This is what I came up with in the end:
module Helpers
def method_missing symbol, *args
unless /^_/!~symbol.to_s
partial symbol.to_s
else
super
end
end
def partial p
ERB.new(File.read "./crud/views/#{p}.erb").result(binding)
end
end
I took a look at the route maker, and rather than modify that to have
all controllers inherit a Partials module I just added the above to
the Helpers module.
Design wise it's not perfect. Partials really belong in the Views
module, but with no equivalent to the Mab object when using ERB I
couldn't figure out a way to access partials from the Views module.
