Class: Mack::Rendering::Type::Action

Inherits:
FileBase show all
Defined in:
lib/mack/rendering/type/action.rb

Overview

Used to render a template that's relative to a controller.

Example:

class UsersController
include Mack::Controller
# /users/:id
def show
  @user = User.first(params[:id])
end
# /users
def index
  @users = User.all
  render(:action, :list)
end
end

When some calls /users/1 the file: app/views/users/show.html.erb will be rendered. When some calls /users the file: app/views/users/list.html.erb will be rendered.
