In the book Programming Phoenix we have this user_controller.ex show action
def show(conn, %{"id" => id}) do
user = Accounts.get_user(id)
render(conn, "show.html", user: user)
end
then in show.html.eex you have
<h1>Showing User</h1>
<%= render "user.html", user: @user %>
and finally in user.html.eex
<strong><%= first_name(@user) %></strong> (<%= @user.id %>)
The question is why render “user.html” is using @user instead of just user? Is the controller render function and template render function one and the same?
