Draper Decorators

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common challenge in Rails applications of keeping presentation logic out of models and controllers, leading to cleaner, more maintainable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Separation of Concerns: Implements the Draper gem to separate business logic (models) from presentation logic (views).
• View Helper Integration: Provides easy access to Rails view helpers within decorators.
• Association Decoration: Automatically decorates associated model objects.
• Context Passing: Allows passing contextual information (like the current user) to decorators.
• Use Case: When you need to format dates, combine names, or generate HTML snippets for display in a Rails view, this Skill guides you on how to encapsulate that logic cleanly within a decorator, rather than cluttering your models or controllers.

Quick Start

Use the Draper gem to create a decorator for your User model to format the full name.
