Overview

This class is abstract.

Subclass this and provide your own configuration and exposures to define your own view (along with a custom ‘#initialize` if you wish to inject dependencies into your subclass)

A standalone, template-based view rendering system that offers everything you need to write well-factored view code.

This represents a single view, holding the configuration and exposures necessary for rendering its template.

Constructor Details

#initialize ⇒ View

Returns an instance of the view. This binds the defined exposures to the view instance.

Subclasses can define their own ‘#initialize` to accept injected dependencies, but must call `super()` to ensure the standard view initialization can proceed.

Class Method Details

.config.default_context=(context) ⇒ Object

Set the default context object to use when rendering. This will be used unless another context object is applied at render-time to ‘View#call`

Defaults to a frozen instance of ‘Dry::View::Context`.

Parameters:

# File 'lib/dry/view.rb', line 121

setting :default_context, Context.new.freeze

.config.default_format=(format) ⇒ Object

Set the default format to use when rendering.

Defaults to ‘:html`.

Parameters:

  • format (Symbol)

# File 'lib/dry/view.rb', line 131

setting :default_format, :html

.expose(name, **options, &block) ⇒ Object .expose(name, **options) ⇒ Object .expose(name, **options) ⇒ Object .expose(*names, **options) ⇒ Object

Overloads:

  • .expose(name, **options, &block) ⇒ Object

    Define a value to be passed to the template. The return value of the block will be decorated by a matching Part and passed to the template.

    The block will be evaluated with the view instance as its ‘self`. The block’s parameters will determine what it is given:

    • To receive other exposure values, provide positional parameters matching the exposure names. These exposures will already by decorated by their Parts.

    • To receive the view’s input arguments (whatever is passed to ‘View#call`), provide matching keyword parameters. You can provide default values for these parameters to make the corresponding input keys optional

    • To receive the Context object, provide a ‘context:` keyword parameter

    • To receive the view’s input arguments in their entirety, provide a keywords splat parameter (i.e. ‘**input`)

    Examples:

    Accessing input arguments

    expose :article do |slug:|
  article_repo.find_by_slug(slug)
end

    Accessing other exposures

    expose :articles do
  article_repo.listing
end

expose :featured_articles do |articles|
  articles.select(&:featured?)
end

    Parameters:

    • name (Symbol) —

      name for the exposure

    • options (Hash) —

      the exposure’s options

    Options Hash (**options):

    • :layout (Boolean) —

      expose this value to the layout (defaults to false)

    • :decorate (Boolean) —

      decorate this value in a matching Part (defaults to true)

    • :as (Symbol, Class) —

      an alternative name or class to use when finding a matching Part

  • .expose(name, **options) ⇒ Object

    Define a value to be passed to the template, provided by an instance method matching the name. The method’s return value will be decorated by a matching Part and passed to the template.

    The method’s parameters will determine what it is given:

    • To receive other exposure values, provide positional parameters matching the exposure names. These exposures will already by decorated by their Parts.

    • To receive the view’s input arguments (whatever is passed to ‘View#call`), provide matching keyword parameters. You can provide default values for these parameters to make the corresponding input keys optional

    • To receive the Context object, provide a ‘context:` keyword parameter

    • To receive the view’s input arguments in their entirey, provide a keywords splat parameter (i.e. ‘**input`)

    Examples:

    Accessing input arguments

    expose :article

def article(slug:)
  article_repo.find_by_slug(slug)
end

    Accessing other exposures

    expose :articles
expose :featured_articles

def articles
  article_repo.listing
end

def featured_articles
  articles.select(&:featured?)
end

      the exposure’s options
