Creating A Two Dimensional Table With Rails

11.04.2006

| 6327 views |

        This code creates a two dimensional table out of data passed from the controller. The code is pretty basic, but there's not much documentation on it.

<table>
<% @instance.in_groups_of(5) do |row| %>
<tr> 
<% row.each do |data| %>
        # The nil check is required because Rails pads empty table cells with nil.
	<td><%= data.field unless data.nil? %></td>
<% end %>
</tr> 
<% end %>
</table>
