Popover arguments serialization
Arguments passed to a popover with the .with
class method are serialized prior to be inserted in DOM so they can be sent later when rendering popover. This serialization step pretty much works like ActionMailer
or ActiveJob
params and is basically turning arguments into JSON. It means that objects implementing the GlobalID interface, typically any ActiveRecord::Base
instance, will not be stringified but turn into global id so you won’t have to deserialize it when getting it from params.
Examples:
class Project < ApplicationRecord
end
<% @project.class # => Project %>
<%= coupdoeil_popover_tag ProjectPopover.with(project: @project).summary do %>
<p><%= @project.name %></p>
<% end %>
All params passed to .with
are accessible through #params
within action method as a HashWithIndifferentAccess
.
class ProjectPopover < ApplicationPopover
def summary
@project = params[:project]
@project.class # => Project
end
end
