I'm building a tool that generates dynamic xml. As a result my Models have pretty generic names:
Project has_many :Groups
Group has_many :Items has_many :Groups belongs_to :Project
Item has_many :Params belongs_to :Group
Param belongs_to :Project belongs_to :Group belongs_to :Item
So when I build the xml from the project controller, the project node name is the root node of the xml. But I don't want it called "project". I want the node to be whatever the @project.params['name'] value is.
The problem I'm having is that the structure of builder is making this difficult... When I do: xml.project do ~some code end
...It's always going to create "project" as the root node name. I can't find a way to override it to use a different name. I was hoping something like the following would work:
xml.send(@project.params.name) { ...some code }
..but that obviously isn't working. So I'm essentially trying to find a way to alias the element names that are configured in my params model. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
