Methods

Public Instance methods

Reference this controller‘s slice module directly.

@return <Module> A slice module.

122:           def slice; self.class.slice; end

Generate a url - takes the slice‘s :path_prefix into account.

@param *args<Array[Symbol,Hash]>

  There are several possibilities regarding arguments:
  - when passing a Hash only, the :default route of the current
    slice will be used
  - when a single Symbol is passed, it's used as the route name,
    while the slice itself will be the current one
  - when two Symbols are passed, the first will be the slice name,
    the second will be the route name
  - a Hash with additional params can optionally be passed

@return <String> A uri based on the requested slice.

@example slice_url(:controller => ‘foo’, :action => ‘bar’) @example slice_url(:awesome, :format => ‘html’) @example slice_url(:forum, :posts, :format => ‘xml’)

Private Instance methods

This is called after the controller is instantiated to figure out where to for templates under the _template_root. This helps the controllers of a slice to locate templates without looking in a subdirectory with the name of the module. Instead it will just be app/views/controller/*

@param context<to_str> The controller context (the action or template name). @param type<to_str> The content type. Defaults to nil. @param controller<to_str> The name of the controller. Defaults to controller_name.

@return <String>

  Indicating where to look for the template for the current controller,
  context, and content-type.
