h1. Totally Tabular!

  Assuming I have 5 people with:

    * first_name

    * last_name

    * registration_status

  My pointy-haired boss wants to see a list of these people on our

  administrative dashboard. Sure, I could write some ugly ERB like so:


  

    

      

      

        First Name

        Last Name

        Registration Status

      

      

      

      <% @people.each do |person| %>

        

          Michael Bluth

          Bluth

          

            <% if person.registered? %>

              Registered

            <% else %>

              Unregistered

            <% end %>

        

      <% end %>

      

    

  



  But why? I mean, we're using Ruby for Pete's sake! How about a cleaner way to do the same thing?


  

    <%= person_table(people_presenter.people, :class => 'people') %>

  



  Okay, so that's just a custom Rails helper method. Nothing special. But let's look at the definition of the helper method! That's where the special sauce is.


  

    def person_table(people, attributes={})

      TableView.new(@people, :class => 'people') do

        define_column("First Name") do |person|

          header_attributes!(:class => 'header')

          row_attributes!(:class => person.registration_status)

          template! do

            person.first_name

          end

        end

        define_column("Last Name") do |person|

          template! do

            person.last_name

          end

        end

        define_column("Registration Status") do |person|

          template! do

            if person.registered?

              content_tag(:strong, "Registered")

            else

              content_tag(:em, "Unregistered")

            end

          end

        end

      end

    end
