Forum: RSpec Global before block for specific spec type

So previously it seems it was possible to configure global before block 
which
will get run, say only for controller specs (people even used that I
think 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/590100/setting-the-http-referer-in-a-global-beforeall-in-rspec/592219#592219
)

Now I wasn't able to find anything like that, and the closest thing I
came up with
is:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before(:all) do
    if self.class.metadata[:type] == :view
      # do my dirty deeds with ViewExampleGroup
    end
  end
end

Is that OK?

Better to do this:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before(:all, :type => :view) do
    # do stuff
  end
end
