Overview¶ ↑
Mold
is a view template handler for Rails 3+ that renders Ruby objects to JSON.
Compatibility¶ ↑
Mold
is compatible with Rails Rails 3.x.
Installation¶ ↑
Install Mold
as a gem:
gem install mold
or add to your Gemfile:
gem 'mold'
Usage¶ ↑
It’s pretty straight-forward to create a Mold
JSON template, just create the structure as you would in a Hash:
# app/controllers/users_controller.rb class Users < ActionController:Base def show @user = User.first end end # app/views/users/show.mold { :user => { :id => @user.id, :name => @user.name } }
You can also create and use view partials in Mold:
# app/controllers/users_controller.rb class Users < ActionController:Base def index @users = User.all end end # app/views/users/_user.json.mold { :user => { :id => user.id, :name => user.name } } # app/views/users/index.json.mold { :users => @users.map{ |user| render(:partial => 'user', :object => user) } }
Writing code in a Mold
view also works:
# app/views/users/show.json.mold time = Time.now { :user => { :time => time } }
Inspiration¶ ↑
This gem has been inspired mostly by ruby_template_handler.
