Looking for insight into the Rails Way of handling views
I''ve been developing rails apps for a couple of years now and I must say that I think it is a great way to build web apps. Rails is constantly evolving as are the lines of thinking / features / practices / conventions, etc. As Rails evolves, it is important to decide what to adopt. Some things I adopt right away and others I try to monitor and see what happens. Historically, I have found that views / erb have been the one area leaving me scratching my head on the approach to development and more importantly the maintenance of an app. Especially large applications. My current method is using a custom scaffold generator to generate views that utilize a custom code base that helps deliver the html. The code in the views adheres to The Rails Way and works great, but, I have been building apps this way for a while and have kept a close eye on how things have evolved. I''m at a point where I need to make a decision on how to design views for my apps moving forward. I''m looking for insight as to the current line of thinking / convention for handling views in rails. What is the current "Rails Way" to design views? What direction is Rails moving with regard to views? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
