I managed to get it working by:
changing the name of the partial _awesome_grid.erb
-- app/views/products/index.html.erb
render :partial => "controls/awesome_grid",
:locals => Controls::AwesomeGrid::get_data(
Product,
params,
['title', 'description'],
{:actions => ['show', 'edit', 'delete']}
)
-- lib/controls/awesome_grid.rb
module Controls
module AwesomeGrid
def self.get_data(model, params, columns = [], options = {})
return {
...
}
end
end
end
Does this seem like an appropriate use of these files or would you
arrange them differently?
Thanks,
