Column Helpers for Active Scaffold Exports

[Dennis Bulgatz]

When using the active_scaffold_export, can helper methods be used to render associations?

If so, what is the pattern to define the helper?

Do not want users to see things like:
#<TrOdc::ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy:0x00007fd6268b6f38>

Tried this, which works fine in the list view

  def sub_tdn_tr_odcs_column(record, options)

    "ODC"

  end

Thanks!

Hello

Helper override for export are called <column>_export_column:

https://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold_export/blob/master/lib/active_scaffold/helpers/export_helpers.rb#L31

They get only record argument, you can call your _column helpers from those. Default helpers rendering association columns in export are  format_plural_association_export_column and format_singular_association_export_column and they use to_label method. Probably export gem should be updated to match format_association_column helper in latest ActiveScaffold which support column.options[:label_method] to use another method instead of to_label
