Applying a class/id to current link in Haml

Rails
1

I’ve got a tabbed menu. It currently looks like this in Haml:

%ul#menu
%li= link_to_unless_current “…”, :controller => “…”
%li= link_to_unless_current “…”, :controller => “…”
%li= link_to_unless_current “…”, :controller => “…”
%li= link_to_unless_current “…”, :controller => “…”

I would like one of the

  • elements to get an id or class of “current”
    or “selected” or something when it is the current tab.

    How can I do that?

    Thanks.

    • Perhaps something like this (untested):

    %li{:class => ‘myClass’}= blah blah blah

    I found a solution based on your suggestion:

    %li{current(“home_page”)}= bla bla

    def current(controller)
    if @current_controller.eql? controller
    return {:id => “current”}
    else
    return {}
    end
    end

    @current_controller is set in the ApplicationController.
