Hanami 2.1: Views that are a sight to see
After a year of work, Hanami 2.1 is here! This release introduces our view layer and front-end assets support, and brings Hanami a big step closer to our full stack vision.
From there, you’re ready to open http://localhost:2300 and take in our gorgeous new welcome screen, in both light and dark mode.
To build your new front-end, you can start with views. Like actions, Hanami views are standalone, callable objects, bringing a new level of clarity and reusability to the view layer.
View exposures explicitly prepare the values we pass to templates, and they work seamlessly with Hanami’s Deps mixin, allowing your view to cleanly access other parts of your app as required.
Hanami 2.1 delivers a brand new ERB engine, providing you a familiar template environment while also allowing for natural Ruby in view-focused methods, with a simple yield capturing nested template content, with no special handling required.
On their own, helpers can become a bit of a mishmash, so Hanami provides view parts that encapsulate your view logic right alongside the value it relates to. They can even render their own partials! This keeps your templates simple and lets you use ordinary OO techniques to refactor and independently test your view code.
