Rails 5 way

In Rails 5 rendering outside a controller became pretty straightforward due to implemented render controller class method:

# render template
ApplicationController.render 'templates/name'
# render action
FooController.render :index
# render file
ApplicationController.render file: 'path'
# render inline
ApplicationController.render inline: 'erb content'

When calling render outside of a controller, one can assign instance variables via assigns option and use any other options available from within a controller:

ApplicationController.render(
  assigns: { article: Article.take },
  template: 'articles/show',
  layout: false
)

Request environment can be tailored either through default options

ApplicationController.render inline: '<%= users_url %>'
# => 'http://default_host.com/users'

ApplicationController.renderer.defaults[:http_host] = 'custom_host.org'
# => "custom_host.org"

ApplicationController.render inline: '<%= users_url %>'
# => 'http://custom_host.org/users'

or explicitly by initializing a new renderer

renderer = ApplicationController.renderer.new(
  http_host: 'custom_host.org',
  https: true
)
renderer.render inline: '<%= users_url %>'
# => 'https://custom_host.org/users'

Hope that helps.
