I am rendering a partial like this:
$("#box_container").html("<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => 'contacts/contact_tile', :collection => @contacts) %>") Problem is that my partial is expecting the variable 'contact'.
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined local variable or method `contact' I simply want to tell the partial to expect a variable contact. Should iterate through @contacts as contact. How do I do that?

Rendering a Partial View You can render the partial view in the parent view using the HTML helper methods: @html. Partial() , @html. RenderPartial() , and @html.
local_assigns is a Rails view helper method that you can check whether this partial has been provided with local variables or not. Here you render a partial with some values, the headline and person will become accessible with predefined value.
By default, if you use the :plain option, the text is rendered without using the current layout. If you want Rails to put the text into the current layout, you need to add the layout: true option and use the . text. erb extension for the layout file.
Found this is also helpful from the docs. You aren't limited to having the variable named after the partial:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html
To use a custom local variable name within the partial, specify the :as option in the call to the partial:
<%= render :partial => "product", :collection => @products, :as => :item %> With this change, you can access an instance of the @products collection as the item local variable within the partial."
