Hi All, After reviewing several ideas, I felt fresh implementation of Rails Components (or Parts as in Merb) would be a cool idea to jump on. Simply, Components would be shared controller actions which could be mixed and matched within other controller actions. There are several application cases which myself has come across where the concept of Components would be useful. For example, you could use a common "Comments" component for both your Messages and Tasks controllers. Also, components could be used to control access of blocks within a page. It would help you to follow MVC while keeping your code DRY.
The concept of components will be viable with the current reworking of AbstractController, which gives full access to controller variable stack and callback filters. Would this be a suitable for a GSoC project? I would love to hear your concerns and suggestions before proceeding with the scope and goals. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
