Class Method Details

._render_with_renderer_method_name(key)

[ GitHub ] 

  


# File 'actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/renderers.rb', line 91



def self._render_with_renderer_method_name(key)
  "_render_with_renderer_#{key}"
end


  








  

    .add(key, &block)  
  



  

    

Adds a new renderer to call within controller actions. A renderer is invoked by passing its name as an option to AbstractController::Rendering#render. To create a renderer pass it a name and a block. The block takes two arguments, the first is the value paired with its key and the second is the remaining hash of options passed to render.



Create a csv renderer:



ActionController::Renderers.add :csv do |obj, options|
  filename = options[:filename] || 'data'
  str = obj.respond_to?(:to_csv) ? obj.to_csv : obj.to_s
  send_data str, type: Mime[:csv],
    disposition: "attachment; filename=#{filename}.csv"
end



Note that we used Mime for the csv mime type as it comes with ::Rails. For a custom renderer, you’ll need to register a mime type with Mime::Type.register.



To use the csv renderer in a controller action:



def show
  @csvable = Csvable.find(params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.csv { render csv: @csvable, filename: @csvable.name }
  end
end

def self.add(key, &block)
  define_method(_render_with_renderer_method_name(key), &block)
  RENDERERS << key.to_sym
end


  








  

    .remove(key)  
  



  

    

This method is the opposite of add method.



To remove a csv renderer:



ActionController::Renderers.remove(:csv)

def self.remove(key)
  RENDERERS.delete(key.to_sym)
  method_name = _render_with_renderer_method_name(key)
  remove_possible_method(method_name)
end

# File 'actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/renderers.rb', line 145



def _render_to_body_with_renderer(options)
  _renderers.each do |name|
    if options.key?(name)
      _process_options(options)
      method_name = Renderers._render_with_renderer_method_name(name)
      return send(method_name, options.delete(name), options)
    end
  end
  nil
end


  








  

    #render_to_body(options)  
  



  

    

Called by render in ::AbstractController::Rendering which sets the return value as the response_body.



If no renderer is found, super returns control to ActionView::Rendering.render_to_body, if present.
