Now that the Like model, relationship and methods are set up, let's create a page for users to view all their liked products. Afterwards, we'll create a button for liking products.
Create my_page
Create a page called my_page that users can visit at /my_page.
Guideline: Create a my_page controller action in UsersController and a my_page file in views/users. Create the necessary route to point to it.
Create the controller action:
controllers/users_controller.rb
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def my_page
end
end
Create the file views/users/my_page.html.erb and add some text to it, such as:
<h2>Liked Products</h2>
Add the following route to routes.rb:
get 'my_page', to: 'users#my_page'
You should now be able to navigate to /my_page.
