view-helpers

In my App_code , I have a helper function called FormatTelephone(string number) in Formatter.cshtml . I tried to access it in a partial view by @Formatter.FormatTelephone(number) . When I test it, it says Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Formatter' does not exist in the current context What is the likely cause of it? Thanks! I ran into this exact problem when deploying the site onto another server. Make sure the App_Code/Formatter.cshtml file is actually copied to the server! My mistake was the file has a build action that was set to ' None '. Right click on the file and select

During refactoring it would be quite handy just to copy part of HAML template and paste it to helper's code. Currently in such cases 1) I have to rewrite that part of view from scratch 2) I have to use that verbose syntax like content_tag or haml_tag. I know that it's possible to define partials with HAML systax that will serve as helper. Though 1) as for me it's inconvinient to create a separate file for each small tiny function 2) invocation syntax for partial is quite verbose. Ideally i'd like my *_helper class to look like this: - def some_helper(*its_args) .some_class = some_ruby

I want to call a javascript function that will be conditional upon a user's response to the confirm box. For example, I have the following anchor: <%= link_to 'Sign Out', destroy_session_path, confirm: 'Are you sure that you would like to sign out?', method: :delete %> Should I just abandon the unobtrusive javascript and bind my own jQuery callback to my anchor? Or is there some magical way to pass a callback function to the Rails url helper? I did not see any discussion of callbacks in the documentation . By following the link_to source, I see that the :confirm modifier is passed to the

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(@business)}' which isn't very DRY. I was wondering if anyone knows a good way to modify the link_to helper itself to automatically add an 'active' class to all links to the current page. If it helps, I'm open to using HAML or SLIM. This is a good case for writing your own helper that wraps the link_to. In your application_helper.rb you can write a method active_link_to that takes the same params as link_to + current_page, and then just calls

In TYPO3's Fluid or in Fedext/vhs, is there a viewhelper that can convert http://www.stackoverflow.com/questions/ask into www.stackoverflow.com ? PS: that's the goal: <f:format.raw><f:link.external uri="{item.link}">{item.just-display-the-domain}</f:link.external></f:format.raw> EDIT (adapting the question to the answer I got): If I have to build a custom view helper, how do I proceed? I really doubt if there would be any sensible reason for adding this kind of VH into the core, de facto, writing custom VH is like a piece of cake (when you finally realize it is) so simple formatters can be

I am just starting with handlebars and I am trying to do a simple double for loop in order to have all the day's time with 15 minute intervals. A very weird thing is happening where if the child and parent have the same values, the view object is being returned instead. This is my code: var handlebarsExpress = require('express-handlebars').create({ helpers: { for: function(from, to, incr, block) { var accum = ''; for(var i = from; i <= to; i += incr) { accum += block.fn(i); } return accum; } } }); app.engine('handlebars', handlebarsExpress.engine); app.set('view engine', 'handlebars'); ... ...

I wrote a form view helper, that extends the Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormMultiCheckbox and overwrites its renderOptions(...) method: <?php namespace MyNamespace\Form\View\Helper; use Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormMultiCheckbox as ZendFormMultiCheckbox; class FormMultiCheckbox extends ZendFormMultiCheckbox { protected function renderOptions(...) { ... $label = $escapeHtmlHelper($label); $labelOpen = $labelHelper->openTag($labelAttributes); switch ($labelPosition) { case self::LABEL_PREPEND: $template = $labelOpen . $label . $labelClose . '%s'; break; case self::LABEL_APPEND: default: $template = '%s'
