How to make .liquid file work in Rails 3 - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am using Rails 3.0.9 . I am trying to use liquid and I am getting an error.
Here is my Gemfile
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.0.9'
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'liquid'
Here is an initializer
class LiquidView
PROTECTED_ASSIGNS = %w( template_root response _session template_class action_name request_origin session template
_response url _request _cookies variables_added _flash params _headers request cookies
ignore_missing_templates flash _params logger before_filter_chain_aborted headers )
PROTECTED_INSTANCE_VARIABLES = %w( #_request #controller #_first_render #_memoized__pick_template #view_paths
#helpers #assigns_added #template #_render_stack #template_format #assigns )
def self.call(template)
"LiquidView.new(self).render(template, local_assigns)"
end
def initialize(view)
#view = view
end
def render(template, local_assigns = nil)
#view.controller.headers["Content-Type"] ||= 'text/html; charset=utf-8'
# Rails 2.2 Template has source, but not locals
if template.respond_to?(:source) && !template.respond_to?(:locals)
assigns = (#view.instance_variables - PROTECTED_INSTANCE_VARIABLES).inject({}) do |hash, ivar|
hash[ivar[1..-1]] = #view.instance_variable_get(ivar)
hash
end
else
assigns = #view.assigns.reject{ |k,v| PROTECTED_ASSIGNS.include?(k) }
end
source = template.respond_to?(:source) ? template.source : template
local_assigns = (template.respond_to?(:locals) ? template.locals : local_assigns) || {}
if content_for_layout = #view.instance_variable_get("#content_for_layout")
assigns['content_for_layout'] = content_for_layout
end
assigns.merge!(local_assigns.stringify_keys)
liquid = Liquid::Template.parse(source)
liquid.render(assigns, :filters => [#view.controller.master_helper_module], :registers => {:action_view => #view, :controller => #view.controller})
end
def compilable?
false
end
end
::ActionView::Template.register_template_handler(:liquid, LiquidView)
Here is app/views/users/index.html.liquid
<h1>Listing users</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
</tr>
{% for user in #users %}
<tr> <td> {{ user.name }} </td> </tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
And here is controller
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
#users = User.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
end
end
end
I am getting this error.
undefined method `template' for #<UsersController:0x00000100979b80>
Extracted source (around line #1):
1: <h1>Listing users</h1>
2:
3: <table>
4: <tr>

I think this should help you, just change initializer with code below
class LiquidView
def self.call(template)
"LiquidView.new(self).render(#{template.source.inspect}, local_assigns)"
end
def initialize(view)
#view = view
end
def render(template, local_assigns = {})
#view.controller.headers["Content-Type"] ||= 'text/html; charset=utf-8'
assigns = #view.assigns
if #view.content_for?(:layout)
assigns["content_for_layout"] = #view.content_for(:layout)
end
assigns.merge!(local_assigns.stringify_keys)
controller = #view.controller
filters = if controller.respond_to?(:liquid_filters, true)
controller.send(:liquid_filters)
elsif controller.respond_to?(:master_helper_module)
[controller.master_helper_module]
else
[controller._helpers]
end
liquid = Liquid::Template.parse(template)
liquid.render(assigns, :filters => filters, :registers => {:action_view => #view, :controller => #view.controller})
end
def compilable?
false
end
end
ActionView::Template.register_template_handler :liquid, LiquidView
just don't forget to put liquid_methods [,:column_name] to your model
