SmarterListing
The smart listing from the guys at Sology is a real productivity boost. But it's too verbose to include it into your rails app. This gem makes smart listing even smarter. It drys your controller out.
Usage
Gemfile
gem 'smarter_listing'
then
bundle install
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb
class PostController < ApplicationController smarter_listing # Look ma, no controller actions needs to be defined private def resource_params params.require(:post).permit(:title, :body) if params[:post] end end
app/views/posts/_form.html.haml
= bootstrap_form_for @post # this requires the fine gem 'bootstrap_form'. Check it out! = f.text_field :title = f.text_area :body .pull-right = f.primary = link_to 'Cancel'. posts_path, class: 'btn btn-default'
app/views/posts/_post.html.haml
%td= object.title.truncate(30) %td= object.body.truncate(80) %td.actions= smart_listing_item_actions [action_copy(object,copy_post_path(object)),action_edit(object,edit_post_path(object)),action_destroy(object,post_path(object))]
app/views/posts/_table_header.html.haml
%table.table.table-striped %tr %th= smart_listing.sortable t("Created"), :created_at %th= smart_listing.sortable t("Title"), :title %th= smart_listing.sortable t("Body"), :body %th - smart_listing.collection.each do |post| %tr.editable{data: {id: post.id}} = smart_listing.render partial: 'posts/post', locals: {object: post} = smart_listing.item_new colspan: 11, link: new_post_path
= smart_listing.paginate = smart_listing.pagination_per_page_links
* app/views/posts/index.html.haml
```ruby
