[Ruby] On Action Mailer - It has to be easier?

2008-03-02T20:36:29-08:00

Haven't had much sleep and therefore my mind might have produced some crappy idea, but maybe might be able to elaborate a little bit more on it. What I would suggest is using the method_missing functionality in order to create the method. This might interfere with the parents implementation for creating the "deliver_" prefixed methods. But I am not that into metaprogramming. Moreover, one might wanna add some check if the rendering of the template works.

def method_missing(m, *args)      
  unless m.to_s[0, 8] == 'deliver_'
    from params[:email]
    recipients params[:to]
    subject params[:subject]
    body :params => params
  end
end

[Ruby] On Combining add/remove links

If you look a little bit closer, you will see, that the first param to Jason's refactored code is the model name, so your call is wrong.

<%= add_associated_link 'Email', "Add another" %>

Based on the nice code from macournoyer, I would suggest a slightly different way of calling the method. Why not to extend the String object and make the function available to all strings. Oh, and added a conveenient way to change the "bad" words.

class String
	def to_clean_english(bad_words = %w(stupid moron dumbass retard))
	  bad_words.inject(self) { |clean_sentence, insult| clean_sentence.gsub /#{insult}/i, '*' * insult.size }
	end
end

"you truly are a 'Stupid' moron, stupid sir!".to_clean_english()
