Overview

Card::View manages view options, view caching, and view permissions.

View objects, which are instantiated whenever a view is rendered, are available as in views and other format methods. The view objects can be accessed using #voo. We sometimes feebly pretend VOO is an acronym for "view option object," but really we just needed a way not to confuse these Card::View options with the countless references to viewnames that naturally arise when rendering views within views within views.

When view A renders view B within the same format object, A's voo is the parent of B's voo. When card C nests card D, a new (sub)format object is initialized. C is then the parent format of D, but D has its own root voo.

So a lineage might look something like this:

F1V1 -> F1V2 -> F1V3 -> F2V1 -> F2V2 -> F3V1 ...

Constructor Details

#initialize(format, view, raw_options = {}, parent = nil) ⇒ View

Returns a new instance of View.

Parameters:

  • format (Card::Format)
  • view (Symbol) —

    viewname. Note: Card::View is initialized without a view when voo is called outside of a render, eg subformat(cardname).method_with_voo_reference.

  • raw_options (Hash) (defaults to: {})
  • parent (Card::View) (defaults to: nil) —

    (optional)
