Rendering different layouts with Sinatra

My first post on this blog was Explicit layouts for Sinatra.

There was a post (Rendering different layouts with Sinatra) a few days ago on GITTR that uses a similar technique, though they use one method per specific layout – it looks a cleaner than what I did, though if you have dozens of different layouts (probably not likely) you might want to go with passing the layout name as a param as I did.

I simplified my code and it now looks like the GITTR example:

def erb_special(template, layout, options={})
  erb template, options.merge(:layout => 'layouts/special')
end

get '/special/?' do
  erb_special :'special/index'
end
