Does Kaminari Work with Inherited Resources?

Question

Does anyone know whether the Kaminari gem works with Inherited Resources, because I'm trying to keep my code dry and don't want to repeat myself?

What the plan is, is to render 3 different tables i.e. an Errors table, Messages table and Subscribers table using one partial. However because I'm using Inherited Resources I need all of the code that I'd use in the errors controller, messages controller and subscribers controller, to come through the Admin Application Controller.

I hope this makes sense to anyone reading this

Here's my code:

Admin Application Controller

class Admin::ApplicationController < InheritedResources::Base
protect_from_forgery
include ResourcesHelper
layout "admin"

#Setup
before_filter :set_resource_variable
before_filter :set_pagination_variable, only: :index

#Authentication
skip_before_filter :authenticate_user!
before_filter :authenticate_admin!

#Authorization
skip_before_filter :check_authentication

#Index
#Custom Index For Application/Index (no inheritance) 
def index
    @users = User.all
    @attributes = %w(messages subscribers)
end

#Create
def create
    create! { collection_path }
end

#Update
def update
    update! { collection_path }
end


private
#Set Model Variable
def set_resource_variable
    @resource = self.resource_class
    @model = "#{@resource}".downcase.to_sym
end 

#Strong Params
def permitted_params
    attributes = attributes(@resource) + %w(user_id admin_id) + [image_pages_attributes: [:caption, image_attributes: [:image]]]
    params.permit(@model => attributes)
end
end

Errors Controller

def collection
    @errors ||= end_of_association_chain.page params[:page]
end

Table Partial

<h2><%= model %></h2>
<% unless collection.blank? %>
<table class="sort">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <% model.attribute_names.each do |attr| %>
                <th><%= model.human_attribute_name(attr) %></th>
            <% end %>
            <th colspan="2">&nbsp;</th>
            <% if model.name == "Error" %><th>&nbsp;</th><% end %>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <%= render partial: "admin/resources/table/row", collection: collection, as: :resource, locals: {model: model}  %>
    </tbody>
</table>

Here is the stack trace. This error was thrown due to a current_page error:

undefined method `current_page' for nil:NilClass

Answer 1

I think it does judging from this snippet from https://github.com/josevalim/inherited_resources

class ProjectsController < InheritedResources::Base
  protected
    def collection
      @projects ||= end_of_association_chain.paginate(:page => params[:page])
    end
end

So for Kaminari you might do this:

class ProjectsController < InheritedResources::Base
  protected
    def collection
      @projects ||= end_of_association_chain.page params[:page]
   end
end

Although I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I have tested this and it works perfectly.
