Flutie
Flutie provides some utility view helpers for use with Rails applications.
There are helpers for setting a page title and for generating body classes.
Installation & Upgrading
Flutie is a Railtie. We support the versions of Ruby and Rails listed in .travis.yml.
It should be run as a gem and included in your Gemfile:
gem "flutie"Helpers
Flutie provides helper methods for use within Rails layouts and views.
Page Title
The page_title method can be used like:
<title><%= page_title %></title>By default, it will produce results like:
<title>Appname : page title</title>- "App name" comes from the module name of the rails application created by your
app, i.e.
Appname::Applicationwill produce "Appname" - "page" comes from trying
content_for(:page_title)and assumes you are usingcontent_forwith:page_titlesymbol on your pages. - The separator defaults to " : "
These can be overridden by passing an options hash including :app_name,
:page_title_symbol and :separator hash keys. For example:
content_for(:site_page_title, 'My title of my page')
page_title(:app_name => 'My app name', :page_title_symbol => :site_page_title, :separator => " | ")would produce:
<title>My app name | My title of my page</title>You can also reverse the position of the :app_name and the :site_page_title
values by using the :reverse option. For example:
content_for(:site_page_title, 'My title of my page')
page_title(:app_name => 'My app name', :page_title_symbol => :site_page_title, reverse: true)would produce:
<title>My title of my page : My app name</title>Body Class
The body_class method can be used like this in a layout:
<body class="<%= body_class %>">This will produce a string including the controller name and controller-action
name pair. For example, The WidgetsController#show action would produce:
<body class="widgets widgets-show">Anything which has been added via content_for(:extra_body_classes) will be
added to the end, for example views like:
content_for(:extra_body_classes, 'special-page')
<body class="<%= body_class %>">would produce:
<body class="widgets widgets-show special-page">How to contribute
