Question

Im using the following code within a method called a_level:

if(@program.theme==MyHelper::TemplateConstants::DEFAULT_LAYOUT)
  style = 'border: none'
elsif(@program.theme == MyHelper::TemplateConstants::LOGO_LAYOUT)
  style = 'border: top'
end

And the following within a method called b_level:

if(@program.theme==MyHelper::TemplateConstants::DEFAULT_LAYOUT)
  style = 'color: #888;'
elsif(@program.theme == MyHelper::TemplateConstants::LOGO_LAYOUT)
  style = 'color: #666;'

in the same helper. I want to use a hash instead, something like

my_styles = { :level_a => {... }, :level_b => {...} }

Im not getting it right.
Any help is appreciated!

I think you’re looking for this:

style_hash = {
    :program_logo => {
        UserMailerHelper::EmailTemplateConstants::DEFAULT_WITH_BANNER => 'border: none;height:50px;float:left; margin-right: 10px; padding: 2px;',
        UserMailerHelper::EmailTemplateConstants::LOGO_AT_BOTTOM => 'border: none;height:80px; padding: 2px 0px 2px 2px;'
    },
    :do_not_reply => {
        UserMailerHelper::EmailTemplateConstants::DEFAULT_WITH_BANNER => 'color: #888; padding-top: 5px; display:block; text-align:center',
        UserMailerHelper::EmailTemplateConstants::LOGO_AT_BOTTOM => 'color: #888; padding-top: 5px; border-top: 1px solid #D7D4C6;'
    }
}

and then in program_logo:

style = style_hash[:program_logo][@program.email_theme]

and in do_not_reply:

style = style_hash[:do_not_reply][@program.email_theme]

Or perhaps it would make more sense to arrange your style_hash like this:

style_hash = {
    UserMailerHelper::EmailTemplateConstants::DEFAULT_WITH_BANNER => {
        :program_logo => 'border: none;height:50px;float:left; margin-right: 10px; padding: 2px;',
        :do_not_reply => 'color: #888; padding-top: 5px; display:block; text-align:center'
    },
    UserMailerHelper::EmailTemplateConstants::LOGO_AT_BOTTOM => {
        :program_logo => 'border: none;height:80px; padding: 2px 0px 2px 2px;',
        :do_not_reply => 'color: #888; padding-top: 5px; border-top: 1px solid #D7D4C6;'
    }
}

And then access it like this:

# program_logo
style = style_hash[@program.email_theme][:program_logo]
# do_not_reply
style = style_hash[@program.email_theme][:do_not_reply]
