Ransack: How can I use a checkbox for including a scope with ransack? Raw

[tagrudev]

Hello guys/girls I am trying to use a search_form_for and ransack scope but it doesn't seem to work
I have a product model

class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :active, -> { where(active: true)}

  def self.ransackable_scopes(auth_object = nil)
    [:active]
  end
end

In my controller:

class ProductsController < BaseController
  def example
    @q = Product.ransack(params[:q])
    @products = @q.result.page(params[:page])
  end
end

how can I use a search form with a checkbox
that would include or exclude the desired active scope ? I've tried the code below but it doesn't seem to work

= search_form_for @q, url: products_example_path do |f|
  = f.check_box :active

include or exclude the desired active scope

Do you mean true => Product.active and false => Product.all? Or do you want active vs. inactive exclusively?

Ransack can pass params to your scope if they come as an array. So, something like this is possible:

scope :active, ->(yes=true) { where(active: yes) }
# so you can do Product.active(true) and Product.active(false)
Product.search(active: [true])
Product.search(active: [false])

If Ransack receives the scope params as an array, it passes that through. (Note there are some issues with type conversion though, see #509)

I would like to do what the original question is asking here. Which is a checkbox to either apply or not the scope. Is that possible with ransack?

Yes, use true, nil as the check box values

        = f.check_box :active, {}, "true", nil
