# Class methods shared by all models # # Many class methods can be overridden for particular use cases by setting other methods # or instance variables. For example, scaffold_fields is a method that takes an action, # such as :new. scaffold_fields(:new) will first check if scaffold_new_fields is a method, and # will call it if so. If not, it will check if @scaffold_new_fields is defined, and use it if # so. If not, will take the default course of action. # # The first argument to the overridable method is used to search for the override method # or instance variable. If a override method is used, the remaining # arguments to the overridable method will be passed to it. Otherwise, the default method will # be used. # # For example, scaffold_find_object(action, id, options) is an overridable method. # That means if :delete is the action, it will first look for scaffold_delete_find_object, and if it # exists it will call scaffold_delete_find_object(id, options). # # If a method can be overridden by an instance variable, it should have only one argument. # # The methods that are overridable by other methods are (without the "scaffold_" prefix): # add_associated_objects, associated_objects, association_find_object, association_find_objects, # find_object, find_objects, new_associated_object_values, remove_associated_objects, save, # unassociated_objects, and filter_attributes. # # The methods that are overridable by other methods or instance variables are (again, without the # "scaffold_" prefix): associated_human_name, association_use_auto_complete, fields, include, # select_order, attributes, include_association, and select_order_association. # # Most methods that find objects check options[:session][scaffold_session_value] as a # security check if scaffold_session_value is set. # # There are some methods that are so similar that they are dynamically defined using # define_method. They are: # # - scaffold_association_list_class: The html class attribute of the association list # - scaffold_habtm_with_ajax: Whether to use Ajax when scaffolding habtm associations for this model # - scaffold_load_associations_with_ajax: Whether to use Ajax when loading associations on the edit page # - scaffold_browse_records_per_page: The number of records to show on each page when using the browse scaffold # - scaffold_convert_text_to_string: Whether to use input of type text instead of a text area for columns of type :text # - scaffold_search_results_limit: The maximum number of results to show on the scaffolded search results page # # Each of these methods can be set with an instance variable. If the instance variable is # not set, it will use the default value from SCAFFOLD_OPTIONS. module ScaffoldingExtensions::MetaModel # Sets the default options for all models, which can be overriden by class instance # variables (iv): # - :text_to_string: If true, by default, use input type text instead of textarea # for fields of type text (iv: @scaffold_convert_text_to_string) # - :table_classes: Set the default table classes for different scaffolded HTML tables # (iv: @scaffold_table_classes) # - :column_types: Override the default column type for a given attribute # (iv: @scaffold_column_types) # - :column_options: Override the default column options for a given attribute # (iv: @scaffold_column_options_hash) # - :column_names: Override the visible names of columns for each attribute # (iv: @scaffold_column_names) # - :association_list_class: Override the html class for the association list in the edit view # (iv: @scaffold_association_list_class) # - :browse_limit: The default number of records per page to show in the # browse scaffold.
