Modal::Me

A simple gem to use bootstrap's modal for actions in rails.

Note that i am using Bootstrap for the modal window.

if you don't use bootstrap just ommit bootstrap's css and write your own css.

See app/views/shared/_modal_me.html.erb for the html markup

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'modal-me', git: 'git@github.com:isieo/modal-me.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

In app/assets/application.js after :

//= require jquery

Add

//= require modal_me

Usage

in your view

// the format is almost same as link_to except that the last argument is the title of the modal
<%= modal_me_to 'Edit', edit_user_path(user), {:class=>'btn btn-primary'}, "Edit User" %>

in your controller:

def show
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.text { render 'show.html',layout: false  }
  end
end

This will return you the modal without the page layout.

in your layout add:

render 'shared/modal_me'
