Simple cleaner view for the announcement gem.

gistfile1.txt

#### Your view (blah.html.erb) ####

<%= render partial: 'announcement', collection: Article.newest %>

#### _announcement.html.erb ####

<%= announce announcement, { format: 'bootstrap' } %>

#### Explanation ####

If Article.newest returns an array of announcements (one or more) it will automatically render the partial 'announcement' a number of times. So if Article.newest returns [<Article @id=1>, <Article @id=2>], the announcement.html.erb file will be rendered twice. If Article.newest returns [], then it'll render nothing.

You'll obviously need to check for typos. But it removes the need for you to do

<% if Article.newest.present? %>

<% end %> and removes all conditions logic from your views.
