Question

Here is a code similar to one I have. What I need to do is to redirect from a nested method to other page and stop execution all actions it was called from. In this this case it’s method2. It should redirect to '/home/index' and I need to prevent redirecting to '/home/index123'

    class MyController::ApplicationController

    def index
     #some work
      method1
     #some work  that must be done if there is no redirect
     #some work   that must be done if there is no redirect
      redirect_to '/home/index123' 
    end

    private

    def method1
     #some work
     method2
     #some work that must be done if there is no redirect
     #some work  that must be done if there is no redirect
    end

    def method2
     #some work
     #I need to redirect to other page just from here!
     redirect_to '/home/index'
    end


end

Your ideas?

Answer 1

Make your redirection a variable. Set this variable as the return value of your method.
For instance:

 def method2
   #some work
   #I need to redirect to other page just from here!
   '/home/index'
 end



def index
     #some work
      to_action = method1
      redirect_to to_action
    end
