Phlex Views in Rails

In Phlex, a view is really just another component, but views are not typically rendered inside other views. They’re usually the root and they usually start with a doctype and end with </html>.

To help distinguish views from components, the install generator in phlex-rails creates a Views module and loads Ruby files in app/views under this module.

You can create a view with the generator. By convention, views should map to the names of your controllers and actions.

bundle exec rails g phlex:view Articles::Index

Rendering a view

Now in your ArticlesController, you can render the view like this:

class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    render Views::Articles::Index.new(
      articles: Article.all
    )
  end
end
