How do I make the star ratings retain the value when I edit a review?

Question

I'm using the jquery raty star rating system and it worked. Except that when I edit a review for example that has 4 stars, the edit page shows 0 stars. Should this how the jquery raty behaves?

Or is there a way that when I edit that review, the edit page will still retain the 4 stars but still can edit?

This is my code for edit page:

<%= simple_form_for([@book, @review]) do |f| %>
    <div id="rating-form">
        <label>Rating</label>
    </div>
    <%= f.input :comment %>
    <%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>


<script>
    $('#rating-form').raty({
        path: '/assets/',
        scoreName: 'review[rating]'
    });
</script>

First, you can do this: review.surf_school = surf_school review.user = current_user — Terry Raimondo, Feb 03 '16 at 11:21
I don't see the problem here. Can you paste the posted params please ? `puts params.inspect` — Terry Raimondo, Feb 03 '16 at 11:24
just put puts params.inspect at the top of your method create :). — Terry Raimondo, Feb 03 '16 at 11:37

You just have to add an option. Try this:

 $('#div-rating').raty({
    path: '/assets/',
    scoreName: 'review[rating]',
    score: @review.rating
 });

You can read the documentation here to know the list of options: https://github.com/wbotelhos/raty#options

Yes exactly, it should return the rating. If not, you have to check why it is not saving in database – Terry Raimondo Feb 03 '16 at 10:57
But before I used the raty, it retained the rating. – Jeramae Bohol Feb 03 '16 at 11:01
First, try to set a @review.rating to 3 or 4 in your rails c and see if it is visually correct when you try to edit. If you want to know why it is not saving, print the post params you send to your controller – Terry Raimondo Feb 03 '16 at 11:10
How is the JS picking up `@review`? – Richard Peck Feb 03 '16 at 12:32

you need to enter the following- score: <%= @review.rating %>. It worked for me. :)

<script>
    $('#rating-form').raty({
        path: '/assets/',
        scoreName: 'review[rating]',
        score: <%= @review.rating %>
    });
</script>
