20 * Action View templates can be written in two ways. If the template file has a +.tpl+ extension then it uses PHP.
22 * = PHP
24 * You trigger PHP by using embeddings such as <? ?>, <?php ?> and <?= ?>. The difference is whether you want output or not. Consider the
25 * following loop for names:
27 * <b>Names of all the people</b>
28 * <?php foreach($people as $person) : ?>
29 * Name: <?=$person->name ?><br/>
30 * <?php endforeach ?>
32 * == Using sub templates
34 * Using sub templates allows you to sidestep tedious replication and extract common display structures in shared templates. The
35 * classic example is the use of a header and footer (even though the Action Pack-way would be to use Layouts):
37 * <?= $controller->render("shared/header") ?>
38 * Something really specific and terrific
39 * <?= $controller->render("shared/footer") ?>
41 * As you see, we use the output embeddings for the render methods. The render call itself will just return a string holding the
42 * result of the rendering. The output embedding writes it to the current template.
44 * But you don't have to restrict yourself to static includes. Templates can share variables amongst themselves by using instance
45 * variables defined using the regular embedding tags. Like this:
47 * <?php $shared->page_title = "A Wonderful Hello" ?>
48 * <?= $controller->render("shared/header") ?>
50 * Now the header can pick up on the $page_title variable and use it for outputting a title tag:
52 * <title><?= $page_title ?></title>
54 * == Passing local variables to sub templates
56 * You can pass local variables to sub templates by using an array with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:
58 * <?= $controller->render("shared/header", array('headline'=>'Welcome','person'=> $person )) ?>
60 * These can now be accessed in shared/header with:
62 * Headline: <?= $headline ?>
63 * First name: <?= $person->first_name ?>
66 * == JavaScriptGenerator ==
68 * @todo Fully implement Javascript Generators
70 * JavaScriptGenerator templates end in +.js.tpl+. Unlike conventional templates which are used to
71 * render the results of an action, these templates generate instructions on how to modify an already rendered page. This makes it easy to
72 * modify multiple elements on your page in one declarative Ajax response. Actions with these templates are called in the background with Ajax
73 * and make updates to the page where the request originated from.
75 * An instance of the JavaScriptGenerator object named +page+ is automatically made available to your template,
76 * which is implicitly wrapped in an AkActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper::update_page method.
78 * When an .js.tpl action is called with +linkToRemote+, the generated JavaScript is automatically evaluated. Example:
80 * linkToRemote(array('url' => array('action' => 'delete')));
82 * The subsequently rendered +delete.js.tpl+ might look like:
84 * <% replace_html 'sidebar', :partial => 'sidebar' %>
85 * <% remove "person-#{person.id}" %>
86 * <% visual_effect :highlight, 'user-list' %>
88 * This refreshes the sidebar, removes a person element and highlights the user list.
90 * See the AkActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper/JavaScriptGenerator documentation for more details.

301 * Partial Views
303 * There's also a convenience method for rendering sub templates within the current controller that depends on a single object
304 * (we call this kind of sub templates for partials). It relies on the fact that partials should follow the naming convention of being
305 * prefixed with an underscore -- as to separate them from regular templates that could be rendered on their own.
307 * In a template for AdvertiserController::account:
309 * <?= $controller->render(array('partial' => 'account')); ?>
311 * This would render "advertiser/_account.tpl" and pass the instance variable $controller->account in as a local variable $account to
312 * the template for display.
314 * In another template for Advertiser::buy, we could have:
316 * <?= $controller->render(array('partial' =>'account','locals'=>array('account'=>$buyer))); ?>
318 * <?php foreach($advertisements as $ad) : ?>
319 * <?= $controller->render(array('partial'=>'ad','locals'=>array('ad'=>$ad))); ?>
320 * <?php endforeach; ?>
322 * This would first render "advertiser/_account.tpl" with $buyer passed in as the local variable $account, then render
323 * "advertiser/_ad.tpl" and pass the local variable $ad to the template for display.
325 * == Rendering a collection of partials
327 * The example of partial use describes a familiar pattern where a template needs to iterate over an array and render a sub
328 * template for each of the elements. This pattern has been implemented as a single method that accepts an array and renders
329 * a partial by the same name as the elements contained within. So the three-lined example in "Using partials" can be rewritten
330 * with a single line:
332 * <?= $controller->render(array('partial'=>'ad','collection'=>(array)$advertisements)); ?>
334 * This will render "advertiser/_ad.tpl" and pass the local variable +ad+ to the template for display. An iteration counter
335 * will automatically be made available to the template with a name of the form +partial_name_counter+. In the case of the
336 * example above, the template would be fed +ad_counter+.
338 * == Rendering shared partials
340 * Two controllers can share a set of partials and render them like this:
342 * <?= $controller->render(array('partial'=>'advertiser/ad', 'locals' => array('ad' => $advertisement ))); ?>
344 * This will render the partial "advertiser/_ad.tpl" regardless of which controller this is being called from.
