richguk / jquery-star-rating-rails Goto Github PK

I'd like to use this potentially, but the documentation doesn't really seem to be there... and I'm pretty terrible at figuring such out from the code alone... any tips to getting started? If I have Users and I have Products, I'd like Users to be able to leave ratings on Products for example...

I created a very simple application to see how it works. The problem I could see is that every time I have to reload a page to display rating stars, if not, the radio buttons are displayed instead.

Here is my versions:

• Rails 4.0.0
• ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0]
• gem 'jquery-star-rating-rails', '~> 4.0.4'

Here is how ratings are declared in the view:

<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
  <% if @user.errors.any? %>
    <div id="error_explanation">
      <h2><%= pluralize(@user.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this user from being saved:</h2>

      <ul>
      <% @user.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
        <li><%= msg %></li>
      <% end %>
      </ul>
    </div>
  <% end %>

  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :name %><br>
    <%= f.text_field :name %>
  </div>
  <div class="field">
    <%= f.label :experience %><br>
    <% User.notation_range.each do |star| %>
      <%= f.radio_button :experience, star, {class: "star" } %>

    <% end %>

  </div>
  <div class="actions">
    <%= f.submit %>
  </div>
<% end %>

User model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  def self.notation_range
      (0..5)
  end
end    

Declarations of query-star_rating js (application.js)

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require jquery-star-rating
//= require_tree . 

Declarations of query-star_rating css (application.css):

 *= require_self 
 *= require jquery-star-rating
 *= require_tree .
 */        

All the stuff was generated by a simple scaffold generator, so there is nothing special.
Any idea ? Thnx.

Hi RichGuk,

As the plugin is using $.browser, there is a bug with jquery 1.9, could you update ?

Can you please improve the Usage area in the Readme file?

I believe for Rails 3.1 by default it uses Coffeescript and SCSS.

For example, if our controller is called Projects:

In projects.js.coffee, add the line
//= require jquery-star-rating

In projects.css.scss, add the line
/*
*= require jquery-star-rating
*/

In our view (e.g. new.html.erb) add the "star" class to your radio buttons:
<%= f.label :rating, "Rating" %>
<%= f.radio_button :rating, "1", :class => "star" %>
<%= f.radio_button :rating, "2", :class => "star" %>
<%= f.radio_button :rating, "3", :class => "star" %>
<%= f.radio_button :rating, "4", :class => "star" %>
<%= f.radio_button :rating, "5", :class => "star" %>

Should jquery.MetaData be included with this gem?
