I apologize for being very pedantic, but to follow the example through
some request/response cycles to further drill into the facets would
help me.
Request/Response Cycle 1 controller:
@facets = Model.facets
Request/Response Cycle 1 view:
Iterate over @facets and create links.
Request/Response Cycle 2 controller:
Marshall @facets, presumably from the url?, and perform @facets.for
(:<facet_the_user_clicked_on_from_url> => <facet_value_from_url>) to
subset of results represented by selected facet.
In this step, what would be the best way to get the subset of facets
since @facets.for only returns results? Should we filter via
Model.facets(:with => {:<facet_the_user_clicked_on_from_url> =>
<facet_value_from_url>}) or ? I think I tried this and it didn't work
correctly as far as results.
Request/Response 2 view:
Iterate over results and display them
Same for facets.
Let user repeat step 2.
Thanks!
