Rails 4 - Pundit - create policy

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to use pundit in my Rails 4 app.

I have a profile view in which I want to display a link to create a new project, subject to pundit authori

Usually I will use another class, say ViewPolicy, for the purpose in view:

class ViewPolicy < Struct.new(:user, :views)

    def items_index?
        user.has_role?(:sales)
    end

end

So I can do something like this:

<% if policy(:views).items_index? %>
  <%= link_to("Items", items_path) %>
<% end %>
