Erb::View

Simple wrapper around ERB that lets you create class based views.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'erb-view'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install erb-view

Usage

Erb::View lets you create reusable class based views. Start with a configuring the template directory

Erb.root = 'lib/templates'

And then define your class.

class IndexView
  include Erb::View

  # Reads a file named `index.erb` from the `root` specified
  template :index

  # This method is available on the ERB context
  def title
    'Index Page'
  end
end

In the root defined, create a file named index.erb

<h1><%= title %></h1>
<p>Hello <%= name %>!</p>

And use it in your code

view = IndexView.new
view.render(name: 'World')

The result will be

<h1>Index Page</h1>
<p>Hello World!</p>
