Remote form opens all other remote forms on the page

44 views Asked by At

I have a user dashboard controller with multiple remote forms inside the same view for the user to update misc attributes:

class CustomerDashboardController < ApplicationController
  def settings
  end
end
//settings.html.erb
<div class="info__item">
  <p class="info-item__heading">Name: <%= link_to "Edit", "", class: "info-edit__link", id: "user-edit__name", remote: true %></p>
</div>

<div class="info__item">
  <p class="info-item__heading">Email: <%= link_to "Edit", "", class: "info-edit__link", id: "user-edit__Email", remote: true %></p>
</div>

The jquery ujs triggers exist in a *.js.erb file, with it's name matching the appropriate action/view template that the forms are contained in:

//customer-dashboard/settings.js.erb
$('#user-edit__name').hide().after('<%= j render("user-edit-name-form") %>');
$('#user-edit__address').hide().after('<%= j render("user-edit-address-form") %>');

Each of the forms renders and updates the attributes correctly, However when clicking on a single link with remote: true, it renders every single form partial on the page simultaneously instead of just the single partial related to that link with unique id: ""

By @NM Pennypacker's suggestion, I came to a solution by skipping using remote: true altogether and just using Javascript to toggle the visibility of the multiple form partials instead.

My javascript solution:

  allEditButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.info-edit__link');

  const showFormListener = event => {
    event.preventDefault();
    toggleAdjacentFormVisibility(event);
  };

  allEditButtons.forEach(element => {
    element.addEventListener('click', showFormListener);
  });

  function toggleAdjacentFormVisibility(event) {
    event.target.parentElement.nextElementSibling.classList.toggle(
      'info__is-not-visible'
    );
    event.target.parentElement.nextElementSibling.nextElementSibling.classList.toggle(
      'info__is-visible'
    );
  }

The view:

  <div class="info__item">
      <p class="info-item__heading">Email: <%= link_to "Edit", "", class: "info-edit__link" %></p>

      <p class="info-item__info">
        <%= @user.email %>
      </p>

      <div class="info-item__form-container">
        <%= render ('user-edit-email-form') %>
   </div>

    </div>

  <div class="info__item">
      <p class="info-item__heading">Email: <%= link_to "Edit", "", class: "info-edit__link" %></p>

      <p class="info-item__info">
        <%= @user.phone %>
      </p>

      <div class="info-item__form-container">
        <%= render ('user-edit-phone-form') %>
      </div>

    </div>

CSS:

  .info__is-visible {
    display: block;
  }
  .info__is-not-visible {
    display: none;
  }
