Dashed Dom
Dashed DOM_IDInspired by http://codefluency.com/articles/2006/05/30/rails-views-active-record-dom-ids/
IntroductionThe naming convention adopted is to split by – (dashes)
<classname><new or id><attribute>
i.e. person.dom_id # gives ‘person-3’ person.dom_id(‘name’) # gives ‘person-3-name’ person.dom_id(‘name’, ‘dummy’) # gives ‘dummy-3-name’
This allows splitting by – to obtain 3 logical portions: person.dom_id(‘name’).split(/-/) # [‘person’, ‘3’, ‘name’]
RelatedThe other convention is split by _ (underscores) http://topfunky.net/svn/plugins/dom_id/
My POV is that _ could potentially conflict with long names, e.g. senior_employee.dom_id('created_at') # senior_employee_45_created_at
With the _ convention, there is no convenient way to split that id into usable parts.
Licensedashed_dom_id plugin is released under the MIT license.
