    "call_#{variant}"
  else
    "call"
  end
end

.compile(validate: false) ⇒ Object

Compile templates to instance methods, assuming they haven’t been compiled already. We could in theory do this on app boot, at least in production environments. Right now this just compiles the first time the component is rendered.

#render_in(view_context, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Entrypoint for rendering components. Called by ActionView::Base#render.

view_context: ActionView context from calling view args(hash): params to be passed to component being rendered block: optional block to be captured within the view context

returns HTML that has been escaped by the respective template handler

Example subclass:

app/components/my_component.rb: class MyComponent < ActionView::Component::Base

def initialize(title:)
  @title = title
end

end

app/components/my_component.html.erb <span title=“<%= @title %>”>Hello, <%= content %>!</span>

In use: <%= render MyComponent, title: “greeting” do %>world<% end %> returns: <span title=“greeting”>Hello, world!</span>
