module Camping::Views

Views is an empty module for storing methods which create HTML. The HTML is described using the Markaby language.

Defining and calling templates¶ ↑

Templates are simply Ruby methods with Markaby inside:

module Blog::Views
  def index
    p "Welcome to my blog"
  end

  def show
    h1 @post.title
    self << @post.content
  end
end

In your controllers you just call render :template_name which will invoke the template. The views and controllers will share instance variables (as you can see above).

Using the layout method¶ ↑

If your Views module has a layout method defined, it will be called with a block which will insert content from your view:

module Blog::Views
  def layout
    html do
      head { title "My Blog "}
      body { self << yield }
    end
  end
end
