Best way to conditionally format fields in different views

[0xifis]

I'm using Avo in my Rails project and I have a requirement where I want to conditionally format fields based on the view they are in. Specifically, I want to use format_using to apply formatting only in the index and show views, and not in the edit or new views.

I came up with a solution using conditional logic within format_using to check the view variable:

field :volume, as: :number do |volume, view|
  format_using do
    if [:index, :show].include?(view)
      number_with_delimiter(volume, delimiter: ' ')
    else
      volume
    end
  end
end

Is this the best way to achieve this or does Avo have a more idiomatic way to conditionally format fields based on the view?

Thank you!

Hey @vishthemenon
Apologies for the looong delay.

Yes, that's the correct way to do it.
The only Avo 3 addition is that view is a smart object and you can do if view.display?.
