Insert item in DB with two columns using Scala and Play Framework - scala

Question

I've followed this application tutorial. Basically, in this app they create a todo item. I've replicated the model to a survey application, and I want to create a question that contains both question text and question type (binary, text entry etc). I get various degrees of errors regarding my question form formatting, etc but the main problem seems to be in the newQuestion action on
questionForm.bindFromRequest.fold(errors=> ..., question=> ...)
My code is formatted as follows:
QuestionController.scala:
def questions = Action {
Ok(views.html.question(Question.all(), questionForm))
}
def newQuestion = Action { implicit request =>
questionForm.bindFromRequest.fold(
errors => BadRequest(views.html.question(Question.all(), errors)),
question => {
Question.create(question)
Redirect(routes.QuestionController.questions)
}
)
}
def deleteQuestion(id: Long) = Action {
Question.delete(id)
Redirect(routes.QuestionController.questions)
}
val questionForm = Form(
"questiontext" -> nonEmptyText
)
CaseClass/companion object Question.scala:
case class Question (id:Long, questionText:String, questionType:String)
object Question {
val question = {
get[Long]("id") ~
get[String]("questiontext") ~
get[String]("questiontype") map {
case id~questiontext~questiontype => Question(id, questiontext,questiontype)
}
}
def all(): List[Question] = DB.withConnection { implicit c =>
SQL("select * from questions").as(question *)
}
def create(text:String) {
DB.withConnection {
implicit c =>
SQL("insert into questions(questiontext) values ({text})").on(
'text -> text
//'quesType -> qType
).executeUpdate()
}
}
def delete(id:Long) {
DB.withConnection{ implicit c =>
SQL("delete from questions where id = {id}").on(
'id -> id
).executeUpdate()
}
}
}
I essentially want to run create with two parameters as such:
def create(text:String,qType:String) {
DB.withConnection { implicit c =>
SQL("insert into questions(questiontext,questiontype) values ({text},{quesType})").on(
'text -> text,
'quesType -> qType
).executeUpdate()
}
}
But I'm unsure how to handle this in the bindFromRequest.fold as mentioned previously.
I tried editing the questionForm to use a mapping and using (Question.apply)(Question.unapply) as well as just a tuple and the questiontext -> nonEmptyText and questionType -> nonEmptyText contained in that tuple with no luck.
I edited the scala.html file to contain the right type of value accordingly with still no luck.
I can get it to save with one column but it crashes because I defined the questionType to be a required field in pgsql and the get fails on the ~get questionType from * after appending without a question type.
UPDATE:
I've edited it to try and emulate the code here:
https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.4.1/ScalaForms
So now, I am using the following code:
def questions = Action {
Ok(views.html.question(Question.all(), questionForm))
}
def newQuestion = Action { implicit request =>
logger.error(s"wtf")
questionForm.bindFromRequest.fold(
errors => {BadRequest(views.html.question(Question.all(), errors))
},
question => {
Question.create(question:Question)
Redirect(routes.QuestionController.questions).flashing("success"->"Question saved successfully!")
}
)
}
def deleteQuestion(id: Long) = Action {
Question.delete(id)
Redirect(routes.QuestionController.questions)
}
val questionForm:Form[Question]=Form(mapping(
"id" -> longNumber,
"versionid" -> longNumber,
"questiontext" -> nonEmptyText,
"questiontype" -> nonEmptyText)(Question.apply)(Question.unapply)
)
I've updated my question.scala.html file to take #(questions: List[Question], questionForm: Form[(Question)]) as inputs.
when i hit submit, I keep getting the Log message of :wtf
Following the example i most recently linked, I am not understanding why it does not go to the case of question and continue to create the question in the database. I updated my database create function as the following as well:
def create(question:Question) {
DB.withConnection {
implicit c =>
SQL("insert into questions(questiontext,questiontype,versionid) values ({text},{quesType},{versId})").on(
'text -> question.questionText,
'quesType -> question.questionType,
'versId -> 1.toLong
).executeUpdate()
}
}
Thanks for the help thus far, I hope I can figure out what I am doing wrong shortly.
