How can I specify the order that before_filters are executed?
If you refer http://api.rubyonrails.org/v2.3.8/classes/ActionController/Filters/ClassMethods.html, there is a subheading called "Filter chain ordering", here is the example code from that:
class ShoppingController < ActionController::Base before_filter :verify_open_shopclass CheckoutController < ShoppingController prepend_before_filter :ensure_items_in_cart, :ensure_items_in_stockAccording to the explanation:
The filter chain for the
CheckoutControlleris now:ensure_items_in_cart,:ensure_items_in_stock,:verify_open_shop.
So you can explicitly give the order of the filter chain like that.
Before_filter Order in Railshttp://b2.broom9.com/?p=806
Filter chain orderinghttp://rails.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Filters/ClassMethods.html
If you need guarantee order, you may do this:
before_filter :fn3def fn3 fn1 fn2end
as far as I can tell, you put the first function you want to execute and so forth.
So, something like:
before_filter :fn1, :fn2def fn1 puts 'foo'enddef fn2 puts 'bar'endWould execute fn1, then fn2.
Hope that helps.
