Question

Lets say I have a Product model and my controller allows the creation of 5 new products all at once. What I do right now is render back to the same page but what I want to do is also render in the flash which products have been created. So it would say:

Successfully created: Milk, Soup, Cheese, Bread, Candy

instead of

Successfully created Products

How would this be done?

Answer 1

Something like this should work:

redirect_to :back, notice: "Succesfully created: #{@created_products.map(&:name).join(', ')}"

Assuming @created_products is an array of the products you just created and they each have an attribute called name.

Oh and of course you need this in your html:

<div class="notice"><%= notice %></div>
