# 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 is only mentioned in one place, like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# <!-- The header part of this layout -->
|
|
# <%= @content_for_layout %>
|
|
# <!-- The footer part of this layout -->
|
|
#
|
|
# And then you have content pages that look like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# hello world
|
|
#
|
|
# Not a word about common structures. 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 -->
|
|
#
|
|
# == 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>
|
|
# <%= @content_for_layout %>
|
|
#
|
|
# ...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.rhtml</tt> or <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog.rxml</tt> exists then it will be automatically set as
|
|
# the layout for your WeblogController. You can create a layout with the name <tt>application.rhtml</tt> or <tt>application.rxml</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. Setting a layout explicitly will always override the automatic behaviour.
|
|
#
|
|
# == 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 by looked for in +app/views/layouts/+.
|
|
#
|
|
# == 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.
|
|
# Some times you'll have exceptions, though, where one action wants to use a different layout than the rest of the controller.
|
|
# This is possible using the <tt>render</tt> method. It's just a bit more manual work as you'll have to supply fully
|
|
# qualified template and layout names as this example shows:
|
|
#
|
|
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
|
|
# def help
|
|
# render :action => "help/index", :layout => "help"
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# As you can see, you pass the template as the first parameter, the status code as the second ("200" is OK), and the layout
|
|
# as the third.
|
|
module ClassMethods
|
|
# If a layout is specified, all actions rendered through render and render_action will have their result assigned
|
|
# to <tt>@content_for_layout</tt>, which can then be used by the layout to insert their contents with
|
|
# <tt><%= @content_for_layout %></tt>. This layout can itself depend on instance variables assigned during action
|
|
# performance and have access to them as any normal template would.
