Easy breadcrumbs for Rails apps.
-
Include
Croutons::Controllerin yourApplicationController.This will make a
#breadcrumbshelper available in your layouts and views. -
Call the
#breadcrumbshelper in your layouts or views. -
Define a
BreadcrumbTrailclass, which inherits fromCroutons::BreadcrumbTrail. -
Define missing methods on the
BreadcrumbTrailclass.For example, for the
admin/locations/index.html.erbview you would define an#admin_locations_indexmethod.In these methods, you build up a breadcrumb trail by calling
#breadcrumbwith a label and an optional URL. You can also call previously defined methods to build on existing trails. View assigns (i.e. the controller instance variables) are available via the#objectsmethod which returns aHash. Rails route helpers are also available inside this class.
Please see the example below for further reference.
-
Instead of defining a
BreadcrumbTrailclass you can use an object of your own that responds to#breadcrumbs.To do this, override the private
#breadcrumb_trailmethod in the controller where you includedCroutons::Controller, to return the object you want to use.The
#breadcrumbsmethod is passed two parameters: onetemplate_identifierStringand oneobjectsHash. The#breadcrumbsmethod should return anArrayofCroutons::Breadcrumbs. -
Override the view used to render breadcrumbs.
To do this, create a view called
breadcrumbs/_breadcrumbs.html.erb.In this view, an
ArrayofCroutons::Breadcrumbs is assigned to the local variablebreadcrumbs. TheseCroutons::Breadcrumbs have two public attributes:#labeland#url. The#urlattribute is optional. To check whether theCroutons::Breadcrumbhas a#urlor not (i.e. should be rendered as a link or not), check whether the#link?method returnstrueorfalse.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include Croutons::Controller
end
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def index
@posts = Post.all
end
def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
end
