Hi all,
Sometime ago, i read the slides "when V is for Vexing: Patterns to DRY Up Your Views" (Bruce Williams railsconf). They are not online anymore. I post one slide in my[1}.. But only the bad smells sign in the view, and only problem, not the solution. here they are
1. Calling find on a model directly
<% Sales Sales.find_all_by_region(params[:region]).each .do |t| %><
% end %>
2. Calling find on an association
3. Conditionally inserting content if/else clauses, case statements, etc
<% if current_user.admin? %>Admins see this
<% end %>
4. Doing a complex inline ma map, sor sort, t, select, etc on a collection
<% applications.sort_by{|app| [app.priority, app.creator.name] }.each do |app|
<% end %>
5. Assigning temporar temporary variables
<% indicator_id = "loading_indicator_#{item.id}" %><%= link_to_remote("Show Status",:url => item_path(item),
:loading => "$('#{indicator_id}').show()",
:complete => "$('#{indicator_id}').hide()",
) %>
<%= image_tag('progress.gif', :id => indicator_id)%>
I would like to ask for new bad smell signs. In the view, in the controller or in the model. (and discuss this , specially number 3)
Thanks
