Instance Public methods
render(*args, &block)
Normalizes arguments and options, and then delegates to render_to_body and sticks the result in self.response_body.
Supported options depend on the underlying render_to_body implementation.
📝 Source code
# File actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/rendering.rb, line 27
    def render(*args, &block)
      options = _normalize_render(*args, &block)
      rendered_body = render_to_body(options)
      if options[:html]
        _set_html_content_type
      else
        _set_rendered_content_type rendered_format
      end
      _set_vary_header
      self.response_body = rendered_body
    endrender_to_body(options = {})
Performs the actual template rendering.
📝 Source code
# File actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/rendering.rb, line 51
    def render_to_body(options = {})
    endrender_to_string(*args, &block)
Similar to render, but only returns the rendered template as a string, instead of setting self.response_body.
If a component extends the semantics of response_body (as ActionController extends it to be anything that responds to the method each), this method needs to be overridden in order to still return a string.

    def render_to_string(*args, &block)
      options = _normalize_render(*args, &block)
      render_to_body(options)
    endrendered_format()
Returns Content-Type of rendered content.
📝 Source code
# File actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/rendering.rb, line 55
    def rendered_format
      Mime[:text]
    endview_assigns()
This method should return a hash with assigns. You can overwrite this configuration per controller.

    def view_assigns
      variables = instance_variables - _protected_ivars
      variables.each_with_object({}) do |name, hash|
        hash[name.slice(1, name.length)] = instance_variable_get(name)
      end
    endInstance Private methods
_normalize_args(action = nil, options = {})
Normalize args by converting render "foo" to render action: "foo" and render "foo/bar" to render file: "foo/bar".

Normalize options.
