The preferred notation now is to use <tt>yield</tt>, as documented above. + # + # == Accessing shared variables + # + # Layouts have access to variables specified in the content pages and vice versa. This allows you to have layouts with + # references that won't materialize before rendering time: + # + # <h1><%= @page_title %></h1> + # <%= yield %> + # + # ...and content pages that fulfill these references _at_ rendering time: + # + # <% @page_title = "Welcome" %> + # Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life + # + # The result after rendering is: + # + # <h1>Welcome</h1> + # Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life + # + # == Automatic layout assignment + # + # If there is a template in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt> with the same name as the current controller then it will be automatically + # set as that controller's layout unless explicitly told otherwise. Say you have a WeblogController, for example. If a template named + # <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.erb</tt> or <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.builder</tt> exists then it will be automatically set as + # the layout for your WeblogController. You can create a layout with the name <tt>application.erb</tt> or <tt>application.builder</tt> + # and this will be set as the default controller if there is no layout with the same name as the current controller and there is + # no layout explicitly assigned with the +layout+ method. Nested controllers use the same folder structure for automatic layout. + # assignment. So an Admin::WeblogController will look for a template named <tt>app/views/layouts/admin/weblog.erb</tt>. + # Setting a layout explicitly will always override the automatic behaviour for the controller where the layout is set. + # Explicitly setting the layout in a parent class, though, will not override the child class's layout assignment if the child + # class has a layout with the same name. + # + # == Inheritance for layouts + # + # Layouts are shared downwards in the inheritance hierarchy, but not upwards. Examples: + # + # class BankController < ActionController::Base + # layout "bank_standard" + # + # class InformationController < BankController + # + # class VaultController < BankController + # layout :access_level_layout + # + # class EmployeeController < BankController + # layout nil + # + # The InformationController uses "bank_standard" inherited from the BankController, the VaultController overwrites + # and picks the layout dynamically, and the EmployeeController doesn't want to use a layout at all. + # + # == Types of layouts + # + # Layouts are basically just regular templates, but the name of this template needs not be specified statically. Sometimes + # you want to alternate layouts depending on runtime information, such as whether someone is logged in or not. This can + # be done either by specifying a method reference as a symbol or using an inline method (as a proc). + # + # The method reference is the preferred approach to variable layouts and is used like this: + # + # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base + # layout :writers_and_readers + # + # def index + # # fetching posts + # end + # + # private + # def writers_and_readers + # logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" + # end + # + # Now when a new request for the index action is processed, the layout will vary depending on whether the person accessing + # is logged in or not. + # + # If you want to use an inline method, such as a proc, do something like this: + # + # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base + # layout proc{ |controller| controller.logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" } + # + # Of course, the most common way of specifying a layout is still just as a plain template name: + # + # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base + # layout "weblog_standard" + # + # If no directory is specified for the template name, the template will by default be looked for in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt>. + # Otherwise, it will be looked up relative to the template root. + # + # == Conditional layouts + # + # If you have a layout that by default is applied to all the actions of a controller, you still have the option of rendering + # a given action or set of actions without a layout, or restricting a layout to only a single action or a set of actions. The + # <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be passed to the layout call. For example: + # + # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base + # layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss + # + # # ... + # + # end + # + # This will assign "weblog_standard" as the WeblogController's layout except for the +rss+ action, which will not wrap a layout + # around the rendered view. + # + # Both the <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> condition can accept an arbitrary number of method references, so + # #<tt>:except => [ :rss, :text_only ]</tt> is valid, as is <tt>:except => :rss</tt>. + # + # == Using a different layout in the action render call + # + # If most of your actions use the same layout, it makes perfect sense to define a controller-wide layout as described above. + # Sometimes you'll have exceptions where one action wants to use a different layout than the rest of the controller. + # You can do this by passing a <tt>:layout</tt> option to the <tt>render</tt> call. For example: + # + # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base + # layout "weblog_standard" + # + # def help + # render :action => "help", :layout => "help" + # end + # end + # + # This will render the help action with the "help" layout instead of the controller-wide "weblog_standard" layout. + module ClassMethods + extend ActiveSupport::Memoizable + + # If a layout is specified, all rendered actions will have their result rendered + # when the layout <tt>yield</tt>s.
