render to string rails

To render a Rails view to a string in Ruby, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new instance of ActionView::Base with the appropriate configurations.

  2. Use the render method on the ActionView::Base instance to render the desired template to a string.

  3. Capture the rendered output as a string and store it in a variable for further use.

Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

# Step 1: Create a new instance of ActionView::Base
av = ActionView::Base.new()

# Step 2: Render the desired template to a string
rendered_string = av.render(template: 'example/template')

# Step 3: Capture the rendered output as a string
puts rendered_string

These steps will allow you to render a Rails view to a string in Ruby.
