RailsNamespacePathHelper

An extension for namespaced controllers

Namespacing is a common pattern in rails, however...

Rails does not account for namespacing when looking for helpers on controllers

• Eg. for Admin::TasksController
  • helpers are declared admin_tasks_url
  • however rails bolierplate expects tasks_url to be available

This gem dynamically creates aliases for these methods so that nothing needs to be reconfigured

Usage

To use simply call:

• has_namespaced_paths at the top of each controller with a namespace
• or has_namespaced_path_plural / has_namespaced_path_singular for only plural/singular paths

Like this:

# in controllers/admin/tasks_controller.rb
class Admin::TasksController < ApplicationController
  has_namespaced_paths

  ...

end

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add rails_namespace_path_helper
