better_partials
Provides syntactic sugar for render :partial.
Examples
Render a partial
<%= partial "people/search_box" %>
Pass some parameters in
<% form_for @person do |f| %>
<%= partial "people/form", :f => f %>
<% end %>
Pass in a collection
<%= partial "people/person", :collection => @people %>
Or the terse way…
<%= partials @people %>
Also works, but not as nice reading…
<%= partial @people %>
Rendering a block
<% partial "people/box" do %>
Inner content goes here.. (gets called in your partial's yield statement)
<% end %>
Special Options
These special options pass through to render :partial. All others are passed through as :locals.
:collection
:spacer_template
:object
:use_full_path
