- # Layouts reverse the common pattern of including shared headers and footers in many templates to isolate changes in
- # repeated setups. The inclusion pattern has pages that look like this:
- #
- # <%= render "shared/header" %>
- # Hello World
- # <%= render "shared/footer" %>
- #
- # This approach is a decent way of keeping common structures isolated from the changing content, but it's verbose
- # and if you ever want to change the structure of these two includes, you'll have to change all the templates.
- #
- # With layouts, you can flip it around and have the common structure know where to insert changing content. This means
- # that the header and footer are only mentioned in one place, like this:
- #
- # // The header part of this layout
- # <%= yield %>
- # // The footer part of this layout
- #
- # And then you have content pages that look like this:
- #
- # hello world
- #
- # At rendering time, the content page is computed and then inserted in the layout, like this:
- #
- # // The header part of this layout
- # hello world
- # // The footer part of this layout
- #
- # NOTE: The old notation for rendering the view from a layout was to expose the magic <tt>@content_for_layout</tt> instance
- # variable. The preferred notation now is to use <tt>yield</tt>, as documented above.
- #
- # == Accessing shared variables
- #
- # Layouts have access to variables specified in the content pages and vice versa. This allows you to have layouts with
- # references that won't materialize before rendering time:
- #
- # <h1><%= @page_title %></h1>
- # <%= yield %>
- #
- # ...and content pages that fulfill these references _at_ rendering time:
- #
- # <% @page_title = "Welcome" %>
- # Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
- #
- # The result after rendering is:
- #
- # <h1>Welcome</h1>
- # Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
- #
- # == Automatic layout assignment
- #
- # If there is a template in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt> with the same name as the current controller then it will be automatically
- # set as that controller's layout unless explicitly told otherwise. Say you have a WeblogController, for example. If a template named
- # <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.erb</tt> or <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.builder</tt> exists then it will be automatically set as
- # the layout for your WeblogController. You can create a layout with the name <tt>application.erb</tt> or <tt>application.builder</tt>
- # and this will be set as the default controller if there is no layout with the same name as the current controller and there is
- # no layout explicitly assigned with the +layout+ method. Nested controllers use the same folder structure for automatic layout.
- # assignment. So an Admin::WeblogController will look for a template named <tt>app/views/layouts/admin/weblog.erb</tt>.
- # Setting a layout explicitly will always override the automatic behaviour for the controller where the layout is set.
- # Explicitly setting the layout in a parent class, though, will not override the child class's layout assignment if the child
- # class has a layout with the same name.
- #
- # == Inheritance for layouts
- #
- # Layouts are shared downwards in the inheritance hierarchy, but not upwards. Examples:
- #
- # class BankController < ActionController::Base
- # layout "bank_standard"
- #
- # class InformationController < BankController
- #
- # class VaultController < BankController
- # layout :access_level_layout
- #
- # class EmployeeController < BankController
- # layout nil
- #
- # The InformationController uses "bank_standard" inherited from the BankController, the VaultController overwrites
- # and picks the layout dynamically, and the EmployeeController doesn't want to use a layout at all.
- #
- # == Types of layouts
- #
- # Layouts are basically just regular templates, but the name of this template needs not be specified statically. Sometimes
- # you want to alternate layouts depending on runtime information, such as whether someone is logged in or not. This can
- # be done either by specifying a method reference as a symbol or using an inline method (as a proc).
- #
- # The method reference is the preferred approach to variable layouts and is used like this:
- #
- # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
- # layout :writers_and_readers
- #
- # def index
- # # fetching posts
- # end
- #
- # private
- # def writers_and_readers
- # logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout"
- # end
- #
- # Now when a new request for the index action is processed, the layout will vary depending on whether the person accessing
- # is logged in or not.
- #
- # If you want to use an inline method, such as a proc, do something like this:
- #
- # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
- # layout proc{ |controller| controller.logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" }
- #
- # Of course, the most common way of specifying a layout is still just as a plain template name:
- #
- # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
- # layout "weblog_standard"
- #
- # If no directory is specified for the template name, the template will by default be looked for in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt>.
- # Otherwise, it will be looked up relative to the template root.
- #
- # == Conditional layouts
- #
- # If you have a layout that by default is applied to all the actions of a controller, you still have the option of rendering
- # a given action or set of actions without a layout, or restricting a layout to only a single action or a set of actions. The
- # <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be passed to the layout call. For example:
- #
- # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
- # layout "weblog_standard", :except => :rss
- #
- # # ...
- #
- # end
- #
- # This will assign "weblog_standard" as the WeblogController's layout except for the +rss+ action, which will not wrap a layout
- # around the rendered view.
- #
- # Both the <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> condition can accept an arbitrary number of method references, so
- # #<tt>:except => [ :rss, :text_only ]</tt> is valid, as is <tt>:except => :rss</tt>.
- #
- # == Using a different layout in the action render call
- #
- # If most of your actions use the same layout, it makes perfect sense to define a controller-wide layout as described above.
- # Sometimes you'll have exceptions where one action wants to use a different layout than the rest of the controller.
- # You can do this by passing a <tt>:layout</tt> option to the <tt>render</tt> call. For example:
- #
- # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
- # layout "weblog_standard"
- #
- # def help
- # render :action => "help", :layout => "help"
- # end
- # end
- #
- # This will render the help action with the "help" layout instead of the controller-wide "weblog_standard" layout.
- module ClassMethods
- # If a layout is specified, all rendered actions will have their result rendered
- # when the layout <tt>yield</tt>s. This layout can itself depend on instance variables assigned during action
- # performance and have access to them as any normal template would.
