Rails%203%20In%20Action

Managing states
Right, so you need to create the create action too, which you define inside
Admin::StatesController as shown in the following listing.
Listing 10.24 app/controllers/admin/states_controller.rb
def create
@state = State.new(params[:state])
if @state.save
flash[:notice] = "State has been created."
redirect_to admin_states_path
else
flash[:alert] = "State has not been created."
render :action => "new"
end
end
With the create action defined in your Admin::StatesController, you’ll now be able
to run bin/cucumber features/creating_states.feature and have it pass:
1 scenario (1 passed)
8 steps (8 passed)
Very good! By implementing a feature that lets the admin users of your site create
states, you’ve provided a base to build the other state features upon. You shouldn’t
have broken anything by these changes but it won’t hurt to run rake cucumber:ok
spec to make sure. You should see the following summaries:
50 scenarios (50 passed)
571 steps (571 passed)
# and
25 examples, 0 failures, 9 pending
Good to see everything’s still working. Commit and push this now:
git add .
git commit -m "Added Admin::StatesController for managing states"
git push
With this base defined, you can move on to more exciting things than CRUD, such as
defining a default state for your tickets.
10.4.2 Defining a default state
A default state for the tickets in your application will provide a sensible way of grouping
tickets that are new to the system, making it easier for them to be found. The easiest
way to track which state is the default state is to add a boolean column called
default to your states table, which is set to true if the state is the default, false if not.
To get started, you write a feature that covers changing the default status. At the end
of this feature, you end up with the default field in the states table, and then you can
move on to making the tickets default to this state. Let’s create a new feature called features/managing_states.feature
and fill it with the content from the following listing.
