Hello folks, I have models called Address and Cart and both have their needed RESTful actions in place. Now there's a third model called Despatch which assigns the Cart's contents to a chosen Address.
Ideally then, to keep DRY, I'd like to rely on my Address and Cart controllers for: 1. choosing an Address as a recipient 2. displaying the Cart and allowing the user to make any modifications to its contents before having my Despatch controller create the despatch. My plan is to: 1. have the Despatch controller set a session variable to indicate that a despatch is being done 2. have the Address and Cart actions check that variable and alter their displays accordingly, ie Address index will display a select as recipient link in addition to the usual CRUD links. 3. have each step in the process point to my Despatch controller's new action, with a params variable to indicate which step the user is at, ie choosing recipient (redirect_to addresses_path), modifying cart (redirect_to cart_path). 4. the last step will then be a link to Despatch's create action, which will create the Despatch, empty the Cart and clear the session variable. Does anyone know of a cleaner way of pulling this off? Thanks in advance.
