Link to the Model element from search results (Chewy, Rails)

Question

I have implemented a search for User model (Elasticsearch using Chewy gem).

views/search/search.html.erb:

<%= form_tag search_path, method: "get" do %>
    <%= label_tag(:q, "Search by name/ surname/ email:") %>
    <%= text_field_tag(:q) %>
    <%= submit_tag("Search") %>
<% end %>

<% @results.each do |r| %>
   <%= r.name %> 
   <%= r.surname %>,
   <%= r.email %>, 
<% end %>

routes.rb:

devise_for :users
resources :users, only: [:show], controller: :profiles

What I need is to add a link to a user for each search result line. (How to connect Chewy users indexes with user pages)

update:

I changed the last paragraph in search.html.erb to:

<% @results.each do |r| %>
<%= link_to r.name, user_path(r) %> 
<%= r.surname %>,
<%= r.email %>, 
<% end %>

The search results are clickable now but I get the following error:

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in ProfilesController#show Couldn't find User with 'id'=#UsersIndex::User:0x007fa1050ebed0>

my profiles_controller.rb:

class ProfilesController < ApplicationController
skip_before_action :authenticate_user!

def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])   //this line gets an error
end
end

Can you clarify your question? Does this have anything to do with chewy, or with elastic search? Do you just need to know how to create a link in a view? — trh, Sep 04 '15 at 13:25

have a look to rake routes which is listing all routes and their names

resources :name is generating all the default routes (where you just specified to make the show_route)

<% @results.each do |r| %>
   <%= link_to r.name, user_path(r.id) %> 
   <%= r.surname %>,
   <%= r.email %>, 
<% end %>

or, maybe more advanced

<% @results.each do |r| %>
   <%= link_to user_path(r.id) do %> 
     <%= r.name %>,
     <%= r.surname %>,
     <%= r.email %>
   <% end %> 
<% end %>

you are throwing the id of the result into the user_path() helper, which will genreate /user/12

if u click on the liink the url is /user/1337 - so thats going into profiles_controller and the action is "def show". – Tim Kretschmer Sep 04 '15 at 13:50

so lets face it. you asked for the link to model and we answered. obviously you need to change to user_path(r.id) or in your model override def to_params – Tim Kretschmer Sep 04 '15 at 13:54
