Let me see if i can be more clear, and i will try some of the
suggested solutions
Im trying to make the route paths dynamic.
Lets say I have 2 models document, and article
I would have paths like
document_path(document), documents_path, new_document_path etc...
and similar for article
article_path(article), articles_path, new_article_path etc....
In the past few apps I have been developing I have come across
situations where I have had blocks of code (that could be a helper or
partial) that are pretty much the same for various models. or im this
particular case, an xml file that needs to be used by various models.
So in these cases I want to be able to create 1 partial or helper or
even an xml.builder that could allow the passing of any model object.
Database attributes work as they should
document.title or article.title could be passed in like so <%=
my_partial(object) %> with
Def my_partial(object)
object.title
End
The problem comes with the restful paths
document_path(document) or article_path(article)
Where I want to generate
#{object}_path(object) or #{object)s_path or new_#{object}_path
etc.....
This way i can create 1 block of code to be used by many objects
Does that make more sense?
