Rails Controller Integration

Pages are used as Rails view substitutes and therefore called in a Rails controller action:
app/controllers/some_controller.rb
class SomeController < ApplicationController
​
  include Matestack::Ui::Core::Helper
​
  def overview
    render Pages::SomePage
  end
​
end
A Matestack page will in this case be yielded into the Rails layout, unless the Rails layout is disabled in the controller via:layout false
Passing data to pages
Sometimes you want to pass in data from the calling controller action into the page. This works the same way as seen at components:
class SomeController < ActionController::Base
​
  include Matestack::Ui::Core::Helper
​
  def some_page
    render SomePage, foo: 'bar', bar: 'baz'
  end
​
end
class SomePage < Matestack::Ui::Page
​
  required :foo
  optional :bar
​
  def response
    div id: "my-page" do
      plain context.foo # "bar"
      plain context.bar # "baz"
    end
  end
​
end
