PrototypeHelper :with Helper
This method is for use in conjuction with the Ruby on Rails Module <a href="http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html">ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper</a>.
The options hash takes any number of key/value pairs the key becomes the name of the parameter passed in the with value and the value becomes a javascript expression
key — name of the parameter
value — a fragment of javascript that will be the value of the parameter
Example
<pre>>> params_for_with(:clean_range => 'clean_range', :raw_range => 'raw_range', :total_count => 'total_count')
=> 'total_count=' + total_count + '&' + 'clean_range=' + clean_range + '&' + 'raw_range=' + raw_range</pre>
Don‘t forget you won’t necessarily get the parameters out in the same order you put them in, such is the nature of hashes
def params_for_with(options = {})
options.collect { |param_name, js_fragment| "'#{param_name}='+#{js_fragment}" }.join("+'&'+")
# or this one
#options.stringify_keys.collect { |param_name, js_fragment| '"' << param_name << '="+' << js_fragment }.join('+"&"+')
end
