Module: Lev::HandleWith

Defined in:
lib/lev/handle_with.rb

Overview

A utility method for calling handlers from controllers. To use, include this in your relevant controllers (or in your ApplicationController), e.g.:

class ApplicationController
  include Lev::HandleWith
  ...
end

Then, call it from your various controller actions, e.g.:

handle_with(MyFormHandler,
            params: params,
            success: lambda { redirect_to 'show', notice: 'Success!'},
            failure: lambda { render 'new', alert: 'Error' })

handle_with takes care of calling the handler and populates a @handler_result object with the return value from the handler

The ‘success’ and ‘failure’ lambdas are called if there aren’t or are errors, respectively. Alternatively, if you supply a ‘complete’ lambda, that lambda will be called regardless of whether there are any errors. Inside these lambdas (and inside the views they connect to), there will be the @handler_outcome variable containing the errors and results from the handler.

Specifying ‘params’ is optional. If you don’t specify it, HandleWith will use the entire params hash from the request.
