A simple wrapper for objects (think of Burgundy as a decorator/presenter) in less than 150 lines.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'burgundy'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install burgundy
First, define your wrapping class.
class UserPresenter < Burgundy::Item
end
Then you can instantiate it:
user = UserPresenter.new(User.first)
The Burgundy::Item
has access to helper and route methods. Notice that the
wrapper item is accessible through the Burgundy::Item#item
method.
class UserPresenter < Burgundy::Item
def profile_url
routes.profile_url(item.username)
end
end
You don't have to expose attributes; everything is delegated to the wrapped item.
To wrap an entire collection, just use the Burgundy::Collection
class.
class WorkshopsController < ApplicationController
def index
@workshops = Burgundy::Collection.new(
Workshop.sorted_by_name,
WorkshopPresenter
)
end
end
or just call WorkshopPresenter.wrap(Workshop.sorted_by_name)
. Both ways return
a Burgundy::Collection
instance.
You may need to provide additional arguments to the item class. On your collection, all additional arguments will be delegated to the item classe, like the following example:
WorkshopPresenter.wrap(Workshop.all, current_user)
Burgundy::Collection.new(Workshop.all, WorkshopPresenter, current_user)
class WorkshopPresenter < Burgundy::Item
def initialize(workshop, current_user)
super(workshop)
@current_user = current_user
end
end
The query will be performed only when needed, usually on the view (easier to
cache). The collection is an enumerable object and can be passed directly to the
render
method. Each item will be wrapped by the provided class.
<%= render @workshops %>
Route URLs may require the default url options. Burgundy try to get them from the following objects:
Rails.configuration.action_mailer.default_url_options
Rails.application.routes.default_url_options
So you can just put this on your environment file
config.action_controller.default_url_options = {
host: "example.org"
}
You can map attributes into a hash; I use this strategy for using presenters on API responses (so I can skip adding yet another dependency to my project).
class UserPresenter < Burgundy::Item
attributes :username, :name, :email
def profile_url
routes.profile_url(item.username)
end
end
UserPresenter.new(User.first).attributes
#=> {:username=>'johndoe', :name=>'John Doe', :email=>'[email protected]'}
UserPresenter.new(User.first).to_hash
#=> {:username=>'johndoe', :name=>'John Doe', :email=>'[email protected]'}
UserPresenter.new(User.first).to_h
#=> {:username=>'johndoe', :name=>'John Doe', :email=>'[email protected]'}
UserPresenter.new(User.first).as_json
#=> {:username=>'johndoe', :name=>'John Doe', :email=>'[email protected]'}
Notice that as_json
will ignore any options provided.
If you want to remap an attribute, provide a hash.
class UserPresenter < Burgundy::Item
attributes :name, :email, :username => :login
def profile_url
routes.profile_url(item.username)
end
end
UserPresenter.new(User.first).attributes
#=> {:login=>'johndoe', :name=>'John Doe', :email=>'[email protected]'}
