I have a rails app and I want to render an action without using my application layout (which has page header / footer stuff in it).
How could I go about doing this?

By default, if you use the :text 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.
From the controller's point of view, there are three ways to create an HTTP response: Call render to create a full response to send back to the browser. Call redirect_to to send an HTTP redirect status code to the browser. Call head to create a response consisting solely of HTTP headers to send back to the browser.
There is an important difference between render and redirect_to: render will tell Rails what view it should use (with the same parameters you may have already sent) but redirect_to sends a new request to the browser.
Rails Guides describes partials this way: Partial templates - usually just called "partials" - are another device for breaking the rendering process into more manageable chunks. With a partial, you can move the code for rendering a particular piece of a response to its own file.
Here's some documentation about it: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.html
For your question:
render :layout => false or
layout false For Rails 5, in the controller, for the specific action:
def action
render layout: false
end
