I’m implementing a helper library which provide both view helpers and
controller helpers. To save the end user from having to specifically
pass in a reference to self on every call I was wondering if there was a
way for a class to get access to the calling controller object
automagically.
One suggestion was Thread.current[:controller] … but that sounds a bit
nasty
e.g.
class MyTestController < ActionController:Base
def test
@ref = MyModule::MyClass.new({:a_load_of_settings => ‘go here’})
end
end
module MyModule
class MyClass
def initialize(settings ={})
#I need a reference to the controller
end
end
end
