Pass param to controller

[pawlarius]

How to pass parameter from form in datatable.rb?

I keep getting error : undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
I checked the params somehow always return to nil

Is there any specific way to pass params in this?
i tried #59 (comment)

well, you a tring to user view_context in datatable which is not possible becase the context is available on in controller.

You can try to do form from a helper method and add to datatable .rb file whit a delegator

What you want here is Rails button_to helper method : https://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper/button_to. But anyway use it is a Draper decorator (https://github.com/drapergem/draper) so in the Datatable class you can do :

def data
  records.map do |record|
    {
      foo: record.decorate.name
      bar: record.decorate.publish_button
    }
  end
end

BTW, remove datatable = PostDatatable.new... from post_datatable.rb.
This is how it works : https://github.com/jbox-web/ajax-datatables-rails#setup-the-controller-action

Also it won't work if you're using Rails in API mode : #240
