Draper | ||
================ | ||
|
||
This gem makes it easy to apply the decorator pattern to the models in a Rails application. | ||
|
||
## Why use decorators? | ||
|
||
Helpers, as they're commonly used, are a bit odd. In both Ruby and Rails we approach everything from an Object-Oriented perspective, then with helpers we get procedural. | ||
|
||
The job of a helper is to take in data or a data object and output presentation-ready results. We can do that job in an OO fashion with a decorator. | ||
|
||
In general, a decorator wraps an object with presentation-related accessor methods. For instance, if you had an `Article` object, then a decorator might add instance methods like `.formatted_published_at` or `.formatted_title` that output actual HTML. | ||
|
||
## How is it implemented? | ||
|
||
To implement the pattern in Rails we can: | ||
|
||
1. Write a wrapper class with the decoration methods | ||
2. Wrap the data object | ||
3. Utilize those methods within our view layer | ||
|
||
## How do you utilize this gem in your application? | ||
|
||
Here are the steps to utilizing this gem: | ||
|
||
Add the dependency to your `Gemfile`: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
gem "draper" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Run bundle: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
bundle | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Create a decorator for your model (ex: `Article`) | ||
|
||
``` | ||
rails generate draper:model Article | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Open the decorator model (ex: `app/decorators/article_decorator.rb`) | ||
|
||
Add your new formatting methods as normal instance or class methods. You have access to the Rails helpers from the following classes: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper | ||
ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper | ||
ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Use the new methods in your views like any other model method (ex: `@article.formatted_published_at`) | ||
|
||
## Possible Decoration Methods | ||
|
||
Here are some ideas of what you might do in decorator methods: | ||
|
||
* Implement output formatting for `to_csv`, `to_json`, or `to_xml` | ||
* Format dates and times using `strftime` | ||
* Implement a commonly used representation of the data object like a `.name` method that combines `first_name` and `last_name` attributes | ||
|
||
## Example Using a Decorator | ||
|
||
Say I have a publishing system with `Article` resources. My designer decides that whenever we print the `published_at` timestamp, it should be constructed like this: | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<span class='published_at'> | ||
<span class='date'>Monday, May 6</span> | ||
<span class='time'>8:52AM</span> | ||
</span> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Could we build that using a partial? Yes. A helper? Uh-huh. But the point of the decorator is to encapsulate logic just like we would a method in our models. Here's how to implement it. | ||
|
||
First, follow the steps above to add the dependency, update your bundle, then run the `rails generate decorator:setup` to prepare your app. | ||
|
||
Since we're talking about the `Article` model we'll create an `ArticleDecorator` class. You could do it by hand, but use the provided generator: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
rails generate draper:model Article | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now open up the created `app/decorators/article_decorator.rb` and you'll find an `ArticleDecorator` class. Add this method: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
def formatted_published_at | ||
date = content_tag(:span, published_at.strftime("%A, %B %e").squeeze(" "), :class => 'date') | ||
time = content_tag(:span, published_at.strftime("%l:%M%p").delete(" "), :class => 'time') | ||
content_tag :span, date + time, :class => 'published_at' | ||
end | ||
``` | ||
|
||
*ASIDE*: Unfortunately, due to the current implementation of `content_tag`, you can't use the style of sending the content is as a block or you'll get an error about `undefined method 'output_buffer='`. Passing in the content as the second argument, as above, works fine. | ||
|
||
Then you need to perform the wrapping in your controller. Here's the simplest method: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController | ||
def show | ||
@article = ArticleDecorator.new( Article.find params[:id] ) | ||
end | ||
end | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Then within your views you can utilize both the normal data methods and your new presentation methods: | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
<%= @article.formatted_published_at %> | ||
``` | ||
Ta-da! Object-oriented data formatting for your view layer. Below is the complete decorator with extra comments removed: | ||
```ruby | ||
class ArticleDecorator < Draper::Base | ||
def formatted_published_at | ||
date = content_tag(:span, published_at.strftime("%A, %B %e").squeeze(" "), :class => 'date') | ||
time = content_tag(:span, published_at.strftime("%l:%M%p"), :class => 'time').delete(" ") | ||
content_tag :span, date + time, :class => 'created_at' | ||
end | ||
end | ||
``` | ||
