passing several instant variables to a rjs file

rubyonrails-talk
1

I have controller:

   def liste     @tags_pages, @tags = paginate(:tags, :order => "tags desc")    end

and a RJS-file (liste.rjs):

   page[:main].replace_html :partial => "liste", :object => @tags ???

and a RHTML-file (_liste.rhtml):

  <% for a in @tags %>   <%= a.tag.downcase %>   <% end %>

I want to display a page with all tags in the database. Because there are a hundred of them I want' to use pagination. But to use the RJS file I need @tags_pages AND @tags in it.

How to manage this?

Didn't try it yet, but from what the API docs of ActionView and ActionController say about the render command, you should be able to just pass a hash:

from API: You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:

  <%= render "shared/header", { :headline => "Welcome", :person => person } %>

so try this:

page[:main].replace_html :partial => "liste", {:tags => @tags, :tag_pages => @tag_pages }
