DRYing link_to with a symbol

rubyonrails-core
21

Hi,

I've converted this functionality into a quick plugin and also added some method_missing magic to enable form like link_to_nice_name(@person) ( which uses @person.nice_name ).

Grab it from http://linktomagic.googlecode.com/svn/link_to_magic/

Thanks, Pratik

ack! more method missing! this means more functions people can't look up in the API.

Why not name it something else that is searchable, and use a symbol or something

link_to_method(:nice_name, @person)

$ find . | grep \.rb$ | xargs grep -s 'method_missing' | wc -l 59

Agree.
