# Action View templates can be written in three ways. If the template file has a <tt>.erb</tt> (or <tt>.rhtml</tt>) extension then it uses a mixture of ERb
# (included in Ruby) and HTML. If the template file has a <tt>.builder</tt> (or <tt>.rxml</tt>) extension then Jim Weirich's Builder::XmlMarkup library is used.
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# If the template file has a <tt>.rjs</tt> extension then it will use ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator.
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# = ERb
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
# You trigger ERb by using embeddings such as <% %>, <% -%>, and <%= %>. The <%= %> tag set is used when you want output. Consider the
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# following loop for names:
#
# <b>Names of all the people</b>
# <% for person in @people %>
# Name: <%= person.name %><br/>
# <% end %>
#
# The loop is setup in regular embedding tags <% %> and the name is written using the output embedding tag <%= %>. Note that this
# is not just a usage suggestion. Regular output functions like print or puts won't work with ERb templates. So this would be wrong:
#
# Hi, Mr. <% puts "Frodo" %>
#
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# If you absolutely must write from within a function, you can use the TextHelper#concat.
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# <%- and -%> suppress leading and trailing whitespace, including the trailing newline, and can be used interchangeably with <% and %>.
#
# == Using sub templates
#
# Using sub templates allows you to sidestep tedious replication and extract common display structures in shared templates. The
# classic example is the use of a header and footer (even though the Action Pack-way would be to use Layouts):
#
# <%= render "shared/header" %>
# Something really specific and terrific
# <%= render "shared/footer" %>
#
# As you see, we use the output embeddings for the render methods. The render call itself will just return a string holding the
# result of the rendering. The output embedding writes it to the current template.
#
# But you don't have to restrict yourself to static includes. Templates can share variables amongst themselves by using instance
# variables defined using the regular embedding tags. Like this:
#
# <% @page_title = "A Wonderful Hello" %>
# <%= render "shared/header" %>
#
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# Now the header can pick up on the <tt>@page_title</tt> variable and use it for outputting a title tag:
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# <title><%= @page_title %></title>
#
# == Passing local variables to sub templates
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:
#
2007-02-09 09:04:31 +01:00
# <%= render "shared/header", { :headline => "Welcome", :person => person } %>
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# These can now be accessed in <tt>shared/header</tt> with:
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# Headline: <%= headline %>
# First name: <%= person.first_name %>
#
2007-02-09 09:04:31 +01:00
# If you need to find out whether a certain local variable has been assigned a value in a particular render call,
# you need to use the following pattern:
#
# <% if local_assigns.has_key? :headline %>
# Headline: <%= headline %>
# <% end %>
#
# Testing using <tt>defined? headline</tt> will not work. This is an implementation restriction.
#
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# == Template caching
#
# By default, Rails will compile each template to a method in order to render it. When you alter a template, Rails will
# check the file's modification time and recompile it.
#
# == Builder
#
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
# Builder templates are a more programmatic alternative to ERb. They are especially useful for generating XML content. An XmlMarkup object
# named +xml+ is automatically made available to templates with a <tt>.builder</tt> extension.
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# Here are some basic examples:
#
# xml.em("emphasized") # => <em>emphasized</em>
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# xml.em { xml.b("emph & bold") } # => <em><b>emph & bold</b></em>
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# xml.a("A Link", "href"=>"http://onestepback.org") # => <a href="http://onestepback.org">A Link</a>
# xml.target("name"=>"compile", "option"=>"fast") # => <target option="fast" name="compile"\>
# # NOTE: order of attributes is not specified.
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# Any method with a block will be treated as an XML markup tag with nested markup in the block. For example, the following:
#
# xml.div {
# xml.h1(@person.name)
# xml.p(@person.bio)
# }
#
# would produce something like:
#
# <div>
# <h1>David Heinemeier Hansson</h1>
# <p>A product of Danish Design during the Winter of '79...</p>
# </div>
#
# A full-length RSS example actually used on Basecamp:
#
# xml.rss("version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/") do
# xml.channel do
# xml.title(@feed_title)
# xml.link(@url)
# xml.description "Basecamp: Recent items"
# xml.language "en-us"
# xml.ttl "40"
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# for item in @recent_items
# xml.item do
# xml.title(item_title(item))
# xml.description(item_description(item)) if item_description(item)
# xml.pubDate(item_pubDate(item))
# xml.guid(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
# xml.link(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# xml.tag!("dc:creator", item.author_name) if item_has_creator?(item)
# end
# end
# end
# end

#
# == JavaScriptGenerator
#
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
# JavaScriptGenerator templates end in <tt>.rjs</tt>. Unlike conventional templates which are used to
# render the results of an action, these templates generate instructions on how to modify an already rendered page. This makes it easy to
# modify multiple elements on your page in one declarative Ajax response. Actions with these templates are called in the background with Ajax
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
# and make updates to the page where the request originated from.
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
# An instance of the JavaScriptGenerator object named +page+ is automatically made available to your template, which is implicitly wrapped in an ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper#update_page block.
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# When an <tt>.rjs</tt> action is called with +link_to_remote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated. Example:
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# link_to_remote :url => {:action => 'delete'}
#
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
# The subsequently rendered <tt>delete.rjs</tt> might look like:
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# page.replace_html 'sidebar', :partial => 'sidebar'
# page.remove "person-#{@person.id}"
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
# page.visual_effect :highlight, 'user-list'
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
#
# This refreshes the sidebar, removes a person element and highlights the user list.
2008-10-27 07:47:01 +01:00
#
2007-10-15 19:16:54 +02:00
