自动检测新控制器以向菜单添加动作

Question

I am developing a Rails 3 application that will have an admin area with a side menu (similar to the Wordpress admin menu.)

I was wondering what the best method would be to have rails automatically detect when a new controller is added to the admin and add the appropriate actions to the menu.

Answer 1

Anything about 'Admin' needs to be done? It's best that you use Active Admin

It will take care of your problem too. I would highly recommend that you check it out.

Answer 2

You can get a list of controllers with this code:

Rails.application.routes.routes.map do |route| route.defaults[:controller] end

Inspect the output, as it will give you duplicate results, filter them and you can use it.

As a side note: are you sure you want all controllers in your admin interface? It makes no sense, maybe you should try Active Admin, has suggested earlier.
