Ruby on Rails Expression in views

Question

I'm new to rails and I got little confused when I seen this code in a view file.

<%= make_case_name payment, current_cart %>

What does the above code do.. Where to look for this payment variable?

Answer 1

Your above code aims to call the method make_case_name with two arguments: payment and current_cart .

As this code is embedded in your view, that means payment and current_cart are local variable. The method make_case_name is located in your helper.

Anyway, if it's belongs to a specific project that you're working on, you should contact with the project owner or developers for further details.

Answer 2

You have a following method which takes two parameters ie payment and current_cart. Those are the local variables.

Structure is as follows

def make_case_name(payment, current_cart)
  # your logic code
end

As per my assumption your make_case_name method may be present in the helpers .

Note : If you give few more details that would be helpful
