I have a 'My Scores' view in my Node JS / Sails JS app and I'm using partials, one for a List View, and another one for a Grid View. When the user clicks the Grid or List View from the nav bar I'd like to be able to swap the UI with the given partial.
List view:
<div class="content-container">
<h1>My Scores</h1>
<%- partial('../partials/list-view')%>
</div>
Grid view:
<div class="content-container">
<h1>My Scores</h1>
<%- partial('../partials/grid-view')%>
</div>
Please advise.
No problem--just use a variable for the partial name, instead of hardcoding it:
<%- partial(viewName) %>
then in your config/routes.js:
"/listView": {
view: "list.ejs",
locals: {viewName: "../partials/list-view.ejs"}
},
"/gridView": {
view: "list.ejs",
locals: {viewName: "../partials/grid-view.ejs"}
}
That's assuming you're just routing directly to views. If you're using a custom controller action and res.view() to display your content, you'll put the viewName value in the second res.view() argument, like res.view("list.ejs",{viewName: "../partials/list-view.ejs"}).
Now, if you're trying to do this without reloading the page, then @tonejac has the right idea in his comment--either switch them using Javascript/CSS, or use AJAX to load content on-demand. Sails can only help on the backend!
