**Course Title:** Ruby Programming: From Basics to Advanced Techniques **Section Title:** Advanced Rails: Routing and Views **Topic:** Layouts and partials for better code organization **Introduction** In the previous topics, we have covered the basics of Ruby on Rails and how to build a simple application. However, as our applications grow in complexity, it becomes essential to organize our code in a structured and maintainable way. In this topic, we will explore how to use layouts and partials to improve the organization and reusability of our code. **What are Layouts and Partials?** In Rails, a layout is a template that defines the overall structure of a page, including the header, footer, and main content area. A partial, on the other hand, is a reusable piece of code that can be included in multiple places within a layout. **Why Use Layouts and Partials?** Using layouts and partials provides several benefits, including: * Improved code organization and reusability * Easier maintenance and updates of your application * Enhanced performance and scalability **Defining a Layout** To define a layout in Rails, you can use the `layout` method in your controller or the `layout` attribute in your view. For example: ```ruby # app/controllers/users_controller.rb class UsersController < ApplicationController def show @user = User.find(params[:id]) end def layout 'application' end end ``` This will use the `application` layout for the `show` action. **Defining a Partial** To define a partial in Rails, you can create a new file with a `.erb` or `.haml` extension, for example `user_info.erb`. Then, in your view, you can include the partial using the `include` method: ```erb # app/views/users/show.erb <h1> <%= @user.name %> </h1> <%= render partial: 'user_info' %> ``` This will render the `user_info` partial inside the `show` view. **Using Layouts and Partials in Rails** Here is an example of how to use layouts and partials in a Rails application: ```ruby # app/views/layouts/application.html.erb <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> <%= yield(:title) %> </title> </head> <body> <header> <nav> <ul> <li> <%= link_to 'Home', root_path %> </li> <li> <%= link_to 'Users', users_path %> </li> </ul> </nav> </header> <main> <%= yield %> </main> <footer> © 2023 </footer> </body> </html> ``` ```erb # app/views/users/show.erb <h1> <%= @user.name %> </h1> <%= render partial: 'user_info' %> ``` ```erb # app/views/users/_user_info.erb <p> Email: <%= @user.email %> </p> <p> Phone: <%= @user.phone %> </p> ``` In this example, the `application` layout defines the overall structure of the page, including the header, footer, and main content area. The `show` view uses the `application` layout and includes the `user_info` partial to display the user's email and phone number. **Practical Takeaways** * Use layouts to define the overall structure of your pages and include partials to reuse code. * Use the `layout` method in your controller or the `layout` attribute in your view to define a layout. * Use the `include` method to include partials in your views. * Use the `yield` method to pass data from your controller to your view. **Exercise** Create a new layout called `blog` and define a partial called `post_info`. Then, create a new view called `posts/show` that uses the `blog` layout and includes the `post_info` partial. **Leave a comment or ask for help** If you have any questions or need further clarification on this topic, please leave a comment below.
