How to use nested_attribute boolean to change font color in sidebar?

Question

When a User checks off :good in the _form how can we render the font color green of that result in the sidebar?

We made this work in the index: How to Change Font Color based on Conditional?.

But the sidebar logic is making this trickier by rendering an additional quantified/result for every result when I tried this (we try to address this issue furthur here: How to stop double rendering in sidebar?):

<% @averaged_quantifieds.each do |averaged| %>
  <% averaged.results.each do |result| %>
    <% if result.good == true %>
      <div class="green">
        <li>
          <%= raw averaged.tag_list.map { |t| link_to t.titleize, tag_path(t) }.join(', ') %><%= link_to edit_quantified_path(averaged) do %> <%= averaged.results.first.result_value %> <%= averaged.metric %> <span class="label label-info"> <%= averaged.results.first.date_value.strftime("%b") %></span><% end %>
        </li>
    <% else %>
      <div class="red">
        <li>
          etc...

Current code:

<% @averaged_quantifieds.each do |averaged| %>
  <li>
    <%= raw averaged.tag_list.map { |t| link_to t.titleize, tag_path(t) }.join(', ') %><%= link_to edit_quantified_path(averaged) do %> <%= averaged.results.first.result_value %> <%= averaged.metric %> <span class="label label-info"> <%= averaged.results.first.date_value.strftime("%b") %></span><% end %>
  </li>
<% end %>

<% @instance_quantifieds.each do |instance| %>
  <li>
    <%= instance.results.first.date_value.strftime("%b %d") %>: <%= link_to edit_quantified_path(instance) do %> <%= instance.results.first.result_value %> <%= instance.metric %>, <%= raw instance.tag_list.map { |t| link_to t.titleize, tag_path(t) }.join(', ') %><% end %>
  </li>
<% end %>

Thank you for your time and expertise.

You can simply do:

<% averaged.results.each do |result| %>
  <div class="<%= result.good? ? 'green' : 'red' %>">

In Rails, ActiveRecord will automatically define a method on each boolean fields, method which would always return either true or false (never nil):

# example
# User's boolean attribute 'is_admin' in the DB
# Rails will define an instance method called `is_admin?`:
User.new(is_admin: true).is_admin? # => true
User.new(is_admin: false).is_admin? # => false
User.new(is_admin: nil).is_admin? # => false
# the defined method's name is `<boolean_attribute_name>?`

Also you don't need to be explicit like this:

if result.good == true
  #etc.
end

You can just write:

if result.good
  #etc.
end

If result.good returns false or nil, it will not go into the if block. If it returns anything else than false or nil, it will execute the if block.
