ID and CONTEXT

The simple-navigation-acl have id and context to create rules for you:

Example for roles:

config/navigation.rb

SimpleNavigation::Configuration.run do |navigation|
  navigation.items do |primary|
    primary.item :menu1, "Menu 1", root_path do |sub_nav|
      sub_nav.item :sub_menu1, 'Sub Menu1', root_path
    end
  end
end

config/admin_navigation.rb

SimpleNavigation::Configuration.run do |navigation|
  navigation.items do |primary|
    primary.item :adm_menu1, "Admin Menu 1", root_path do |sub_nav|
      sub_nav.item :adm_sub_menu1, 'Admin Sub Menu1', root_path
    end
  end
end

table acl_rules

id	context	key
admin	default	:menu1
admin	default	:sub_menu1
admin	admin	:adm_menu1
admin	admin	:adm_sub_menu1
user	default	:menu1
...

Routes

Edit Acl Rules

You can bind acl rule on resource, doesn't matter what resource it is. Only pass id to the route and it will be binded.

@resource = User.first
# or
@resource = Role.last
# or
@resource = Wherever.find_by(id: 1)

= link_to 'Edit', simple_navigation_acl_edit_path(@resource)
= link_to 'Show', simple_navigation_acl_show_path(@resource)

Or a String like @role = 'admin' then:

= link_to 'Edit', simple_navigation_acl_edit_path(id: @role)

And to save via HTTP PATCH, PUT or POST, like:

= form_tag simple_navigation_acl_save_path(@resource), method: :put
    

Editing default views

On install is created two views: edit and show

In views/simple_navigation_acl/show.html.erb:

<% SimpleNavigationAcl::Base.contexts.each do |context| %>
    <%= render 'simple_navigation_acl/list', context: context, readonly: true %>
<% end %>

You can List all navigations contexts with SimpleNavigationAcl::Base.contexts and can render only permissions list with: render 'simple_navigation_acl/list', context: context By default context=:default and readonly=false (readonly define if permissiosn list is editable or not)
