Instance Method Details

#call_method_or_exec_proc(symbol_or_proc, *args) ⇒ Object

This method will either call the symbol on self or instance_exec the Proc within self. Any args will be passed along to the method dispatch.

Calling with a Symbol:

call_method_or_exec_proc(:to_s) #=> will call #to_s

Calling with a Proc

my_proc = Proc.new{ to_s }
call_method_or_exec_proc(my_proc) #=> will instance_exec in self

def call_method_or_exec_proc(symbol_or_proc, *args)
  case symbol_or_proc
  when Symbol, String
    send(symbol_or_proc, *args)
  when Proc
    instance_exec(*args, &symbol_or_proc)
  else
    symbol_or_proc
  end
end

#call_method_or_proc_on(receiver, *args) ⇒ Object

Many times throughout the views we want to either call a method on an object or instance_exec a proc passing in the object as the first parameter. This method wraps that pattern.

Calling with a String or Symbol:

call_method_or_proc_on(@my_obj, :size) same as @my_obj.size

Calling with a Proc:

proc = Proc.new{|s| s.size }
call_method_or_proc_on(@my_obj, proc)

By default, the Proc will be instance_exec’d within self. If you would rather not instance exec, but just call the Proc, then pass along ‘exec: false` in the options hash.

proc = Proc.new{|s| s.size }
call_method_or_proc_on(@my_obj, proc, exec: false)

You can pass along any necessary arguments to the method / Proc as arguments. For example:

call_method_or_proc_on(@my_obj, :find, 1) #=> @my_obj.find(1)

# File 'lib/active_admin/view_helpers/method_or_proc_helper.rb', line 55

def call_method_or_proc_on(receiver, *args)
  options = { exec: true }.merge(args.extract_options!)

  symbol_or_proc = args.shift

  case symbol_or_proc
  when Symbol, String
    receiver.public_send symbol_or_proc.to_sym, *args
  when Proc
    if options[:exec]
      instance_exec(receiver, *args, &symbol_or_proc)
    else
      symbol_or_proc.call(receiver, *args)
    end
  else
    symbol_or_proc
  end
end

#render_in_context(context, obj, *args) ⇒ Object

This method is different from the others in that it calls ‘instance_exec` on the receiver, passing it the proc. This evaluates the proc in the context of the receiver, thus changing what `self` means inside the proc.

def render_in_context(context, obj, *args)
  context = self if context.nil? # default to `self` only when nil
  case obj
  when Proc
    context.instance_exec *args, &obj
  when Symbol
    context.public_send obj, *args
  else
    obj
  end
end

#render_or_call_method_or_proc_on(obj, string_symbol_or_proc, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Many configuration options (Ex: site_title, title_image) could either be static (String), methods (Symbol) or procs (Proc). This helper takes care of returning the content when String or call call_method_or_proc_on when Symbol or Proc.
