module ActionView
  # 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.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 } %>
  #
  #   <% for ad in @advertisements %>
  #     <%= render :partial => "ad", :locals => { :ad => ad } %>
  #   <% end %>
  #
  # This would first render "advertiser/_account.erb" with @buyer passed in as the local variable +account+, then render 
  # "advertiser/_ad.erb" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display.
  #
  # == 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.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+.
  #
  # 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.erb" regardless of which controller this is being called from.
