Nest EEX Templates
I’m trying to nest EEX templates. I’d like this approach to be able to pass HTML as a parameter to a render function. To make this happen I tried to use the ~E sigil from Phoenix.HTML.
Given the following code I get an error:
<%= render(AcmeAdmin.PartialView, "_card.html", content: ~E"""
<table>
<tr>
<th><%= "Name" |> gettext %></th>
</tr>
</table>
""") %>
** (TokenMissingError) lib/acme_admin/templates/partial/foo.html.eex:4: missing terminator: """ (for heredoc starting at line 1)
(eex) lib/eex/compiler.ex:45: EEx.Compiler.generate_buffer/4
(phoenix) lib/phoenix/template.ex:349: Phoenix.Template.compile/3
(phoenix) lib/phoenix/template.ex:160: anonymous fn/4 in Phoenix.Template."MACRO-__before_compile__"/2
(elixir) lib/enum.ex:1925: Enum."-reduce/3-lists^foldl/2-0-"/3
(phoenix) expanding macro: Phoenix.Template.__before_compile__/1
lib/acme_admin/views/partial_view.ex:1: AcmeAdmin.PartialView (module)
(elixir) lib/kernel/parallel_compiler.ex:206: anonymous fn/4 in Kernel.ParallelCompiler.spawn_workers/6
I tried to escape the inner eex block with double %%.
How can this be implemented?

In MyAppWeb.view/0 add:
defmacro render_block(module, template, assigns, do: block) do
quote do
block_content = unquote(block)
render(
unquote(module),
unquote(template),
unquote(assigns) |> Map.put_new(:block_content, block_content)
)
end
end
and use it like so:
<%= render_block AcmeAdmin.PartialView, "_card.html", assigns do %>
some HTML
<% end %>
net
Doesn’t need to be a macro:
def render_in(module, template, assigns \\ %{}, do: yield),
do: Phoenix.View.render(module, template, put_in(assigns[:yield], yield))

Why did I not think of that, this is much a simpler solution than what I imagined. Thanks all!
