In the future, we can also support streaming # from the template and not only the layout. # # Also, notice we use +provide+ instead of +content_for+, as +provide+ # gives the control back to the layout as soon as it is called. # With +content_for+, it would render all the template to find all # +content_for+ calls. For instance, consider this layout: # # <%= yield :header %> # # With this template: # # <%= content_for :header, "1" %> # <%= provide :header, "2" %> # <%= provide :header, "3" %> # # It will return "12\n" because +content_for+ continues rendering the # template but it is returns back to the layout as soon as it sees the # first +provide+. # # == TODO # # * Support streaming from child templates, partials and so on. # * Integrate exceptions with exceptron class StreamingTemplateRenderer < TemplateRenderer #:nodoc: # A valid Rack::Body (i.e. it responds to each). # It is initialized with a block that, when called, starts # rendering the template. class Body #:nodoc: def initialize(&start) @start = start end def each(&block) begin @start.call(block) rescue block.call ActionView::Base.streaming_completion_on_exception end self end end # For streaming, instead of rendering a given a template, we return a Body # object that responds to each.
