# Helpers to sort tables using clickable column headers. # # Author: Stuart Rackham , March 2005. # Jean-Philippe Lang, 2009 # License: This source code is released under the MIT license. # # - Consecutive clicks toggle the column's sort order. # - Sort state is maintained by a session hash entry. # - CSS classes identify sort column and state. # - Typically used in conjunction with the Pagination module. # # Example code snippets: # # Controller: # # helper :sort # include SortHelper # # def list # sort_init 'last_name' # sort_update %w(first_name last_name) # @items = Contact.find_all nil, sort_clause # end # # Controller (using Pagination module): # # helper :sort # include SortHelper # # def list # sort_init 'last_name' # sort_update %w(first_name last_name) # @contact_pages, @items = paginate :contacts, # :order_by => sort_clause, # :per_page => 10 # end # # View (table header in list.rhtml): # # # # <%= sort_header_tag('id', :title => 'Sort by contact ID') %> # <%= sort_header_tag('last_name', :caption => 'Name') %> # <%= sort_header_tag('phone') %> # <%= sort_header_tag('address', :width => 200) %> # # # # - Introduces instance variables: @sort_default, @sort_criteria # - Introduces param :sort # module SortHelper class SortCriteria def initialize @criteria = [] end def available_criteria=(criteria) unless criteria.is_a?(Hash) criteria = criteria.inject({}) {|h,k| h[k] = k; h} end @available_criteria = criteria end def from_param(param) @criteria = param.to_s.split(',').collect {|s| s.split(':')[0..1]} normalize! end def criteria=(arg) @criteria = arg normalize! end def to_param @criteria.collect {|k,o| k + (o ?
