Is there a way to figure out what the current controller is from within the view?
For an example of why I would want to know this: if several controllers share the same layout, I may have a part in the layout ERB file where I want to highlight the current page's menu item based on the controller.
Maybe that is a bad approach. If so, what is the more preferred way to do this?
I'm interested to know about getting the name of the current controller either way, though.
(Obviously I could put something like @controller_name = 'users'
in each controller; but that seems like the sort of thing Rails would've already done behind the scenes. So I'm just wondering if there's a built-in way.)
