I don’t know about Railsy, but if you’re concerned with the
elegance/readability/beauty/whatever of the code, given what you say about the
complexity of the output, you might want either a helper or perhaps a presenter
instance (i.e. an object that contains the logic for the display) to take care
of each of the rows.
Then the complex part of your view code might look something like:
<% row_helpers = %i{row1helper row2helper row3helper} %>
<tr>
<%= row_helpers.map do |h|
self.send h, row_data
end * ‘</tr><tr>’ %>
</tr>
Here I’m multiplying a string array by a string to get the array joined using
that string, and using the new %i syntax to get an array of symbols.
If your concern is speed of execution rather than eloquence, you might not want
to go this route though.
