Module: Alchemy::EssencesHelper

Included in:
Admin::EssencesHelper, ElementsHelper
Defined in:
app/helpers/alchemy/essences_helper.rb

Overview

This helper contains methods to render the essence from an Element Content.

Essences have two kinds of partials. An editor and a view partial.

They both resist in ‘app/views/alchemy/essences’

The partials are suffixed with the type of part.

Example:

For an EssenceText

The view partial is:

_essence_text_view.html.erb

The editor partial is:

_essence_text_editor.html.erb

Usage:

For front end web development you should mostly use the render_essence_view_by_name helper.

And the render_essence_editor_by_name helper for Alchemy backend views.
