Usage

Gem provide several helpers for easy render jQuery-UI dialog and list with ActiveRecord errors.

jQuery-UI dialog

Helper render_base_dialog. It take parameters like a dialog, but in more easy way and with less required parameters.

render_base_dialog(
  render_template:  'example_template',
  locals:           {id: 42},
  resizable:        false,
  height:           'auto',
  width:            'auto',
  before_close: {
    condition:      true,
    action:         'return true;'
  },
  buttons: {
    load_button: {
      name:         l(:load_button),
      action:       "$('#modal-window-ajax-form').submit();", // or name of js function from global scope
      class:        'my-first-css-class'
    },
    close_button: {
      name:         l(:close_button),
      action:       "$(this).dialog('close');", // or name of js function from global scope
      class:        'my-second-css-class'
    }
  }

Here we can skip any parameters except render_template or render_partial.

NOTE: by default modal window puts in #ajax-modal element; you can specify other selector in window_selector option.

ActiveRecord errors

Helper render_active_record_result provide easy way to render list with several AR errors.

render_active_record_result(object: object,
                            success_message: l(:success_message))

If object.errors.blank? you see value of success_message.

ErrorsContainer errors

Helper render_errors_container_result provide easy way to render nested lists with messages from ErrorsContainer.

render_errors_container_result(object: object,
                               success_message: l(:success_message),
                               container_class: 'upper-ul-class',           # class for upper ul element
                               element_class: 'first-li-class',             # class for li elements which contain group name
                               errors_group_class: 'div-in-li-class')       # class for div with errors group name

CSS-class parameters are optional.
