Question

I have a Picture model and i’d like to use <%= render @pictures %> in my view in order to display them.
I also want the pictures to be arranged as 3 columns across the screen.

If I use the render how can I know which picture I am rendering in order to know where to place it? (such as in a table or some other arrangement that is not 1 dimensional)

Is there a way to make the rendering automation to have a counter?

Answer 1

<% @pictures.each_index do |i| %>
    <% #some routine here %>
    <%= render @pictures[i] %>
<% end %>
