How do I use local variables in Rails partials?

How do I use local variables in Rails partials?

In Rails, you can pass local variables to partials using the locals option. For example, you can render a partial like this: render partial: 'your_partial', locals: { variable_name: value }.

Can you give me an example of a partial that uses local variables?

Sure! Let's say you have a partial _user.html.erb. You can pass a user object as a local variable like this: render partial: 'user', locals: { user: @user }. Inside the partial, you can access it with user.name.

What if I want to pass multiple local variables?

You can pass multiple local variables by including them in the locals hash. For example: render partial: 'your_partial', locals: { var1: value1, var2: value2 }.

Are there any limitations to using local variables in partials?

The main limitation is that local variables are only accessible within the partial. They won't be available in the parent view.
