Public instance methods
This method is responsible for properly setting the encoding of the source. Until this point, we assume that the source is BINARY data. If no additional information is supplied, we assume the encoding is the same as Encoding.default_external
.
The user can also specify the encoding via a comment on the first line of the template (# encoding: NAME-OF-ENCODING
). This will work with any template engine, as we process out the encoding comment before passing the source on to the template engine, leaving a blank line in its stead.
Source code GitHub
# File actionview/lib/action_view/template.rb, line 312
def encode!
source = self.source
return source unless source.encoding == Encoding::BINARY
# Look for # encoding: *. If we find one, we'll encode the
# String in that encoding, otherwise, we'll use the
# default external encoding.
if source.sub!(LEADING_ENCODING_REGEXP, "")
encoding = magic_encoding = $1
else
encoding = Encoding.default_external
end
# Tag the source with the default external encoding
# or the encoding specified in the file
source.force_encoding(encoding)
# If the user didn't specify an encoding, and the handler
# handles encodings, we simply pass the String as is to
# the handler (with the default_external tag)
if !magic_encoding && @handler.respond_to?(:handles_encoding?) && @handler.handles_encoding?
source
# Otherwise, if the String is valid in the encoding,
# encode immediately to default_internal. This means
# that if a handler doesn't handle encodings, it will
# always get Strings in the default_internal
elsif source.valid_encoding?
source.encode!
# Otherwise, since the String is invalid in the encoding
# specified, raise an exception
else
raise WrongEncodingError.new(source, encoding)

def inspect
"#<#{self.class.name} #{short_identifier} locals=#{locals.inspect}>"
end
Returns a hash with the defined local variables.
Given this sub template rendering:
<%= render "application/header", { headline: "Welcome", person: person } %>
You can use local_assigns
in the sub templates to access the local variables:
local_assigns[:headline] # => "Welcome"
Each key in local_assigns
is available as a partial-local variable:
local_assigns[:headline] # => "Welcome"
headline # => "Welcome"
Since local_assigns
is a Hash
, it’s compatible with Ruby 3.1’s pattern matching assignment operator:
local_assigns => { headline:, **options }
headline # => "Welcome"
options # => {}
Pattern matching assignment also supports variable renaming:
local_assigns => { headline: title }
title # => "Welcome"
If a template refers to a variable that isn’t passed into the view as part of the locals: { ... }
Hash, the template will raise an ActionView::Template::Error
:
<%# => raises ActionView::Template::Error %>
<% alerts.each do |alert| %>
<p><%= alert %></p>
<% end %>
Since local_assigns
returns a Hash
instance, you can conditionally read a variable, then fall back to a default value when the key isn’t part of the locals: { ... }
options:
<% local_assigns.fetch(:alerts, []).each do |alert| %>
<p><%= alert %></p>
<% end %>
Combining Ruby 3.1’s pattern matching assignment with calls to +Hash#with_defaults+ enables compact partial-local variable assignments:
<% local_assigns.with_defaults(alerts: []) => { headline:, alerts: } %>
<h1><%= headline %></h1>
<% alerts.each do |alert| %>
<p><%= alert %></p>
<% end %>
By default, templates will accept any locals
as keyword arguments and make them available to local_assigns
. To restrict what local_assigns
a template will accept, add a locals:
magic comment:
<%# locals: (headline:, alerts: []) %>
<h1><%= headline %></h1>
<% alerts.each do |alert| %>
<p><%= alert %></p>
<% end %>

Render a template. If the template was not compiled yet, it is done exactly before rendering.
This method is instrumented as “!render_template.action_view”. Notice that we use a bang in this instrumentation because you don’t want to consume this in production. This is only slow if it’s being listened to.
Source code GitHub
# File actionview/lib/action_view/template.rb, line 262
def render(view, locals, buffer = nil, implicit_locals: [], add_to_stack: true, &block)

compile!(view)
if strict_locals? && @strict_local_keys && !implicit_locals.empty?
locals_to_ignore = implicit_locals - @strict_local_keys
locals.except!(*locals_to_ignore)
end

view._run(method_name, self, locals, buffer, add_to_stack: add_to_stack, has_strict_locals: strict_locals?, &block)

This method is responsible for marking a template as having strict locals which means the template can only accept the locals defined in a magic comment. For example, if your template acceps the locals title
and comment_count
, add the following to your template file:
<%# locals: (title: "Default title", comment_count: 0) %>
Strict locals are useful for validating template arguments and for specifying defaults.
Source code GitHub
# File actionview/lib/action_view/template.rb, line 357
def strict_locals!
if @strict_locals == NONE
self.source.sub!(STRICT_LOCALS_REGEX, "")
@strict_locals = $1
return if @strict_locals.nil? # Magic comment not found
@strict_locals = "**nil" if @strict_locals.blank?
end
@strict_locals
end
Returns whether a template is using strict locals.

end
Returns whether the underlying handler supports streaming. If so, a streaming buffer may be passed when it starts rendering.
