How to generate an expiry link in rails for edit page

I have generated a mailer functionality. I need to generate an expiry link on a mail (for the edit page for one of my models). I just need to add the expiry link in the template. How would I do that? Can anyone help me?

In mailer.template

<h5>edit startup</h5>

 <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_booking_url(@booking)%>



Messages Mailer

class MessagesMailer < ApplicationMailer

 def send_email(booking_users)

  @booking_users = User.includes(:roles).where(roles: {:id=> 2})

  mail(to: "penny12@gmail.com")

 end

end



To get the booking id I have called this mailer in the booking model

  def booking_email

    @booking = Booking.find(self.id)

    BookingMailer.send_email.deliver

  end

This is only possible for AWS attachment url by paperclip using paperclip or carrierwave gem functionality where timestamp token is passed. :D

You can still achieve what you wanted in following way

Case-1: You are mailing link and you want to give access to edit link for 20 (expiry time) min.

When you will mail, set expiry_date column in object as Time.now + 20.minute So when he will click then he will get redirected from edit action if he had crossed expiry_date datetime column.

Case-2: Above case-1 is not your intention & you want to expire user if he is passing expiry time to fill edit form.

So for above, when user click edit url through mail got (set expiry_date to Time.now + 20.minute), he will be redirected to edit form. When he will submit form and action create/update is called. It will redirect him another page without updating form.

Additional feature & conditions are needed to be added as per your cases.

Update: as per asked

When user click edit link, in edit action set expiry_date to Time.now + 1.day

In Update action, redirect if expiry_date is passed, otherwise update data.

When re-trigger mail action, set expiry_date to nil.

Above will meet your requirement.

@Penny Yes :) But when you want to reset expiration for his edit action again? 1. when he click edit link in mail again or 2. when you will mail link again ??

– ray

@roy when he click the edit link in the mail , he should have 24HOURS time to edit it , later it should expire. So it should reactivate when we mail the link
