def _render_template(options) #:nodoc:

#process ⇒ Object

Overwrite process to setup I18n proxy.

#render(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Normalize arguments, options and then delegates render_to_body and sticks the result in self.response_body.

#render_to_body(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Raw rendering of a template. :api: plugin

def render_to_body(options = {})
  _process_options(options)
  _render_template(options)
end

#render_to_string(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Raw rendering of a template to a string.

It is similar to render, except that it does not set the response_body and it should be guaranteed to always return a string.

If a component extends the semantics of response_body (as Action Controller extends it to be anything that responds to the method each), this method needs to be overridden in order to still return a string. :api: plugin

#view_assigns ⇒ Object

This method should return a hash with assigns. You can overwrite this configuration per controller. :api: public

  variables -= DEFAULT_PROTECTED_INSTANCE_VARIABLES
  variables.each { |name| hash[name[1..-1]] = instance_variable_get(name) }
  hash
end

#view_context ⇒ Object

An instance of a view class. The default view class is ActionView::Base

The view class must have the following methods: View.new[lookup_context, assigns, controller]

Create a new ActionView instance for a controller

View#render

Returns String with the rendered template

Override this method in a module to change the default behavior.
