How to return HTML directly from a Rails controller?

Question

One of my model objects has a \'text\' column that contains the full HTML of a web page.

I\'d like to write a controller action that simply returns this HTML direc

Answer 1

In latest Rails (4.1.x), at least, this is much simpler than the accepted answer:

def show
  render html: '<div>html goes here</div>'.html_safe
end

Answer 2

Its works for me

def show
  @model_object = ModelObject.find(params[:id])

   respond_to do |format|
    format.html { render :inline => "<%== @model_object['html'] %>" }
  end
end

Answer 3

In your controller respond_to block, you can use:

render :text => @model_object.html_content

or:

render :inline => "<%= @model_object.html_content %>"

So, something like:

def show
  @model_object = ModelObject.find(params[:id])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html { render :text => @model_object.html_content }
  end
end
