Question

On my non-high_voltage pages, I’m useing the following code to add an “active” class to the navigation element if the user is on the page: <li class="<%= 'active' if params[:controller] == 'home' %>"><a href="/">Home</a></li>

What is the equivalent way of doing it for my high_voltage pages (I want the active class on the li)?

<li class="nav-item"><%= link_to 'Plans', page_path("plans") %></li>

Answer 1

I ended up with this:

<li class="nav-item <%= 'active' if page_path == '/about' %>">
  <%= link_to "About", page_path("about") %>
</li>

High voltage provides the page_path method to link to pages. I can use that to determine if I am on that page or not just like I do with the controller.
