Add an 'active' class to all active links in rails?

Question

Basically, I have a lot of code that looks like this:

link_to t(\'.profile\'), business_path(@business), class: \'#{\'active\' if current_page? business_path(@bu

I did the same that @egyamado. I needed to use AwesomeIcons too, so:

A helper:

def active_class?(link_path)
    'active' if current_page?(link_path)
end

And it was my view:

 <%= link_to my_controller_page_path,
    :title => "My Controller Page",
    :class => "other_name_class #{active_class?(my_controller_page_path)}" do  %>
                 My Controller Page
<%end%>

In another kind of Link, for example inside a Li.

#In this case I put a extra validation in root_path

  <%= link_to my_controller_page_path,
      :title => "Page 1",
      :class => "other_name_class" do  %>
      Page 1
  <%end%>


  <%= link_to my_controller_page_2_path,
      :title => "Page 2",
      :class => "other_name_class" do  %>
      Page 2
  <%end%>
 

It worked for me.
