Overview

AbstractFormat manages the basic format API, including API to define a #view. Whenever you create a format block in a set module in a mod, you create a format module that is extended with AbstractFormat.

def set_module
  Card.const_get name.split("::")[0..-2].join("::")
end

#setting(name) ⇒ Object

Defines a setting method that can be used in all formats. Example:

format do
  setting :cols
  cols 5, 7

  view :some_view do
    cols  # => [5, 7]
  end
end

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    name of setting. should be available method name

#view(viewname, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Views are the primary way that both sharks and monkeys interact with cards. Sharks select views to use in nests. Monkeys can define and tweak those views. These docs will introduce the basics of view definition.

Sample view definitions

Here is a very simple view that just defines a label for the card(its name):

view :label do
  card.name
end

View definitions can take the following forms:

view :viewname[, option_hash][, &block]          # standard
view :viewname, alias_to_viewname[, option_hash] # aliasing

View definition options

  • :alias_to [Symbol] name of view to which this view should be aliased. View must already be defined in self or specified mod.

  • :async render view asynchronously by first rendering a card placeholder and then completing a request. Only applies to HtmlFormat

  • :cache directs how to handle caching for this view. Supported values:

    • :standard - (default)
    • :always - cache even when rendered within another cached view
    • :never - don't ever cache this view. Frequently used to prevent caching problems

You should certainly learn more about caching if you want to develop mods that are safe in a caching environment.

  • :compact [True/False]. Is view acceptable for rendering inside compact view? Default is false.

  • :denial [Symbol]. View to render if permission is denied. Value can be any viewname. Default is :denial. :blank is a common alternative.

  • :perms restricts view permissions. Supported values:

    • :create, :read (default), :update, :delete - only users with the given permission for the card viewed.
    • :none - no permission check; anyone can view
    • a Proc object. Eg perms: ->(_fmt) { Auth.needs_setup? }

  • :template [Symbol] view is defined in a template. Currently :haml is the only supported value. See HamlViews

  • :unknown [True/False, Symbol]. Configures handling of "unknown" cards. (See card states). Supported values:

    • true render view even if card is unknown
    • false default unknown handling (depends on context, create permissions, etc)
    • a Symbol: name of view to render

  • :wrap wrap view dynamically. Value is Symbol for wrapper or Hash with wrappers and wrapper options. See Wrapper
