Best way to DRY this?

Rails
1

I am super new to rails and I was wondering how could I DRY this

    <%- for page in @pages -%>
  • <%= link_to_remote page.title, :url => { :action => "view_page", :id => page.id} %> <%= link_to_remote (image_tag('add')), :url => { :action => 'add_sub', :id => page.id } %>
    • <%- if page.children -%>
      <%- for subpage in page.children -%>
    • <%= link_to_remote subpage.title, :url => { :action => "view_page", :id => subpage.id} %> <%= link_to_remote (image_tag('delete')), :url => { :action => 'delete_page', :id => subpage.id } %>
      • <%- end -%>
    <%- end -%> <%- end -%>

Vincent, maybe I’m being dense here, but I’m not sure where you’re
repeating
yourself.

Vincent, while I agree that you have some logic in your view, I’m not
sure
that it’s too much. I don’t see where you’d need to pare something
down,
but maybe someone else will. It looks fine to me.

Terry, Sorry I used the wrong wording. I think what I meant to say was I
seem to have alot of logic in my view I would like a more elegant way to
achieve what I have here. a helper? im am not sure.

Looks pretty good, but if things feel ugly, you might moving the
inside of each loop intto partials:

So your whole template is reduced to:

    <%= render :partial => 'page', :collection => @pages %>

and then _page.rhtml would be:

  • <%= link_to_remote page.title, :url => { :action => "view_page", :id => page.id} %> <%= link_to_remote (image_tag('add')), :url => { :action => 'add_sub', :id => page.id } %>

    • <%= render :partial => ‘subpage’, :collection => page.children if
    page.children %>

    and finally _subpage.rhtml would be:

  • <%= link_to_remote subpage.title, :url => { :action => "view_page", :id => subpage.id} %> <%= link_to_remote (image_tag('delete')), :url => {:action => 'delete_page', :id => subpage.id } %>

    • More files, but each one is simple. Just food for thought.
