I am making a signup form and wanted to use jquery-validation plugin to check that user_name is unique.
The routes:
resources :users, :only => [:show] do
collection do
post 'check_user_name_uniq'
get 'check_email'
get 'check_password'
end
controller:
def check_user_name_uniq
render :json => User.valid_attribute?(:user_name, params[:user][:user_name]).to_json
end
javascript:
$("#new_user").validate({
debug: true,
rules: {
"user[user_name]": {
required: true,
remote: {
url: "/users/check_user_name_uniq", // check user_name uniqueness
type: "POST",
dataType: "json"
}
}
},...
And i set the X-CSRF-Token header by:
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(jqXHR) {
jqXHR.setRequestHeader('X-CSRF-Token', $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content'));
}
});
But when i enter a user_name, there was still 401 error:
Started POST "/users/check_user_name_uniq" for 192.168.157.1 at 2013-04-26 23:52:22 +0800
Processing by UsersController#check_user_name_uniq as JSON
Parameters: {"user"=>{"user_name"=>"tomwang"}}
Completed 401 Unauthorized in 36ms
I don't know why this error happened, because they said that the header could solve it: WARNING: Can't verify CSRF token authenticity rails
