I have a Rails application where I try to write code into an string:
<% @diagnoses.each do |f| %>
<a href="#" data-dropdown="drop#{f.id}" class=" tiny button dropdown expand">"#{f.beschreibung}"</a><br>
But somehow the "drop#{f.id}" and the "#{f.beschreibung}" are not written as a variable.
What am I doing wrong and why?
you are most probably in an erb template so you have to do the following
<a href="#" data-dropdown="drop<%= f.id %>" class="tiny button dropdown expand">
<%= f.beschreibung %>
</a>
If you're writing this in a view, you need to use <%= %> and make sure the file has the .erb extension
you code should be
<a href="#" data-dropdown="drop<%= f.id %>" class=" tiny button dropdown expand">"<%= f.beschreibung %>"</a><br>
You are missing <%= %>. However, I'd use the link_to helper:
<% @diagnoses.each do |f| %>
<%= link_to f.beschreibung, "#", data: {dropdown: "drop#{1}"}, class: "tiny button dropdown expand" %>
<% end %>
