How to make a layout from a database in rails 4?

Question

Is it possible to read a line from a text field and display it as a layout?

If I use this, it searches for the 1.html.erb file under the layouts:

 layout: '1' 

Answer 1

You can pass the layout name in a call to render

 def show @team = Team.find_by name: 'Red Sox' render action: :show, layout: @team.preferred_layout end 

Answer 2

Check out http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html

All official rails are a great resource.

To use text

 render text: "OK"
