I don’t understand your question – What do you mean by “Rails view”?

Travis W.

“Programming in Java is like dealing with your mom –  
it’s kind, forgiving, and gently chastising.  
Programming in C++ is like dealing with a disgruntled  
girlfriend – it’s cold, unforgiving, and doesn’t tell  
you what you’ve done wrong.”

Technically nothing prevents you from using a class variable in rails  
view and i guess your class variable should be available in view as  
well if you declare it with

class FoobarController \< ApplicationController  
cattr\_accessor :bar\_baz  
end
