I am trying to play with Rails naming conventions as in here and render two different pages with different variables using one partial.
index
<%= render @events_future %>
current
<%= render @events_current %>
event controller
def index
@events_future = ...
end
_event.html.erb
<% @events.each do |event| %>
...
<% end %>
I get the undefined "each" method Please point me in the right direction
I think the best thing to do here is to pass a locals to the partial _event.html.erb because the partial needs to display different objects like follows:
index
<%= render 'event', events: @events_future %>
current
<%= render 'event', events: @events_current %>
In the above two render statements, the events gets passed to the event partial as a local.
Then in your _event.html.erb you would do:
<% events.each do |event| %>
...
<% end %>
Do you have @events initialized in your controller?
I see that you have @events_future and @events_current, but if @events is not defined in the controller, your view wouldn't know what you are referring to.
If you want to reuse events for both future and current, use the following in each view
<!-- index.html.erb -->
<%= render 'event', events: @events_future %>
<!-- current.html.erb -->
<%= render 'event', events: @events_current %>
This renders the _event.html.erb partial and sets the events local variable. In _event.html.erb, use
<% events.each do |event| %>
<!-- do stuff -->
<% end %>
You have to pass the variable to the partial when you render it:
render :partial => 'event', :locals => {:events => @events_current} %>
render :partial => 'event', :locals => {:events => @events_future} %>
And then in your partial you do:
<% events.each do |event| %>
...
<% end %>
