %>

http://codepad.org/wmyzqlis i'd merge these 2 arrays: a = { :a => 'a', :b => 'b', :d => 'd' } b = { :a => '1', :b => 'b', :c => 'c' } into hash looks this: {:a => ["a", "1"], :b => ["b", "b"], :c => [nil, "c"], :d => ["d", nil] } this doesn't work: p a.merge(b) { |k, v1, v2| [v1, v2] } # {:c=>"c", :a=>["a", "1"], :b=>["b", "b"], :d=>"d"} it's because hash#merge call block duplicate keys. a = { :a => 'a', :b => 'b', :d => 'd' } b = { :a => '1', :b => 'b', :c => 'c' } hash[(a.keys|b.keys).map { |key| [key, [a.fetch(key, nil), b.fetch(key, nil)]] }] # => {:a=>["a", "1"], :b=>["b", "b"], :d=>["d", nil], :c=>...
