Object Oriented Partials

Are there any plugins/mixins that provide an OO partial view framework? e.g If A < B (subclass) and A < C,   As I'm rendering a list of A's, depending on the type of A, attempts to render _B_as_listitem or _C_as_listitem first, otherwise render's _A_as_listitem (super), each partial would take the an object of type A as a param.

This would be a bad implementation of the idea:

models

class A < ActiveRecord::Base class B < A class C < A

AController def list   @list_of_a = A.find(:all) end

list.html.erb

<% for a in @list_of_a %>   <% render :partial => 'A_as_list_item', :locals => {:object => a} %> <%end%>

_A_as_list_item

  case a[:type]   when 'B'     <% render :partial => 'B_as_list_item', :locals => {:object => a} %>   when 'C'     <% render :partial => 'C_as_list_item', :locals => {:object => a} %>   end

[...]

<% @list_of_a do |a| -%>   <%= render :partial => "#{a.class}_as_list_item", :object => a %> <% end -%>
