Posted in Displaying search results from an API
I am working on a small project where users can search through an API (https://github.com/games-directory/api-giantbomb) via a search bar. However, nothing is displaying on my index page with the results.
Here is my controller:
class GamesController < ApplicationController
def index
if params[:query].present?
sql_query = "name LIKE :query"
@games = Game.where(sql_query, query: "%#{params[:query]}%")
else
flash[:notice] = "No Games Found"
end
end
def search
@games = GiantBomb::Search.new().query(params[:query]).resources('game').limit(5).fetch
render 'index'
end
private
def game_params
params.require(:game).permit(:name, :search, :query)
end
end
My index renders after a search, but the results aren't there. Here is my index page:
<% @games.each do |game| %>
<% end %>
What needs to be changed with my index function to display the data, or is the issue somewhere else?
