RubyonRails 中控制器之间重用代码的最佳实践

我有一些控制器方法想要分享。在 ruby on ails 中进行此操作的最佳实践是什么?我应该创建控制器扩展的抽象类,还是应该创建模块并将其添加到每个控制器中?下面是我想分享的控制器方法:

def driving_directions
@address_to = params[:address_to]
@address_from = params[:address_from]
@map_center = params[:map_center_start]


# if we were not given a center point to start our map on
# let's create one.
if !@map_center && @address_to
@map_center = GeoKit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(@address_to).ll
elsif !@map_center && @address_from
@map_center = GeoKit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(@address_from).ll
end
end


def printer_friendly
starting_point = params[:starting_point].split(',').collect{|e|e.to_f}
ne = params[:ne].split(',').collect{|e|e.to_f}
sw = params[:sw].split(',').collect{|e|e.to_f}
size = params[:size].split(',').collect{|e|e.to_f}
address = params[:address]


@markers = retrieve_points(ne,sw,size,false)
@map = initialize_map([[sw[0],sw[1]],[ne[0],ne[1]]],[starting_point[0],starting_point[1]],false,@markers,true)
@address_string = address
end

I actually think a module is the best way to share code amongst controllers. Helpers are good if you want to share code amongst views. Helpers are basically glorified modules, so if you don't need view level access, I suggest placing a module in your lib folder.

Once you create the module, you'll have to use the include statement to include it in the desired controllers.

I agree with the module approach. Create a separate Ruby file in your lib directory and put the module in the new file.

The most obvious way would be to add the methods to your ApplicationController, but I am sure you know that already.

In my opinion, normal OO design principles apply:

  • If the code is really a set of utilities that doesn't need access to object state, I would consider putting it in a module to be called separately. For instance, if the code is all mapping utilities, create a module Maps, and access the methods like: Maps::driving_directions.
  • If the code needs state and is used or could be used in every controller, put the code in ApplicationController.
  • If the code needs state and is used in a subset of all controllers that are closely and logically related (i.e. all about maps) then create a base class (class MapController < ApplicationController) and put the shared code there.
  • If the code needs state and is used in a subset of all controllers that are not very closely related, put it in a module and include it in necessary controllers.

In your case, the methods need state (params), so the choice depends on the logical relationship between the controllers that need it. In addition:

Also:

  • Use partials when possible for repeated code and either place in a common 'partials' directory or include via a specific path.
  • Stick to a RESTful approach when possible (for methods) and if you find yourself creating a lot of non-RESTful methods consider extracting them to their own controller.

Another possibility:

If your common code needs state and you want to share the behavior amongst controllers, you could put it in a plain old ruby class in either your model or lib directory. Remember that model classes don't have to be persistent even though all ActiveRecord classes are persistent. In other words, it's acceptable to have transient model classes.

if you want to share codes between controller and helpers, then you should try creating a module in library. You can use @template and @controller for accessing method in controller and helper as well. Check this for more details http://www.shanison.com/?p=305

I know this question was asked 6 years ago. Just want to point out that in Rails 4, there're now Controller Concerns that're a more out of the box solution.

I found that one effective way to share identical code across controllers is to have one controller inherit from the other (where the code lives). I used this approach to share identical methods defined in my controllers with another set of namespaced controllers.
