concern

concern(name, callable = nil, &block)

Instance Public methods

Define a routing concern using a name.

Concerns may be defined inline, using a block, or handled by another object, by passing that object as the second parameter.

The concern object, if supplied, should respond to call, which will receive two parameters:

* The current mapper
* A hash of options which the concern object may use

Options may also be used by concerns defined in a block by accepting a block parameter. So, using a block, you might do something as simple as limit the actions available on certain resources, passing standard resource options through the concern:

concern :commentable do |options|
  resources :comments, options
end
 
resources :posts, concerns: :commentable
resources :archived_posts do
  # Don't allow comments on archived posts
  concerns :commentable, only: [:index, :show]
end

Or, using a callable object, you might implement something more specific to your application, which would be out of place in your routes file.

# purchasable.rb
class Purchasable
  def initialize(defaults = {})
    @defaults = defaults
  end
 
  def call(mapper, options = {})
    options = @defaults.merge(options)
    mapper.resources :purchases
    mapper.resources :receipts
    mapper.resources :returns if options[:returnable]
  end
end
 
# routes.rb
concern :purchasable, Purchasable.new(returnable: true)
 
resources :toys, concerns: :purchasable
resources :electronics, concerns: :purchasable
resources :pets do
  concerns :purchasable, returnable: false
end

Any routing helpers can be used inside a concern. If using a callable, they're accessible from the Mapper that's passed to call.
