I've spent some time on trying to add function of uploading, posting and displaying images in my application. I've tried different methods, eventually finding out that 'Trix' is what I need to reach that goal. The issue here is that my application structure is quite different from those that I see in 'trix' tutorials, and I have no idea what I am doing :(((
Let's start from the fact that my application.js is located in ->
[app]>
-[javascript]
-[packs]
-application.js
and looks very different from what I see in tutorials. However, I tried to adapt like so -
...
require("@rails/ujs").start()
require("turbolinks").start()
require("@rails/activestorage").start()
require("channels")
require('trix')
...
Instead of writing //= require trix.
Another slight difference is that my "application.css" is not ".scss", but I figured it is not that big of a deal. So I went ahead and pasted *= require trix in there.
At first , when I loaded page I've got an error couldn't find file 'trix' with type 'text/css' , but after restarting server it wasn't there anymore (which is normal). Next step would be adding the code ... but it seems that most people have _form.html.erb. And here is where I need help. my "Post" structure is like this ->
[views]>
- edit.html.erb
- index.html.erb
- new.html.erb
- show.html.erb
where new.html.erb contains the form for submitting a post ->
<div class="main posts-new">
<div class="container">
<h1 class="form-heading">Create a new post</h1>
<%= form_tag("/posts/create") do %>
<div class="form">
<div class="form-body">
<% @post.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>
<div class="form-error">
<%= message %>
</div>
<% end %>
<textarea name="content"><%= @post.content %></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Post">
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
This is where the difference really confuses me... Where do I add 'trix' ? I've tried replacing textarea with trix-editor, the only changes I've got , where two small overlapping squares instead of submit form. Help. :(
