module UI::ScreenHelpers

Overview

Controller mixin. Include in ApplicationController so every controller in the app can call #compute_screen_html(ScreenClass) before render("action.ecr").

class ApplicationController < Amber::Controller::Base
  include UI::ScreenHelpers
  LAYOUT = "application.ecr"
end

class SignInController < ApplicationController
  def index
    compute_screen_html(SignInScreen)
    render("index.ecr")
  end
end

The shim template at src/views/sign_in/index.ecr is one line:

<%= @screen_html %>

Use bin/asset_pipeline_amber generate <controller> <action> to create the shim file mechanically.

Defined in:

asset_pipeline/amber_integration.cr
