Module: Entrails::ActionController::NamedRouteParameter

Defined in:
lib/entrails/action_controller/named_route_parameter.rb

Overview

NamedRouteParameter is currently in the “hack” phase because its implementation essentially creates a duplicate route in memory for every named_route defined. The purpose of this hack is really to be able to determine which named_route is being recognized by simply tacking on a new parameter called :named_route.

This can be helpful in shared partials where you may only want to display something for certain views and it would be nice to determine it from the named route. It is also very helpful if you need a concise standard name when analyzing the path from a local referer (indeed, this was the initial use case for its construction.)
