Flutie provides some utility view helpers for use with Rails applications.
There are helpers for setting a page title and for generating body classes.
Flutie is a Railtie. We support the versions of Ruby and Rails listed in .travis.yml.
It should be run as a gem and included in your Gemfile
:
gem "flutie"
Flutie provides helper methods for use within Rails layouts and views.
The page_title
method can be used like:
<title><%= page_title %></title>
By default, it will produce results like:
<title>Appname : page title</title>
- "App name" comes from the module name of the rails application created by your
app, i.e.
Appname::Application
will produce "Appname" - "page" comes from trying
content_for(:page_title)
and assumes you are usingcontent_for
with:page_title
symbol on your pages. - The separator defaults to " : "
These can be overridden by passing an options hash including :app_name
,
:page_title_symbol
and :separator
hash keys. For example:
content_for(:site_page_title, 'My title of my page')
page_title(:app_name => 'My app name', :page_title_symbol => :site_page_title, :separator => " | ")
would produce:
<title>My app name | My title of my page</title>
You can also reverse the position of the :app_name
and the :site_page_title
values by using the :reverse
option. For example:
content_for(:site_page_title, 'My title of my page')
page_title(:app_name => 'My app name', :page_title_symbol => :site_page_title, reverse: true)
would produce:
<title>My title of my page : My app name</title>
The body_class
method can be used like this in a layout:
<body class="<%= body_class %>">
This will produce a string including the controller name and controller-action
name pair. For example, The WidgetsController#show
action would produce:
<body class="widgets widgets-show">
Anything which has been added via content_for(:extra_body_classes)
will be
added to the end, for example views like:
content_for(:extra_body_classes, 'special-page')
<body class="<%= body_class %>">
would produce:
<body class="widgets widgets-show special-page">
