ObjectPath

This gem defines the ObjectPath::Mixin to be included in any ruby class where the path/url of an ActiveRecord model is useful.

The path/url generated by the ObjectPath::Mixin will be the same as generated by Rails according to the routes defined in your Rails application.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'object_path'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install object_path

Usage

class Notification
  include ObjectPath::Mixin
end

n = Notification.new

n.object_path(@blog_post)                         # => '/blog_posts/:id'
n.object_path(@blog_post, :edit)                  # => '/blog_posts/:id/edit'
n.object_path(@blog_post, :edit, context: 'next') # => '/blog_posts/:id/edit?context=next'
n.object_path(BlogPost.new)                       # => '/blog_posts/new'

Include ObjectPath::Mixin in the class you want. The path of the model/collection and action will be generated according to the routes defined in your Rails application by calling the object_path method. You can also call the object_url method with exactly the same arguments if you want to get the url of the model/collection instead.
