i'm using this for "episodes" instead of "movies" so i have:

json.episodes do
json.array!(@episodes) do |episode|
json.title "Ep #{episode.episode}: #{episode.title}"
json.icon "#{episode.podcast.logo}"
json.url episode_path(episode)
end
end

json.podcasts do
json.array!(@podcasts) do |podcast|
json.title "#{podcast.title}"
json.icon "#{podcast.logo}"
json.url podcast_path(podcast)
end
end

and my search.js adds template function as well:

window.addEventListener("load", function() {
$input = $("[data-behavior='autocomplete']")

var options = {
getValue: "title",
url: function(phrase) {
return "/search.json?q=" + phrase;
},
categories: [
{
listLocation: "episodes",
header: "Episodes",
},
{
listLocation: "podcasts",
header: "Podcasts",
}
],
template: {
type: "iconLeft",
fields: {
iconSrc: "icon"
}
},
theme: "blue-light",
list: {
onChooseEvent: function() {
var url = $input.getSelectedItemData().url
$input.val("")
window.location = (url)
},
showAnimation: {
type: "fade",
time: 300,
callback: function() {}
},
hideAnimation: {
type: "fade",
time: 300,
callback: function() {}
},
}
}

$input.easyAutocomplete(options)
});

if you're not using turbolinks (which i'm not), replace search.js with:

window.addEventListener("load", function() {
$input = $("[data-behavior='autocomplete']")

var options = {
getValue: "title",
url: function(phrase) {
return "/search.json?q=" + phrase;
},
categories: [
{
listLocation: "movies",
header: "Movies",
},
{
listLocation: "directors",
header: "Directors",
}
],
list: {
onChooseEvent: function() {
var url = $input.getSelectedItemData().url
$input.val("")
window.location = (url)
}
}
}

$input.easyAutocomplete(options)
});

Nevermind, problem solved. Instead of doing order(created_at: :desc), i did order("likes.created_at desc") and now they are sorted by the like date instead of the post date. Thanks!

That's what I'm doing...I have current_user.liked_posts.order(created_at: :desc) and it shows the correct posts liked by the user BUT they are ordered by the created_at date of the posts, not the likes.

I've been playing with joins but can't seem to find the answer: I can displayed a user's liked posts (current.user.liked_posts.each do) but they are sorted by the creation date of the post. How can I sort by the like.created_at date?

How would this be handled if we only want the user to see their own comments, but not anyone else's?

That's what I did but it works when the code is inline in the view itself not when referenced as a partial.

A follow-up question...the "like" button works in my show action as that does use @book, but when going through the for each statement above, it will not work as the variable is no longer @book but book. Is there a workaround to this?

Just what I needed, thanks Chris! I did go through the has_many documentation for rails and had to change class_name: "Book" to to source: :books though to avoid the to_sym error I was getting. Now I just need to figure out how to make the buttons load via ajax, that only works in the show action. Keep up the awesome work!

Been looking for a way to do this for a while, great episode...now how would I list all the all the posts that a user has liked? For example, I can do something like this:
<ul>
<%= current_user.owns(@book).each do |book| %>
<li><%= book.id.to_s %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>

...but alas this only shows me the own.id whereas I would like it to show me, for example the book.title. Also, this works with the show action, but in my index it doesn't as I have set up a <% @book.each do |title| %>. I can place the code inline, replacing @book with title but then my ajax button change is rendered useless. I'm fairly new to Rails so any ideas would be welcome!
