Hello, is there any way to define a default value for partial locals?
Example:
I have a template that includes a partial like this:
<%= partial(“mypartial”, :locals => { :test => false }) %>
Setting the “test” variable to “false” on “mypartial”.
But inside “mypartial”, I want that the default value of “test” to be “true”. So, if I include the partial like this:
<%= partial(“mypartial” %>
“test” will be true.
Any help?
Thanks!
You can try to create a variable called test <% test = false %>, but not sure whether this works.
I’m still a neophyte and try to learn myself something about ruby and MM.
I know this is a silly work around but it worked for me in the past. I basically tested to see if test existed if it did then I’m in the false state, and if it didn’t then I’m in a true state. I know backwards thinking. So, I do something super bad like:
<% unless test %>
do something useful
<% else %>
do something special
<% end %>I’m not sure if it’s the best way, but for me it’s the simplest. Inside your partial (“mypartial”):
<% test ||= true %>
Basically, if test is defined, then it will use that value, if not, it will use true.
