layout_options

The layout_options gem provides a single place to set all of your layouts in your controller. This gem really shines when using inherited_resources and you need multiple layouts.

This gem came from that exact scenario.

Usage

To add layout_options to your Rails project and type ‘rails generate layout_options:install’

Example

Adding layout_options to your Gemfile:

gem 'layout_options', '~> 0.1'

Install layout_options:

rails generate layout_options:install

Define your layouts in your controllers:

  class UsersController < ApplicationController
    layout_options :overlay => [:new, :edit], :none => :destroy
    # use :none for your hash key if you don't want any layout to be used
  end

Thats it!
