Get the column name from the Model instance

I thought it would be nice if there was a key name list for display when creating the list screen.

procedure

1. Model creation

Create some model

models/user.rb

class User < ApplicationRecord
  include Table #If you include it here, you can use it as an instance method

  attribute :name
  attribute :email
  attribute :login_id
  attribute :password

end

2. Create a method to get the column name from the Model instance

models/concerns/table.rb

module Table
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  #Get column name (symbol) as an array
  def table_keys
    self.class.column_names.map(&:to_sym).reject { |column| %i[id created_at updated_at].include?(column) }

    #Click here if you want to get it as a character string
    # self.class.column_names.reject { |column| %w[id created_at updated_at].include?(column) }
  end

  #Get column name
  def col_name(column_name)
    self.class.human_attribute_name(column_name)
  end
end

1. Get ʻUser from @ useretc. withself.class`
2. Get the column name list with column_names.map (&: to_sym) and convert it to a symbol
3. reject { |column| %w[id created_at updated_at].include?(column) }Exclude unnecessary column names in

3. Display on the list screen

ruby:views/users/index.html.slim

- if @users.present?
  table.table
    thead
      tr
        - first_user = @users.first
        - first_user.table_keys.each do |key|
          = tag.td first_user.col_name(key)
    tbody
      - @users.each do |user| 
        tr
          - user.table_keys.each do |key|
            = tag.td {|tag| tag.span user.send(key)}
- else
p No data

Finally

This kind of screen is often used for devise and active_admin, but it seems that it can also be used when passing the validation key to the front side.
