Objective
My current goal is to establish a new store using a modal window.
Challenges
- I am facing an issue where the form in my modal does not appear when I click the button. ~ Despite reaching the new.js.erb file and being able to display a flash message instead of the form. ~
- Another problem arises from my usage of
instead of<%= simple_form_for (Store.new) do |f|%>
. The latter results in an error message:<%= simple_form_for (@store) do |f|%>undefined method `model_name' for nil:NilClass - Progress Following Chandra's solution (refer to Answer below), clicking the button causes the tag to illuminate in my browser. Additionally, I have included my views/layouts/application.html.erb file.

views/stores/index.html.erb
<%= render "partials/show_panel_stores_overview"%>
views/partials/show_panel_stores_overview.html.erb
<%= link_to 'New store', new_store_path, remote: true %>
views/stores/new.js.erb
var form = $("<%= j(render 'form') %>");
var wrapper = $('<div>').attr('id', 'new-store-form').append(form);
$('body').append(wrapper);
views/stores/_form
<%= simple_form_for (Store.new) do |f|%>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.button :submit%>
store controller
def new
@store = current_user.store.build
@store.age_tables.build
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to root_url, alert: 'Page not accessible' }
format.js
end
authorize @store
end
def create
@store = current_user.stores.create(store_params)
authorize @store
if @store.save
redirect_to stores_path
else
render 'new'
end
end
