Goatee

What?

Inspired by mustache. Goatee wraps ERB to provide a framework-agnostic method of rendering views.

Config

require "goatee"

Goatee.configure do |c|
  c.templates_directory = "/path/to/templates"
end

Basic Usage

Create a View

require "goatee"

module View
  class Login < Goatee::View
    def initialize(name)
      @name = name
    end

    def render(name)
      super "login"
    end

    def name
      @name.capitalize
    end
  end
end

Create a Template

<h1>Login Page</h1>
<p>
  Hello <%= name %>
</p>

Render it

require "view/login"

View::Login.new("batman").render

Partials

Include a partial by using the include keyword in an ERB template

<%= include "header" %>

<h1>Login Page</h1>
<p>
  Hello <%= name %>
</p>

This will render the partial located at

<templates_directory>/includes/<partial_id>.erb
