listing out available variables in an ERB template

[mgerstenblatt]

[Note: parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.]

Hi All,

Suppose I have a Ruby ERB template named **my_template.html.erb**, and it
contains the following:

<div><%= @div_1 %></div>
<div><%= @div_2 %></div>
<div><%= @div_3 %></div>

Is there a way I can programatically list out all the available variables in
the template?

For example, the following method:

def list_out_variables
template = File.open("path_to/my_template.html.erb", "rb").read
erb = ERB.new( template )
erb.this_method_would_list_out_variables
end

would return something like:

['div1','div2','div3']


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Ruby has some reflexive methods you can use.


$gvar = 1
lvar = 2
@ivar = 3
class Foo
@@cvar = 4
end

p instance_variables
p global_variables
p local_variables
class Foo
p class_variables
end
