mote-render

Mote plugin for Cuba. This plugin was extracted from the cuba-contrib gem, made by cyx.

Usage

To use Mote, you need to load the Mote::Render plugin as shown below:

require "mote/render"

Cuba.plugin(Mote::Render)

Mote::Render provides three helper methods for rendering templates: partial, view and render.

Cuba.define do
  on "about" do
    # `partial` renders a template without a layout.
    res.write partial("about")
  end

  on "home" do
    # `view` renders a template within a layout.
    res.write view("about")
  end

  on "contact" do
    # `render` is a shortcut to `res.write view(...)`
    render("contact")
  end
end

By default, Mote::Render assumes that all view templates are placed in a folder named views and that they use the .mote extension. Also for view and render methods, it assumes that the layout template is called layout.mote.

The defaults can be changed through the Cuba.settings method:

Cuba.settings[:mote][:views] = "./views/admin/"
Cuba.settings[:mote][:layout] = "admin"

Layouts

To render inner content into a layout, use the {{ content }} tag.

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Mote Layout</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, mote!</h1>
    {{ content }}
  </body>
</html>

Helpers

You can use the app variable to access the application helpers.

Cuba.define do
  def h(unsafe)
    ...
  end
end
<h1>{{ app.h("unsafe") }}</h1>

{{ app.partial("list") }}
