What's the best way to use/render partials?

render partial: 'partial_name'
render 'partial_name'

And with variables

render 'partial_name', locals: { var: 'something' }
render 'partial_name', var: 'something'

Sorry if it is a stupid question

Hi,
prefer the short form if possible, that means:

render 'foo'

and

render 'foo', bar: 'baz'

Whenever I want to render a partial yielding a collection or an object, I need to specify the partial: word argument:

<%= render partial: 'partial_name', collection: @collection %>

If not, an exception is raised.

@cesc1989 yes, I get the same thing as well. I think this should be explained in the guide, or at least noted somewhere
