Dynamic Paths in Helper

Question

I\'m trying to create a helper method for my admin links. In quite a few views I have the code

<% if current_user %>
<%= link_to \"Edit\", edit_model_pa         


        

Answer 1

basically you need to transform the class name of the model into something pointing to the correct path.

model_name = m.class.to_s.underscore

And then use it to call the appropriate path methods

link_to "edit", send("edit_#{model_name}_path", m)

As an aside, you don't need to put the link_tos in #{} because that function simply returns a string.
