Rails Controller Integration

Pages are used as Rails view substitutes and therefore called in a Rails controller action:
app/controllers/some_controller.rb
1
class SomeController < ApplicationController
2
​
3
  include Matestack::Ui::Core::Helper
4
​
5
  def overview
6
    render Pages::SomePage
7
  end
8
​
9
end
Copied!
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:
1
class SomeController < ActionController::Base
2
​
3
  include Matestack::Ui::Core::Helper
4
​
5
  def some_page
6
    render SomePage, foo: 'bar', bar: 'baz'
7
  end
8
​
9
end
Copied!
1
class SomePage < Matestack::Ui::Page
2
​
3
  required :foo
4
  optional :bar
5
​
6
  def response
7
    div id: "my-page" do
8
      plain context.foo # "bar"
9
      plain context.bar # "baz"
10
    end
11
  end
12
​
13
end
Copied!
