I am new to ROR and I don't understand how can I make global template which I could put in any other template. For example I have categories module and would like to create sidebar navigation and put it at homepage template. I tried to do it this way, but categories controller method side_nav is never called. Is this good practice for this type of problem or should i do it different way?
categories/categories_controller.rb
def side_nav
@categories = Category.all
end
categories/_side_nav.html.erb
<ul class="list-unstyled">
<% categories.each do |category| %>
<li><%= link_to category.title, category.title.downcase %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
homepage/index.html.erb
<%= render 'categories/side_nav' %>
You may look at layout/application file. It's global layout in your custom project by default. And you can provide your custom layouts in your contollers.
