Custom button in ActiveAdmin












0















On ActiveAdmin, I have a form like this:
Note that "My thingy" is not on the DB, but calculated with the data from an API.
enter image description here



I want to add a filter for this field. What I'd like is to send this abc text as a parameter to the same edit action in which I am.



enter image description here



My form looks like this:



form do |f|
f.inputs "Details" do
f.input :my_thingy,
label: 'My thingy',
as: :select,
collection: my_thingys,
f.input :my_thingy_filter, label: "Filter My thingy by..."
f.button :filter
end
f.actions
end


What I'd like is for this button to redirect to the same page, with the value of my_thingy_filter as a parameter.



How can I do that?

          I solved this using a member_action:



          member_action :thingy_filter, method: :patch do
          redirect_to edit_thingy_path(resource, thingy_filter: params["thingy"]["thingy_filter"])
          end


          And formaction with the button:



          form do |f|
          f.inputs "Details" do
          f.input :my_thingy,
          label: 'My thingy',
          as: :select,
          collection: my_thingys,
          f.input :my_thingy_filter, label: "Filter My thingy by..."
          f.button "Filter", formaction: "thingy_filter"
          end
          f.actions
          end


          Anyhow, this problem was better solved by adding a better select
