Ajax not rendering the partial in rails application

Question

Ajax partial is not rendering in my rails application.

I am having an Article model. I am trying to add new articles using Ajax

Please find the code below.

cart.html.erb

<div id="articles">
  <%= render 'showarticles' %>
</div>

cart.js.erb

$('#articles').html('<%= escape_javascript(render('static_pages/showarticles')) %>');
$('.form-control').val('')

routes.rb

match 'cart/:id', to: 'static_pages#cart', via: [:get, :post]

_showarticles.html.erb

<%= form_for @article, :remote => true do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :name, :class => "form-control" %>
<% end %>    
<% @art.each do |a| %>
<%= a.name %>
<% end %>

static_pages_controller.rb

def cart
  @art = Article.all
  @article = Article.new 
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html 
    format.js
  end
end

Thanks!

@japed : This is how I triggered the cart action: redirect_to action: 'cart', controller: 'static_pages', id: cart.id — webster

@japed: I am having a Cart controller. So after creating a Cart it redirects to the Cart page in the Create action of the controller. — webster

I was able to fix the issue by adding this line to my routes.rb file:

match 'cart', to: 'static_pages#cart', via: [:get, :post]

Ok,

so this

<%= form_for @article, :remote => true do |f| %>
<%= f.text_area :name, :class => "form-control" %>
<% end %>    
<% @art.each do |a| %>
<%= a.name %>
<% end %>

Will go to the articles create method. Which is why your cart.js.erb isn't called. Either set the url <%= form_for @article, :url => url_for(:controller => 'static_pages, :action => 'cart', :id => @cart.id), :remote => true do |f| %> or preferably handle it in the create action of your articles controller
