require 'erb' module ActionView #:nodoc: class ActionViewError < StandardError #:nodoc: end # Action View templates can be written in three ways. If the template file has a +.rhtml+ extension then it uses a mixture of ERb # (included in Ruby) and HTML. If the template file has a +.rxml+ extension then Jim Weirich's Builder::XmlMarkup library is used. # If the template file has a +.rjs+ extension then it will use ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator. # # = ERb # # You trigger ERb by using embeddings such as <% %>, <% -%>, and <%= %>. The <%= %> tag set is used when you want output. Consider the # following loop for names: # # Names of all the people # <% for person in @people %> # Name: <%= person.name %>
# <% 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" %> # # If you absolutely must write from within a function, you can use the TextHelper#concat # # <%- 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" %> # # Now the header can pick up on the @page_title variable and use it for outputting a title tag: # # <%= @page_title %> # # == Passing local variables to sub templates # # You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values: # # <%= render "shared/header", { :headline => "Welcome", :person => person } %> # # These can now be accessed in shared/header with: # # Headline: <%= headline %> # First name: <%= person.first_name %> # # 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 defined? headline will not work. This is an implementation restriction. # # == 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 # # 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 +.rxml+ extension. # # Here are some basic examples: # # xml.em("emphasized") # => emphasized # xml.em { xml.b("emp & bold") } # => emph & bold # xml.a("A Link", "href"=>"http://onestepback.org") # => A Link # xml.target("name"=>"compile", "option"=>"fast") # => # # NOTE: order of attributes is not specified. # # 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: # #

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 # and make updates to the page where the request originated from. # # 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. # # When an .rjs action is called with +link_to_remote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated. Example: # # link_to_remote :url => {:action => 'delete'} # # The subsequently rendered +delete.rjs+ might look like: # # page.replace_html 'sidebar', :partial => 'sidebar' # page.remove "person-#{@person.id}" # page.visual_effect :highlight, 'user-list' # # This refreshes the sidebar, removes a person element and highlights the user list. # # See the ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::GeneratorMethods documentation for more details. class Base include ERB::Util attr_reader :first_render attr_accessor :base_path, :assigns, :template_extension attr_accessor :controller attr_reader :logger, :response, :headers attr_internal *ActionController::Base::DEPRECATED_INSTANCE_VARIABLES # Specify trim mode for the ERB compiler.
