I had to do this with my first few rails apps after it turned out that render_component had horrible performance. It was kind of a pain because the first rails books used them in examples and there was no discussion back then about whether or not it was a good idea. Anyway...
>From my experience a render component in a view should be replaced by a render :partial and a render component in a controller could be replaced by a filter of some sort. That said, it has been a long long time and I might be a bit off there. At anyrate, I had only really used them in views and converting them usually involved just making sure whatever variables they depended on were passed in as locals or already available as instance variables. Some specific code examples could allow use to make suggestions about how to start re-factoring. On Jul 31, 6:22 am, Michael Cugley <[email protected]> wrote: > New to Ruby, new to Rails.
