NoMethodError in Contacts#edit
Hi all, I am new to Ruby as well as Rails
I am working my way through a treehouse course and I have hit a bit of an obstacle.
This is what my routes file looks like
I am working my way through a treehouse course and I have hit a bit of an obstacle.
This is what my routes file looks like
Rails.application.routes.draw do # For details on the DSL available within this file, see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html get '/contacts/:id/edit', to: 'contacts#edit' get '/contacts', to: 'contacts#index', as: 'home' get '/contacts/new', ato: 'contacts#new', as: 'new' get '/contacts/:id', to: 'contacts#show', as: 'shows' post '/contacts', to: 'contacts#create' end
the method in the controller is as follows
def edit
@contact = Contact.find(params[:id])
endand this is what the edit.html.erb file looks like
<%= form_for(@contact) do |c| %>
<div>
<%= c.label 'First Name' %>
<%= c.text_field :fname %>
</div>
<div>
<%= c.label 'Last Name' %>
<%= c.text_field :lname %>
</div>
<div>
<%= c.label :number %>
<%= c.text_field :number %>
</div>
<div>
<%= c.submit %>
</div>
<% end %>as is this will result in the following when I I try to load the edit page (example: http://localhost:3000/contacts/1/edit)
NoMethodError in Contacts#editShowing
/Users/donovanneethling/Ruby/addressbook/app/views/contacts/edit.html.erbwhere line #1raised:undefined method `contact_path' for #<#<Class:0x007fca54438cf0>:0x007fca57e82a78> Did you mean? contacts_path
However when I amend the edit route as follows
get '/contacts/:id/edit', to: 'contacts#edit', as: 'contact'
the page loads correctly.
Would someone be able to explain this to me, I am guessing it has something to do with form_for...
