Question

How can I use views and layouts with Ruby and ERB (not Rails)?

Today i\'m using this code to render my view:

def render(template_path, context = sel

Thanks for all the answers!

I solved it finally by doing this, I hope someone else also can find this code useful:

def render_with_layout(template_path, context = self)
template = File.read(template_path)
render_layout do
  ERB.new(template).result(context.get_binding)
end
end

def render_layout
layout = File.read('views/layouts/app.html.erb')
ERB.new(layout).result(binding)
end

And I call it like this:

def index
@books = Book.all
body = render_with_layout('views/books/index.html.erb')
[200, {}, [body]]
end

Then it will render my view, with the hardcoded (so far) layout..
