Entry Rendering#

All visible activity in Sure is stored as Entry records that delegate to one of three concrete entryable types via Rails delegated_type 1:

delegated_type :entryable, types: Entryable::TYPES, dependent: :destroy

The canonical type list is ["Valuation", "Transaction", "Trade"], defined in the Entryable concern.

Dispatch Layer: _entry.html.erb#

app/views/entries/_entry.html.erb is the single dispatch point for every rendered entry. It calls entry.entryable.to_partial_path — provided by Rails' delegated_type — to resolve the correct type-specific partial, then forwards a fixed set of locals 2:

Because to_partial_path is resolved on the entryable object, adding a new Entryable type automatically routes to its own partial without any changes to this dispatcher.

Type-Specific Partials#

Each entryable type owns its own partial and declares the same locals signature:

• transactions/_transaction.html.erb 3 — Renders the full transaction row: category icon / merchant logo, name link, tags, status pills (pending, duplicate, split), amount. Accepts all four locals.
• trades/_trade.html.erb 4 — Renders a trade row. Accepts entry, balance_trend, and a ** splat for forwards-compatibility; does not act on view_ctx.
• valuations/_valuation.html.erb 5 — Renders a valuation/balance anchor row. Accepts entry plus a ** splat.

view_ctx — Controlling Display Per Context#

view_ctx has two documented values:

• "global" (default) — Used in the main transaction list (e.g., transactions/_list.html.erb) where entries from multiple accounts appear together. Transfers display as +/- <amount> because the sign is ambiguous without account context 6.
• "account" — Explicitly passed in the per-account activity feed (accounts/show/_activity.html.erb) and the UI::Account::ActivityDate component. Transfers render with a negated amount because the account perspective is unambiguous.

The view_ctx value flows from the caller → _entry.html.erb → type-specific partial without being altered.

in_split_group — Split Transaction Rendering#

Split parent entries are rendered via entries/_split_group.html.erb, which renders the parent row first then iterates over child entries, passing in_split_group: true 7. This local:

• Adds left-padding (pl-8 lg:pl-12) to visually indent child rows 8.
• Changes the entry's name link to entry_path(entry, grouped: true) 9.
• Suppresses the split-child indicator icon when the child is already visually nested 10.

_split_group.html.erb accepts a view_ctx local (defaulting to "global") and forwards it to child entries, allowing split children to inherit the correct view context from their parent rendering location (e.g., account activity feed vs. transactions list) 11.
