Question

I render an instance of a model into a partial with the following code <%= render @places %>.

I created _places.html.erb. I thought I could use the following code since the render method is supposed to iterates trhough the places collection :

<li>
    <%= link_to place.name, place %>
</li>

I get this error : undefined local variable or method 'place' for #<#<Class:0x007fc1c0a4e6b8>:0x007fc1c05050a8>
I have to use to make it work :

<% @places.each do |place| %>
  <li>
    <%= link_to place.name, place %>
  </li>
<% end%>

try this:

<%= render :partial => 'places.html', :collection => @places, :as => :place %>

Or, if you have the partial file as singular name, you can do it like this(without the variable :as)

 <%= render :partial => 'place.html', :collection => @places %>
