I am a fairly new Rails developer, allso i begun to develop with angular as it gives sense and clarity. I have come up to a bit of a problem. I use CANCAN to manage user->role wrights, but now it gives me a very hard time to implement with angular in cases where i have a repeater, as i need to tell if the user can edit,delete or view that specific row. The rails way is simple: if can? :edit,script %a{:href=>edit_script_path(script)} edit to do this in angular i came up with an idea to go through the results that came from db, and then simply add an attribute can_edit, can_view eg. @scripts.each do |script| script[:can_edit]=can?(:edit,script) end But then i get the Depriciation warning for adding arbitary attributes to active records. To add the cancan rules on the clinet side is just double trouble. Is there a way to set attributes on active record? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
