Rails 4 - jQuery (initially hide, then toggle) conflicts with javascript

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate jQuery and javascript in my rails 4 app. I'm struggling.

I have each of these gems in my gem file:

gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.3.5.1'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'jquery-ui-rails'

I have a number of conflicts (the last 5 of my questions and most recent bounty all relate to these). See attached links:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36734854/rails-4-jquery-conflicts-with-javascript
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36832276/rails-4-jquery-conflicts-and-function-error
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36831987/rails-4-jquery-to-hide-initially-then-toggle-with-click
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36614651/rails-4-conditional-js-with-dependent-fields-rails

In order to try to work around one aspect of these problems, I removed the dependent-rails gem and am trying to write my own function to hide a section of my projects/form until a question in that form is answered by checking a box (so its value is true).

I currently have a projects.js file in my app/assets/javascripts folder. It has:

(function($){

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#check_project_milestones").hide()
});

})(jQuery);

While this formulation (the first and last line are new) does stop one error (which before including the first and last line said "Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function(anonymous function) @ projects.self-9c019ba….js?"), it doesnt actually work to hide the text inside the id tag 'check_project_milestones'.

The form has:

<%= f.input :has_milestones, as: :boolean, boolean_style: :inline, :label => 'Does this research project have identifiable milestones or decision points?', id: 'check_project_milestones' %>

                        <%= content_tag :div,  data: {'checkbox-id': 'check_project_milestones', 'checkbox-value': 'true' } do %>

                            <div class="intpol2">
                              Milestones
                            </div>
                            <%= f.simple_fields_for :milestones do |f| %>

                              <%= render 'milestones/milestone_fields', f: f %>
                            <% end %>
                        <% end %>


                      <div class="row">

                        <div class="col-md-6">

                           <%= link_to_add_association 'Add a milestone', f, :milestones, partial: 'milestones/milestone_fields' %>

                        </div>
                      </div>

My application.js has:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery-ui
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require html.sortable
//= require disqus_rails
//= require moment
//= require bootstrap-datetimepicker
//= require pickers
//= require main
//= require hammer.min
//= require jquery.animate-enhanced.min
//= require jquery.countTo
//= require jquery.easing.1.3
//= require jquery.fitvids
//= require jquery.magnific-popup.min
//= require jquery.parallax-1.1.3
//= require jquery.properload
//= require jquery.shuffle.modernizr.min
//= require jquery.sudoSlider.min
//= require jquery.superslides.min
//= require masonry.pkgd.min
//= require rotaterator

//= require gmaps/google
//= require chosen-jquery
//= require cocoon
//= require imagesloaded.pkgd.min

//= require jquery.counterup.min
//= require jquery.pjax
//= require custom.js
//= require slider
//= require underscore
//= require bootstrap-slider
//= require_tree .

Can anyone see what I have done wrong?

try inserting jQuery.noConflict(); before (function( $ ) { — Малъ Скрылевъ

it doesnt give an error message in the console, but like the above problem, the hide function doesnt work — Mel

try to replace with jQuery("#check_project_milestones").hide(); — Малъ Скрылевъ
– Малъ Скрылевъ, Commented Apr 26, 2016 at 7:08
that gives the same outcome as the above attempts (no console error, but the hide function doesnt work). — Mel

I propose you to do like follows:

<%= f.input :has_milestones, as: :boolean, boolean_style: :inline, :label => 'Does this research project have identifiable milestones or decision points?' %>

   <div class="content hidden">
      <div class="intpol2"> Milestones </div>
      <%= f.simple_fields_for :milestones do |f| %>
         <%= render 'milestones/milestone_fields', f: f %>
      <%- end %>
   </div>

   <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-6">
         <%= link_to_add_association 'Add a milestone', f, :milestones, partial: 'milestones/milestone_fields' %>
      </div>
   </div>

<%- end %>

Defice form as a checkbox with id, and define the rest of form with another id. Then define click handle on checkbox and just toggle add/remove hidden class part from the rest form div.

$(document).ready(function() {
   $("#project_has_milestones").on('click', function() {
      if ($(this)[0].checked) {
          $('#project_has_milestones .content').addClass('hidden');
      } else {
          $('#project_has_milestones .content').removeClass('hidden');
      }
   });
});

In case of jQuery name conflict you should replace all the $ with jQuery name.

Hi - I tried this, the second part of the form is hidden, but it doesn't show when you tick the first checkbox

Mel Over a year ago

The console shows this error: projects.self-a9d9c53….js?body=1:1 Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function(anonymous function) @ projects.self-a9d9c53….js?body=1:1 main.self-5888479….js?body=1:316

I can't figure out how to copy from the code inspector

Mel Over a year ago

which bit did you change?

Mel Over a year ago

I replaced all "$" with jQuery - the second part of the form starts hidden but it doesnt show when you check the first box
