Question

I have a Project Index View that shows all the projects in an app

I want that view to show if the user signed in is a member or not….

In the Project Index View I have:

    <% if teammember? %>
        <td>Request to Join</td>
    <% else %>
        <td>Already Joined</td>
    <% end %>

Then in the project’s controller I have

def teammember(projectid)
 do some stuff.....
end 

But this gives me a “undefined method `teammember?”

Answer 1

You don’t include the teammember method in the controller, you put that in the helper file (app/helpers/project_helper.rb)

module ProjectHelper
  def team_member?(project_id)
    # include other logic here
    true
  end
end

Then in any view that your Project controller renders, you can do:

<% if team_member?(project.id) %>
  This is a team member.
<% else %>
  This isn't a team member.
<% end %>
