instance method `concat`

Ruby on Rails 7.0.10

Since v2.2.3

Available in: v2.2.3 v2.3.18 v3.0.20 v3.1.12 v3.2.22.5 v4.0.13 v4.1.16 v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

concat(string)

The preferred method of outputting text in your views is to use the <%= "text" %> eRuby syntax. The regular puts and print methods do not operate as expected in an eRuby code block. If you absolutely must output text within a non-output code block (i.e., <% %>), you can use the concat method.

<% concat "hello" %> is equivalent to <%= "hello" %>

<%
   unless signed_in?
     concat link_to("Sign In", action: :sign_in)
   end
%>

is equivalent to

<% unless signed_in? %>
  <%= link_to "Sign In", action: :sign_in %>
<% end %>

Parameters
