Ruby on Rails Views Structure
Example
As Rails follows the MVC pattern Views are where your "templates" are for your actions.
Let's say you have a controller articles_controller.rb. For this controller you would have a folder in views called app/views/articles:
app
|-- controllers
| '-- articles_controller.rb
|
'-- views
'-- articles
| |- index.html.erb
| |- edit.html.erb
| |- show.html.erb
| |- new.html.erb
| '- _partial_view.html.erb
|
'-- [...]
This structure allows you to have a folder for each controller. When calling an action in your controller the appropriate view will be rendered automatically.
// articles_controller.rb
class ArticlesController < ActionController::Base
def show
end
end
// show.html.erb
<h1>My show view</h1>
