Pass variable to partial?

[Ryan]

I have no idea if this is possible or desirable, so I'd welcome comments on both. (As always, showing my level of competence! :)

I have a few different tool tips that need to be shown in various places on my page. They each show a slightly different tip, but are essentially the same. I wanted to put all of the tip html into one partial and then when I call <%= render '/path/tomy/partial/' %> pass along a variable that would be used evaluate the if/else logic inside the partial. 

So something like this is what I was thinking, but can't seem to get it work. 

On my view:

<%= render '/path/tomy/partial', options{:value => "1"}  %>

Inside the partial

<% if :value == "1" %>

  

   Show this tool tip text

<% elsif :value == "2" %>

    Show this other tool tip text

<% else :value == "3" %>

   Show this third version 

<% end %>

Of course, the simple solution is to create three partials and just call them as needed. I suppose I'm just exploring here. Thanks so much for your thoughts!

At this time Serve doesn't have handling for Rails style locals. (Would love a patch for this.) Instead you can set instance variables:

    <% @value = "1" %>

    <%= render 'path/to/my/partial' %>

or, more concisely:

   <%= @value = "1"; render 'path/to/my/partial %>

Hi John,

I'm using a rails style partial with locals:

=render "/background_image", locals: {image: "/images/products/armorweave-bk.jpg"}

# background_image.html.haml

-content_for :css do 

  %style

    body.full #main { background-image: url(#{image}) }
