Question

render @some_object

will render Rails.root/app/views/some_objects/_some_object.html.erb

Now I want to handle which partial will be rendered depends on its data_type field. For example:

class SomeObject < AR::Base
  # some magick method wich I need to rewrite
  def partial_name
    case data_type
    when "String"
      "string_template"
    when "Text"
      "text_template"
    else
      "blank_template"
    end
  end
end

I know there is model_name, i18n_key and some others, which are returnes model name, but which one is used in my render @object case?

EDIT

Now I’ve stopped on the easiest solution that didn’t touch models. I removed all this logic into _some_object.html.erb partial, so it renders partial I need inside of itself:

<div class='claim_template_field'>
  <%= render "/some_objects/#{f.object.data_type.downcase}_template", :f => f %>
</div>
