Inherited Resources Archetypes¶ ↑

This gem is a set of helpers to support archetype-based apprach to share controllers and views behaviours with Inherited Resources.

Installation¶ ↑

Add do Gemfile

gem 'archetype', :git => 'git://github.com/tb/archetype.git'
gem 'inherited_resources_archetypes', :git => 'git://github.com/tb/inherited_resources_archetypes.git'

Usage¶ ↑

Create an initializer with following code:

Archetype::Base.register_archetype :crud do
  append_view_path Archetype::Resolver::Rails.new("archetype/crud")
  append_view_path InheritedResourcesArchetypes::Resolver::Engine.new("archetype/crud")
  inherit_resources
  include Archetype::Helpers::InheritedResources
  include Archetype::Helpers::InheritedResources::OnUpdateSuccessRedirectToEdit
  include Archetype::Helpers::InheritedResources::OnCreateSuccessRedirectToEdit
end

Now you can define your controller to use ‘crud’ archetype like this:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  archetype :crud
end

TODO¶ ↑

* implement 5-7 archetypes & views
* document archetypes + ilustrate them with pictures
* publish some example Rails engines that use archetypes
