Question

I have a form below displayed on /parties and would like to take whatever a user inputs in this form and add it to the url. I.e. if they searched for “hello” they would be redirected to parties/hello

    <h1>Search for a Party</h1><br>
    <%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"}) do %>
        <%= label_tag :q, "Enter Playlist Code:" %>
        <%= text_field_tag(:q) %>
        <%= submit_tag("Find Playlist", :name => "submit") %>
    <% end %>

What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

The logic would go into the PartyController.

Something like this in (syntax may be a little off):

PartyController.rb

def search
    result = params[:q]
    redirect_to '/parties/' + result
end
