Hey everyone, I need some help refactoring: I am using kaminari for pagination on a rails 3 project and I have successfully followed the example in the documentation.
https://github.com/amatsuda/kaminari https://github.com/amatsuda/kaminari_example/tree/ajax As suggested in the example, my controller responds to js with index.js.erb. Here is the example code: #users/index.js.erb $('#users').html('<%= escape_javascript render(@users) %>'); $('#paginator').html('<%= escape_javascript(paginate(@users, :remote => true).to_s) %>'); As you can see, there is some javascript that calls the html function in the browser to replace the results with the output of rendering the _users partial. So, everything is working at this point. My problem with this approach is that now I want to paginate another resource, let's say posts. Now, I have: #posts/index.js.erb $('#posts').html('<%= escape_javascript render(@posts) %>'); $('#paginator').html('<%= escape_javascript(paginate(@posts, :remote => true).to_s) %>'); Which starts smelling immediately, because I just copy,pasted and replaced "users", with "posts" 3 times. Now, of course, later on it's likely that instead of just using html to replace, I will end up using some other jquery effect to paint it, in which case I will have to go back to each index.js.erb in my application, and start the copy/past find/replace. Any ideas on how to refactor this and create the appropriate javascript dynamically? Thanks, -- Ylan. -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
