List of models in Hobo

[Luke]

Hi guys - first of all fantastic work with Hobo. I'm glad to be doing
web dev again in a world where things have come along this far.

I have a project where LifeCycles will be really useful. A user can
add a bunch of different LifeCycle based models to a list and then
manipulate them individually.

My question is what's the best pattern for doing this with Hobo?

Perhaps the fact that I'm using LifeCycles is really a red herring - I
guess the real question is what is the best way with Hobo for a user
to have a list of instances of different classes/models?

Sorry if my explanation is poor - it's been a while since I've been in
the Ruby world so my language is still getting back up to speed

TIA

Do you want to list the instances of a class or the classes?

[kevinpfromnm]

So you have a bunch of model instances from different types and want to display them?

Assuming this is mostly about the view side, there's a simple approach of putting them all in an array and setting that array as the context for a <collection> tag.  Hobo will handle using the appropriate card based off the class of each instance.  Cards can be customized on a per class basis in your taglib definition(s).

<extend tag="card" for="ModelName">

Nice - I'll try this approach.

Thanks for the help, I don't think I would have found this by myself

I can't recall if there's something in the book about using polymorphic tags for collections or not.  I might've hinted at it in the tutorial I wrote.

That would be a good addition...
