I am trying to figure out how to output a global variable to my view
page to EACH DO loop the contents of my xml file.
This is how my controller is configured:
** CONTROLLER CLASS **
require 'net/http'
require 'httparty'
require 'rexml/document'
require 'uri'
require 'remixr'
include REXML
#user inputs from form
def result
$zip_code = params[:zip_code]
$range = params[:range]
#Modifiable URL parameters
$base_url = 'http://api.remix.bestbuy.com'
$uri = URI.parse($base_url)
$stores_call = '/v1/stores'
$apiKey = '?apiKey='YOUR API KEY'
$area_para = "(area(#{$zip_code},#{$range}))"
$store_para = '&show=storeID,name'
$xml_url =
"#{$base_url}#{$stores_call}#{$area_para}#{$apiKey}#{$store_para}"
# Data call and parsing into xml hash array
http = Net::HTTP.new($uri.host, $uri.port)
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new($xml_url)
response = http.request(request)
$xml = response.body
$doc = Document.new $xml
** VIEW PAGE **
<%=
$doc.each do |item|
puts "{storeID}=#{item}"
end
%>
The $doc object is a nested hash with store locations that each have
other characteristics. Currently the parameters only pull the StoreID
and name. So the loop will need to pull each StoreID, then name, then
repeat loop. I am going to be building the loop around an HTML table,
but that would be extra credit if someone wants to take it on.
Thank you so much!
