All I actually wanted to do was to add some helper methods for my
views.
I kind of "solved" the problem by rethinking my approach, as I could
see I had gone down a "blind alley".
module ApplicationHelper
def self.auth_assist_helpers
include AuthAssistant::ViewHelpers
end
end
module AuthAssistant
module ViewHelpers
include AuthAssistant::ViewHelpers::AuthLink
include AuthAssistant::ViewHelpers::RestLink
include AuthAssistant::ViewHelpers::AuthMenuItem
end
end
--
In my Rails app I can now do the following to have them added. Don't
know how to do a similar feat from my gem, since there is a loading/
timing issue then?
module ApplicationHelper
auth_assist_helpers
end
and all the methods are included into ApplicationHelper and hence
available for my views, and link_to works as expected from within this
context. Not sure if this is the "right" approach however, polluting
the ApplicationHelper seems kind of crude. How is the UrlHelper
integrated and made available for the views I wonder?
I used the previous approach, coz that was what I had seen in code
elsewhere, such as in cancan, devise etc. Adding method to
ActionController and certain methods made available as helper methods
using helper_method :xxxx
Thanks!
