My app is authenticated and correctly displays information from an API call on its home page, but I can't get it to display information from an API call on a page using a proxy. The proxy is setup correctly, because it will display HTML if there is only HTML on its page (no Shopify API calls).
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root :to => 'home#index'
mount ShopifyApp::Engine, at: '/'
get "/products" => "products#index", :as => :products
end
products_controller.rb
class ProductsController < ShopifyApp::AuthenticatedController
around_filter :shopify_session
def index
@productArray = ShopifyAPI::Product.find(:all, :params => {:limit => 10})
end
end
index.html.erb
<h2>Products</h2>
<ul>
<% @productArray.each do |product| %>
<li><%= link_to product.title, "https://#{@shop_session.url}/admin/products/#{product.id}", target: "_top" %></li>
<li><%= product.id %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
My Shopify Proxy
Path: a/products
Proxy url: https://appname.herokuapp.com/products
Now here's the weird part
When I go to https://devstorename.myshopify.com/a/products, it just redirects to https://devstorename.myshopify.com/password. No notifications or anything. If I removed the index function from the controller and changed the html file to just contain something like -
<h1>Test</h1>
Then it would correctly display "Test" on the screen with no redirection. My conclusion from this is that I probably have some sort of authentication issue where I don't have permission to make the calls on this page.
All of this code however works perfectly for the home_controller.rb controller and its index.html.erb, and the correct information gets displayed at the root route.
I'm obviously very new to this.
Edit
Using the app proxy gem,
products_controller.rb
class ProductsController < ShopifyApp::AppProxyController
def index
@productArray = ShopifyAPI::Product.find(:all, :params => {:limit => 10})
end
end
