Action View Context

Action View contexts are supplied to Action Controller to render template. The default Action View context is ActionView::Base.

In order to work with ActionController, a Context must just include this module. The initialization of the variables used by the context (@output_buffer, @view_flow, and @virtual_path) is responsibility of the object that includes this module (although you can call _prepare_context defined below).

Methods

_layout_for(name=nil)

Encapsulates the interaction with the view flow so it returns the correct buffer on yield. This is usually overwriten by helpers to add more behavior. :api: plugin
