Module: Alchemy::OnPageLayout

Defined in:
lib/alchemy/on_page_layout.rb,
lib/alchemy/on_page_layout/callbacks_runner.rb

Overview

Provides a DSL to define callbacks run in a before filter on pages show action

Use this mixin to add the on_page_layout class method into your ApplicationController.

Pass a block or method name in which you have the @page object available and can do everything as if you were in a normal controller action.

You can pass a Alchemy::PageLayout name, an array of names, or :all to evaluate the callback on either some specific or all the pages.

Example:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  extend Alchemy::OnPageLayout

  on_page_layout :all do
    @my_stuff = Stuff.all
  end

  on_page_layout :contact, :do_something
  on_page_layout [:standard, :home, :news], :do_something_else

  private

  def do_something
    @contacts = Contact.all
    if @page.tag_list.include?('something')
      ...
    end
  end

  def do_something_else
    ...
  end
end
