sanemat / actionview-link_to_block

Add helper method link_to_block, link_to with block

Actionview::LinkToBlock

Add helper method, link_to_block, link_to_block_if, link_to_block_unless, link_to_block_unless_current. This is symmetrical to link_to, link_to_if, link_to_unless, link_to_unless_current.

link_to_block* always accepts block.

Usage

link_to accepts complex html as block, like below:

<%= link_to user_path(@user) do %>
  <i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i> Do it@
<% end %>
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9401942/using-link-to-with-embedded-html

But link_to_if with block behavior is below:

<%= link_to_if condition, user_path(@user) do %>
  Appear if condition falsy
<% end %>

Then use link_to_block_if below:

<%= link_to_block_if condition, user_path(@user) do %>
  <i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i> Do it@
<% end %>

#=> if condition truthy, then shows html and link, else if condition falsy, then show only html.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'actionview-link_to_block'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install actionview-link_to_block

Requirement

actionview-link_to_block has no gem dependency in gemspec, but this is not correctly. actionview extracts from actionpack on rails4.1. You can see Appraisals file and /gemfiles directory.
