Ask subjects which subject rule should match against #877

Open kwando opened 11 years ago

It would be nice to have CanCan could ask the subject which it should match against, like the following code.

class BlogPost < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class BlogPostPresenter < SimpleDelegator
  def cancan_subject # <-- bad name for the hook...
     __getobj__
  end
end

# in some view file
@presented_blog_post = BlogPostPresenter.new(@blog_post)

# it would be awesome if both of these worked
can? :update, @blog_post
can? :update, @presented_blog_post

Right now I need to know if I pass a decorated/presented object into the cancan call or not. Ask me if anythings is unclear and pardon me if this feature already exists (could not find any reference to it).

I figured out that if I delegate the class instance method to the delegated object it all works as I want..

Thanks for your submission! The ryanb/cancan repository has been inactive since Sep 06, 2013. Since only Ryan himself has commit permissions, the CanCan project is on a standstill.

CanCan has many open issues, including missing support for Rails 4. To keep CanCan alive, an active fork exists at cancancommunity/cancancan. The new gem is cancancan. More info is available at #994.

If your pull request or issue is still applicable, it would be really appreciated if you resubmit it to CanCanCan.

We hope to see you on the other side!
