HtmlSkeleton
HtmlSkeleton provides the frame for a calendar or a table, i.e. no loops are required to build up the HTML structure. Filling the skeleton is done via parameters and, in particular, with procs (Proc.new, lambda). See below Default Options.
Installation
As usual:
# Gemfile
gem "html_skeleton"and run "bundle install".
Calendar
A simple helper for creating an HTML calendar. The "calendar" method will be available to your view templates.
Procs may be supplied to generate particular HTML-code for a day or the year. In the example below clicking a day triggers an action.
Examples
HtmlSkeleton.new.calendar # calendar for current year
HtmlSkeleton.new.calendar year: 2012 # calendar for year 2012
HtmlSkeleton.new.calendar year: 2012, month: 8 # calendar for August 2012
HtmlSkeleton.new.calendar {|date|
link = "/#{controller_name}/toggle/#{@resource.id}?date=#{date}"
style = @resource.holidays.include?(date.to_s) ?
'font-weight:bold; color:red' : ''
%Q{ <a style="#{style}" href="#{link}"> #{date.day.to_s} </a>}
}Default Options
year: DateTime.now.year,
title: DateTime.now.year,
rows: 3,
calendar_class: 'skeleton',
day_names: Date::DAYNAMES.dup,
month_names: Date::MONTHNAMES,
abbrev: (0..1),

Table
A simple helper for creating an HTML table.
Table only takes care of the HTML tags and expects lambdas/strings to be supplied by the user.
Examples
rows = %w{a bb ccc}
cols = %w{1 22}
HtmlSkeleton.new.table(rows, cols) {|row, col|
col == '1' ? '<td>bingo</td>' : '<td></td>'
}HtmlSkeleton.new.table(@users, %w{email address},
th_attribute: lambda { |col| col.name },
legend: 'Users') { |row, col| "<td>#{ row.send(col) }</td>" }stripes = %w{odd even}
proc = ->(row) { k = stripes.shift; stripes << k; %Q{class="#{k}"} }
HtmlSkeleton.new.table(@users, %w{email address},
tr_attribute: proc,
legend: 'Users') { |row, col|
"<td>#{ row.send(col) }</td>"
}Default Options
legend: nil,
col_legend: ->(x) { x.to_s },
row_legend: ->(x) { x.id },
th_attribute: ->(col) { nil },
tr_attribute: ->(row) { nil },
table_class: 'skeleton',
cell_proc: block || ->(row, col) { "<td>#{row} #{col}</td>"}Curious?
