- # = Action View Partials
- #
- # There's also a convenience method for rendering sub templates within the current controller that depends on a
- # single object (we call this kind of sub templates for partials). It relies on the fact that partials should
- # follow the naming convention of being prefixed with an underscore -- as to separate them from regular
- # templates that could be rendered on their own.
- #
- # In a template for Advertiser#account:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "account" %>
- #
- # This would render "advertiser/_account.html.erb" and pass the instance variable @account in as a local variable
- # +account+ to the template for display.
- #
- # In another template for Advertiser#buy, we could have:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "account", :locals => { :account => @buyer } %>
- #
- # <% @advertisements.each do |ad| %>
- # <%= render :partial => "ad", :locals => { :ad => ad } %>
- # <% end %>
- #
- # This would first render "advertiser/_account.html.erb" with @buyer passed in as the local variable +account+, then
- # render "advertiser/_ad.html.erb" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display.
- #
- # == The :as and :object options
- #
- # By default <tt>ActionView::Partials::PartialRenderer</tt> has its object in a local variable with the same
- # name as the template. So, given
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "contract" %>
- #
- # within contract we'll get <tt>@contract</tt> in the local variable +contract+, as if we had written
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "contract", :locals => { :contract => @contract } %>
- #
- # With the <tt>:as</tt> option we can specify a different name for said local variable. For example, if we
- # wanted it to be +agreement+ instead of +contract+ we'd do:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "contract", :as => 'agreement' %>
- #
- # The <tt>:object</tt> option can be used to directly specify which object is rendered into the partial;
- # useful when the template's object is elsewhere, in a different ivar or in a local variable for instance.
- #
- # Revisiting a previous example we could have written this code:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "account", :object => @buyer %>
- #
- # <% @advertisements.each do |ad| %>
- # <%= render :partial => "ad", :object => ad %>
- # <% end %>
- #
- # The <tt>:object</tt> and <tt>:as</tt> options can be used together.
- #
- # == Rendering a collection of partials
- #
- # The example of partial use describes a familiar pattern where a template needs to iterate over an array and
- # render a sub template for each of the elements. This pattern has been implemented as a single method that
- # accepts an array and renders a partial by the same name as the elements contained within. So the three-lined
- # example in "Using partials" can be rewritten with a single line:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "ad", :collection => @advertisements %>
- #
- # This will render "advertiser/_ad.html.erb" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display. An
- # iteration counter will automatically be made available to the template with a name of the form
- # +partial_name_counter+. In the case of the example above, the template would be fed +ad_counter+.
- #
- # The <tt>:as</tt> option may be used when rendering partials.
- #
- # You can specify a partial to be rendered between elements via the <tt>:spacer_template</tt> option.
- # The following example will render <tt>advertiser/_ad_divider.html.erb</tt> between each ad partial:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "ad", :collection => @advertisements, :spacer_template => "ad_divider" %>
- #
- # If the given <tt>:collection</tt> is nil or empty, <tt>render</tt> will return nil. This will allow you
- # to specify a text which will displayed instead by using this form:
- #
- # <%= render(:partial => "ad", :collection => @advertisements) || "There's no ad to be displayed" %>
- #
- # NOTE: Due to backwards compatibility concerns, the collection can't be one of hashes. Normally you'd also
- # just keep domain objects, like Active Records, in there.
- #
- # == Rendering shared partials
- #
- # Two controllers can share a set of partials and render them like this:
- #
- # <%= render :partial => "advertisement/ad", :locals => { :ad => @advertisement } %>
- #
- # This will render the partial "advertisement/_ad.html.erb" regardless of which controller this is being called from.
- #
- # == Rendering objects with the RecordIdentifier
- #
- # Instead of explicitly naming the location of a partial, you can also let the RecordIdentifier do the work if
- # you're following its conventions for RecordIdentifier#partial_path. Examples:
- #
- # # @account is an Account instance, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
- # # <%= render :partial => "accounts/account", :locals => { :account => @account} %>
- # <%= render :partial => @account %>
- #
- # # @posts is an array of Post instances, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
- # # <%= render :partial => "posts/post", :collection => @posts %>
- # <%= render :partial => @posts %>
- #
- # == Rendering the default case
- #
- # If you're not going to be using any of the options like collections or layouts, you can also use the short-hand
- # defaults of render to render partials. Examples:
- #
- # # Instead of <%= render :partial => "account" %>
- # <%= render "account" %>
- #
- # # Instead of <%= render :partial => "account", :locals => { :account => @buyer } %>
- # <%= render "account", :account => @buyer %>
- #
- # # @account is an Account instance, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
- # # <%= render :partial => "accounts/account", :locals => { :account => @account } %>
- # <%= render(@account) %>
- #
- # # @posts is an array of Post instances, so it uses the RecordIdentifier to replace
- # # <%= render :partial => "posts/post", :collection => @posts %>
- # <%= render(@posts) %>
- #
- # == Rendering partials with layouts
- #
- # Partials can have their own layouts applied to them. These layouts are different than the ones that are
- # specified globally for the entire action, but they work in a similar fashion. Imagine a list with two types
- # of users:
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/index.html.erb &>
- # Here's the administrator:
- # <%= render :partial => "user", :layout => "administrator", :locals => { :user => administrator } %>
- #
- # Here's the editor:
- # <%= render :partial => "user", :layout => "editor", :locals => { :user => editor } %>
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/_user.html.erb &>
- # Name: <%= user.name %>
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/_administrator.html.erb &>
- # <div id="administrator">
- # Budget: $<%= user.budget %>
- # <%= yield %>
- # </div>
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/_editor.html.erb &>
- # <div id="editor">
- # Deadline: <%= user.deadline %>
- # <%= yield %>
- # </div>
- #
- # ...this will return:
- #
- # Here's the administrator:
- # <div id="administrator">
- # Budget: $<%= user.budget %>
- # Name: <%= user.name %>
- # </div>
- #
- # Here's the editor:
- # <div id="editor">
- # Deadline: <%= user.deadline %>
- # Name: <%= user.name %>
- # </div>
- #
- # You can also apply a layout to a block within any template:
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/_chief.html.erb &>
- # <%= render(:layout => "administrator", :locals => { :user => chief }) do %>
- # Title: <%= chief.title %>
- # <% end %>
- #
- # ...this will return:
- #
- # <div id="administrator">
- # Budget: $<%= user.budget %>
- # Title: <%= chief.name %>
- # </div>
- #
- # As you can see, the <tt>:locals</tt> hash is shared between both the partial and its layout.
- #
- # If you pass arguments to "yield" then this will be passed to the block. One way to use this is to pass
- # an array to layout and treat it as an enumerable.
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/_user.html.erb &>
- # <div class="user">
- # Budget: $<%= user.budget %>
- # <%= yield user %>
- # </div>
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/index.html.erb &>
- # <%= render :layout => @users do |user| %>
- # Title: <%= user.title %>
- # <% end %>
- #
- # This will render the layout for each user and yield to the block, passing the user, each time.
- #
- # You can also yield multiple times in one layout and use block arguments to differentiate the sections.
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/_user.html.erb &>
- # <div class="user">
- # <%= yield user, :header %>
- # Budget: $<%= user.budget %>
- # <%= yield user, :footer %>
- # </div>
- #
- # <%# app/views/users/index.html.erb &>
- # <%= render :layout => @users do |user, section| %>
- # <%- case section when :header -%>
- # Title: <%= user.title %>
- # <%- when :footer -%>
- # Deadline: <%= user.deadline %>
- # <%- end -%>
- # <% end %>
