Ruby: add method to the existing module - ruby-on-rails

There is a module:
module ActionDispatch
module Routing
end
end
And methods:
def add_movie_path
end
def edit_movie_path
end
How I can add to module Routing this methods?
Is this only way?

Try:
module ActionDispatch
module Routing
def add_movie_path
end
def edit_movie_path
end
module_function :edit_movie_path
end
end
So that then you can do a call like it is a instance method like so:
class Make
include ActionDispatch::Routing
end
class MakeAll
def only_needs_the_one_method
ActionDispatch::Routing.edit_movie_path
end
end
You can also define it as a class method by using self.class_name and then directly access it like so:
module ActionDispatch
module Routing
def self.add_movie_path
end
def self.edit_movie_path
end
end
end
class Make
include ActionDispatch::Routing
def do_something
ActionDispatch::Routing.add_movie_path
end
end
class MakeAll
def only_needs_the_one_method
ActionDispatch::Routing.edit_movie_path
end
end
See that Modules Magic for more.

Unless I misunderstand what you're asking, how about something like:
module ActionDispatch
module Routing
def add_movie_path
end
def edit_movie_path
end
end
end
Alternatively, you could use module_eval.

Simply put your methods inside the module.
module ActionDispatch
module Routing
def add_movie_path
end
def edit_movie_path
end
end
end

How to put helper methods and private methods in helpers

I have some helpers and private methods in a controller, and I want to have the same helpers and private methods in another controller. So I moved that code to module and tried to include the module in the second controller. But I can't seem to do it, because it says undefined method helper method for the DashboardHelper. Is there anyway to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Here is the code
module DashboardHelper
def get_date(log)
end
def get_working_hours(log)
end
helper_method :get_date, :get_working_hours
private
def employee_params
end
def identify_employee
end
def check_is_arrived
end
def calculate_time_percentage
end
end
class AccountController < ApplicationController
include DashboardHelper
end
hello gates you have to include extend ActiveSupport::Concern in your concern .
This should not be in your helper folder instead pull it somewhere in you concern folder
the end file may look like
module DashboardHelper
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
module ClassMethods
def get_date(log)
end
def get_working_hours(log)
end
helper_method :get_date, :get_working_hours
private
def employee_params
end
def identify_employee
end
def check_is_arrived
end
def calculate_time_percentage
end
end
end

Is it possible to invoke a helper_method from another Helper?

I have two Helpers, ExamsHelper and ResultsHelper
exams_helper.rb
module ExamsHelper
def get_data
...
end
end
results_helper.rb
module ResultsHelper
def find_result
...
end
end
Is it possible to access the get_data method in ResultsHelper.
I know that if I am declaring it on the ApplicationHelper, I can access it. Is there any other solution for it?
You can always use include:
module ResultsHelper
include ExamsHelper
def find_result
get_data # works
end
end

Ruby mixin best practice

New to Ruby\Rails, shame on me :(
I'm developing an engine for personal use (simple admin panel). What I want, is to be able to config my main app's models, like this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include Entropy::Configurable
entropy_config do
form_caption 'Editing user'
end
end
And then in engine's templates do this:
<h1><%= #object.entropy_config :form_caption %></h1>
Engine's module:
module Entropy
module Configurable
def self.included(base)
## to call entropy_config in model class
base.send :extend, ClassMethods
end
def entropy_config(arg)
## ... I'm missing this part
end
module ClassMethods
##config = { ... }
def entropy_config (&block)
class_eval &block
end
def form_caption(arg)
// skipping class identification
##config[:user][:form_caption] = arg
end
end
end
end
The problem is that I can not get access to ##config from Configurable module, actually when I call entropy_config on #object. What I'm doing wrong?
First of all you've doing it wrong. Rails is on of the frameworks that pushed a lot on the MVC architecture. Having your model know about form captions is wrong. For that I would use the rails i18n gem. For the sake of the argument here's some untested code that will probably answer your question:
module Entropy
module Configurable
def self.included(base)
## to call entropy_config in model class
base.send :extend, ClassMethods
end
def entropy_config(key)
self.class.config[:user][key]
end
module ClassMethods
cattr_accessor :config
def entropy_config (&block)
self.config ||= {}
class_eval &block
end
def form_caption(arg)
// skipping class identification
self.config[:user][:form_caption] = arg
end
end
end
end

