readme: mention to_param / GlobalID::Locator.locate as a feature
nruth opened this issue · comments
It'd be nice for the readme to say a bit about to_param and GlobalID::Locator.locate working together, as it enables this:
view: link_to x, somepath(content_gid: content.to_global_id)
controller: content = GlobalID::Locator.locate params.fetch(:content_gid)
It looks like some thought has gone into this, but it's not currently advertised as a feature.
Would a readme PR be welcome for this or is it an internals thing we shouldn't be relying on?
Global ID is very much about having a serialized reference to a model from somewhere else.
My only concern is that we should advertise using a signed global id, so malicious people can't tamper with the gid. Try a PR!
