better_partials
Provides syntactic suger for render :partial
Example
Render a partial <%= partial “people/search_box” %>
Pass some parameters in <% form_for @person do |f| %>
<%= partial "people/form", :f => f %>
<% end %>
Pass in a collection <%= partial “people/person”, :collection => @people %>
Or the terse way <%= partials @people %>
Also works, but not as nice reading <%= partial @people %>
Rendering a block <% partial “people/box” do %>
Inner connect goes here.. (gets called in your partial's yield statement)
<% end %>
Special Partial Options pass through to render :partial (all others are passed through to the :locals parameter)
:collection, :spacer_template, :object, :use_full_path
