I have a helper which will be placing certain tags through a view.
These tags have “Element.toggle” sorts of relations, so I need to have
different id’s assigned to their HTML elements.
What I would like to do is somehow count them as they are installed in
the view and reset at the top of the view. My current thinking is:
— In controller —
before_filter :myhelper_resetcount
def someaction
end
— In view —
<%= myhelper_tag() %>
… Some stuff …
<%= myhelper_tag() %>
… Some stuff …
<%= myhelper_tag() %>
…
— Results —
Is there another way to do this? Does this seem reasonable to use the
‘before_filter’ to reset the count? It feels a little awkward to me.