Call a class method with a multi level Module structure in Ruby

I have some modules to be included in my controller classes. These modules define before_filter:
module BasicFeatures
def filter_method
...
end
def self.included(base)
base.before_filter(:filter_method)
...
end
end
module AdvancedFeatures
include BasicFeatures
...
end
And the classes:
class BasicController < ApplicationController
include BasicFeatures
end
class AdvancedController < ApplicationController
include AdvancedFeatures
end
When BasicFeatures module is included in AdvancedFeatures module, there are no before_filter methods in it.
The AdvancedController didn't get the before_filter call.
I need both my controllers to get the before_filter without any code duplication. I don't know if I am using the best approach so, I'm open to any suggestion.
This is why ActiveSupport::Concern was created.
module BasicFeatures
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
before_filter :require_user
end
def this_is_an_instance_method
'foo'
end
module ClassMethods
def this_is_a_class_method
'bar'
end
end
end
class SomeClass
include BasicFeatures
end
SomeClass.new.this_is_an_instance_method #=> 'foo'
You can also nest them — that is, create concerns that include concerns — and everything will work as expected. And here are the docs.
You can try this. Instead of including the module in AdvancedFeatures, You can include the BasicFeatures module on the class including AdvancedFeatures
module BasicFeatures
def filter_method
#code....
end
#some others basic methods...
def self.included(base)
base.before_filter(:filter_method)
#some other class method calls
end
end
module AdvancedFeatures
def self.included klass
klass.class_eval do
include BasicFeatures
end
end
#some advanced methods
end

How does one include a module with cache expirations in sweepers?

We have the following sweeper in a rails application:
class AgencyEquipmentTypeSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe AgencyEquipmentType
#include ExpireOptions
def after_update(agency_equipment_type)
expire_options(agency_equipment_type)
end
def after_delete(agency_equipment_type)
expire_options(agency_equipment_type)
end
def after_create(agency_equipment_type)
expire_options(agency_equipment_type)
end
def expire_options(agency_equipment_type)
Rails.cache.delete("agency_equipment_type_options/#{agency_equipment_type.agency_id}")
end
end
We'd like to extract the after_update, after_delete, and after_create callbacks to a module called "ExpireOptions"
The module should look like this (with the 'expire_options' method staying behind in the
original sweeper):
module ExpireOptions
def after_update(record)
expire_options(record)
end
def after_delete(record)
expire_options(record)
end
def after_create(record)
expire_options(record)
end
end
class AgencyEquipmentTypeSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe AgencyEquipmentType
include ExpireOptions
def expire_options(agency_equipment_type)
Rails.cache.delete("agency_equipment_type_options/#{agency_equipment_type.agency_id}")
end
end
BUT the cache expirations only work if we define the methods explicitly inside the sweeper. Is there an easy way to extract those callback methods to a module, and still have them work?
Try with:
module ExpireOptions
def self.included(base)
base.class_eval do
after_update :custom_after_update
after_delete :custom_after_delete
after_create :custom_after_create
end
end
def custom_after_update(record)
expire_options(record)
end
def custom_after_delete(record)
expire_options(record)
end
def custom_after_create(record)
expire_options(record)
end
end
I would try something like:
module ExpireOptions
def after_update(record)
self.send(:expire_options, record)
end
def after_delete(record)
self.send(:expire_options, record)
end
def after_create(record)
self.send(:expire_options, record)
end
end
This should make sure it does not try to call those methods on the module, but on self which would hopefully be the calling object.
Does that help?
