Hello,
This should be a very simple rails question. I have a variable like the following.
@administration = Administration.first
I want this variable to be accessible through every controller action across all my controllers so for example if I have a Product controller and inside of it I have the usual CRUD actions, I want the @administration variable as defined above to be put into all the CRUD actions. (It would not be needed in destroy or create or update). I have many controllers throughout my project and I was wondering if there is an easier way than adding it manually through all of the actions that I want it in.
I tried a global variable
$administration = Administration.first
but I run into an issue where it is not updated when I update the actual content of the Administration.first table. Also, I would like to avoid global variables.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)
