pass blocks to widgets

[leafo]

Erector lets you do something like this:

widget Views::Thing, hello: "world" do
  div "hello world"
end

# or

widget Views::Thing.new(hello: "world") {
  div "hello world"
}

# thing.rb

class Views::Thing < Erector::Widget
  needs :hello
  def content
    div class: "hi" do
      call_block
    end
  end
end

Would be nice if fortitude supported it

Done! In master; I'll cut a new version soon. I also merged in ageweke/lazy_needs, so you shouldn't have to switch branches at all.

Thanks

btw, If you're trying for erector compatibility then erector lets you call call_block when no block has been passed to widget and it's a no-op instead of an error

Yeah — I’m trying to make Fortitude’s block handling work more like what people are used to in Ruby, where trying to yield if no block is passed actually gives an error. If this causes a lot of pain for you there at Scribd, let me know, and I’m sure we can find an alternative…

Nah, no big deal. I just override what I need to to make it work how I expect 👍
