Working With Rails

Context

= Context Plugin

It's very simple.

Pass context information to actions, and, in the controller, make it easy to do handle rendering of different content depending on that context.

In your views: Pass a _context parameter to actions (you can use the context_tag helper in forms)

In your actions: Use in_context. Example:

render :update do |page|
  # Stuff at this point happens regardless of context
  in_context do |context|
    context.nil? do
      # This happens if no context is passed
    end
    context.workflow_one do
      # If params[:_context] is "Workflow One" 
    end
    context.workflow_two do
    # If params[:_context] is "Workflow Two" 
    end
  end
end
