Class: Mack::Rendering::Type::Action

Used to render a template that‘s relative to a controller.

Example:

  class UsersController
    include Mack::Controller
    # /users/:id
    def show
      @user = User.first(params[:id])
    end
    # /users
    def index
      @users = User.all
      render(:action, :list)
    end
  end

When some calls /users/1 the file: app/views/users/show.html.erb will be rendered. When some calls /users the file: app/views/users/list.html.erb will be rendered.

  app/views/users/show.html.erb
