csrf_meta_tags

provide

provide(name, content = nil, &block) Instance Public methods The same as content_for but when used with streaming flushes straight back to the layout. In other words, if you want to concatenate several times to the same buffer when rendering a given template, you should use content_for, if not, use provide to tell the layout to stop looking for more contents.

content_for?

content_for?(name) Instance Public methods #content_for? checks whether any content has been captured yet using `content_for`. Useful to render parts of your layout differently based on what is in your views. <%# This is the layout %> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>My Website</title> <%= yield :script %> </head> <body class="<%= content_for?(:right_col) ? 'two-column' : 'one-colum

content_for

content_for(name, content = nil, options = {}, &block) Instance Public methods Calling #content_for stores a block of markup in an identifier for later use. In order to access this stored content in other templates, helper modules or the layout, you would pass the identifier as an argument to content_for. Note: yield can still be used to retrieve the stored content, but calling yield doesn't work in helper modules, while content_for does. <% content_for :not_authorized do %&
