Question

I know that the after the create or update methods is done, they have the method like this

respond_to do |format|
  format.js 
end

Since I change my form from remote form to non remote form, so I won’t use the format.js anymore, I just want to refresh the page, after the user create/update a product, so I have this code:

respond_to do |format|
  page.reload
end

But it don’t work, so I try not to use respond_to do, I only have the page.reload. But it also show me the site like this:

http://localhost:3000/products/50

I just want to reload the page after I create/update, why I can’t do it in this way?

Answer 1

The reload method reloads the browser’s current location using JavaScript. I would suggest that you probably want to do a server-side redirect after creating or updating your resource. Something like one of these alternatives:

redirect_to product_path(@product) # Redirect to the 'show' page for the product
redirect_to products_path          # Redirect to the products' index page
