Let's say I have a controller with 2 collection actions for viewing tasks
(accessed by /tasks/active and tasks/complete respectively).
def active
@tasks = Task.all(:complete => false)
respond_with(@tasks)
end
def complete
@tasks = Task.all(:complete => true)
respond_with(@tasks)
end
The views for both of these actions have a form for creating a new task
which submits via ajax. The view looks something like the following:
def create
@task = Task.new(params[:task])
@task.save
respond_with(@task, :location => tasks_path) do |format|
format.js # reload task list
end
end
My question is about the "reload task list" line. When the task is created,
I need to reload the task list. If the task was created from the "completed"
page, we would want to reload the "completed" data set, and if it was
created from the "active" page we would want to reload the "active" data
set.
What's the most DRY way to detect which page the task was created from and
reload the appropriate data set?
I could check whether "/active" or "/complete" is in the HTTP referrer, but
that feels kind of hack-ish.
