After finishing Michael Hartl's tutorial on Rails, I'm trying to build a call-tracking app with Twilio, to get a sense of things.
So far, I've managed to make an authentication system, a plans system, integrated stripe, and integrated the creation of Twilio subaccounts with user signup. Now, I'm looking to figure out how to get users to search for a phone number, choose from the list, and buy the phone number. They have documentation on this here -- > http://www.twilio.com/docs/howto/search-and-buy But, the Sinatra is really confusing me. I'm not sure how to separate the views from the controllers while looking at that code. Currently, I have 2 relevant models The User model, which has_many phone numbers. I tried creating a new controller, the find_numbers controller, that would do the search for the numbers, and transmit the chosen number to the phone_numbers controller, but ended up riddled with errors. Could someone give me pointers on how I would convert the following to Rails controller/views? ========================================= We take the user's criteria and search for available phone numbers that match post '/search-numbers' do account_sid = 'ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' auth_token = 'YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY' client = Twilio::REST::Client.new(account_sid, auth_token) ####After here I'm confused!! search_params = {} %w[in_postal_code near_number contains].each do |p| search_params[p] = params[p] unless params[p].nil? || params[p].empty? end begin local_numbers = client.account.available_phone_numbers.get('US').local numbers = local_numbers.list(search_params) unless numbers.empty? out = '<html><head><title>Choose a number</title></head><body><h3>Choose a number</h3>' numbers.each do |number| out << "<form method='POST' action='/buy-number'>" out << "<label>#{number.friendly_name}</label>" out << "<input type='hidden' name='PhoneNumber' value='#{number.phone_number}' />" out << "<input type='submit' value='BUY' /></form>" end out << '</body></html>' else '<b>Sorry!</b> Twilio doesn\'t have any numbers available that match those constraints.' end rescue StandardError => e '<b>Sorry!</b> ' + e.message + '.' end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
