View Rendering

ComfortableMexicanSofa extends functionality of the render method to allow rendering of CMS pages, just like regular templates. When you have helpers/partials in place to handle instance variables set in the controller, this is incredibly powerful feature.

To explicitly specify what CMS Page needs to be rendered:

class EntriesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @entries = Entry.all
    render :cms_page => '/entries'
  end
end

You can also render CMS Page implicitly. If Rails cannot find a template and throws ActionView::MissingTemplate Sofa will attempt to serve a page that matches the request URL. For example, if /entries is routed to EntriesController#index we can do this:

class EntriesController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @entries = Entry.all
  end
end

If there's no index.erb.html Sofa will automatically render page with full_path /entries
