Using the toffee_list helper
This How-to applies to: Any version.
New with Toffee is the toffee_list helper. This allows you to stick toffee-generated tables anywhere in your application. Its as simple as putting the following code in one of your views...
<%= toffee_list 'person' %>
The syntax is simple, toffee_list <model_name>, when we put this in app/views/home/index.rhtml - in the example from the previous guide. We get the following...
<%= toffee_list 'person',
:list_per_page => 5,
:list_order => 'date_of_birth' %>
You may also want to hide the search bar, the pagination bar, and the options to edit and delete. To do this, edit the code as follows...
<%= toffee_list 'person',
:list_per_page => 5,
:list_order => 'date_of_birth',
:hide_search_bar => true,
:hide_pagination_bar => true,
:list_actions => [] %>
You can also choose which columns to show, for this example I've created a method called 'age' in person.rb which calculates the persons age based on their date of birth, so just as you would in the model where you would do something like:
@toffee_list_columns = ['first_name','last_name','age','place.name']
When doing it with the helper its as simple as...
<%= toffee_list 'person',And this produces...
:list_per_page => 5,
:list_order => 'date_of_birth',
:hide_search_bar => true,
:hide_pagination_bar => true,
:list_actions => [],
:list_columns => ['first_name','last_name','age','place.name'],
:list_headers => ['First Name', 'Last Name', 'Age', 'Place'] %>
