EE-specific views should be placed in `ee/app/views/`, using extra
sub-directories if appropriate.
#### Using `render_if_exists`
Instead of using regular `render`, we should use `render_if_exists`, which
will not render anything if it cannot find the specific partial. We use this
so that we could put `render_if_exists` in CE, keeping code the same between
CE and EE.
Also, it should search for the EE partial first, and then CE partial, and
then if nothing found, render nothing.
This has two uses:
- CE renders nothing, and EE renders its EE partial.
- CE renders its CE partial, and EE renders its EE partial, while the view
file stays the same.
The advantages of this:
- Minimal code difference between CE and EE.
- Very clear hints about where we're extending EE views while reading CE codes.
- Whenever we want to show something different in CE, we could just add CE
partials. Same applies the other way around. If we just use
`render_if_exists`, it would be very easy to change the content in EE.

port `render_if_exists` to CE.
- If we have typos in the partial name, it would be silently ignored.
#### Using `render_ce`
For `render` and `render_if_exists`, they search for the EE partial first,
and then CE partial. They would only render a particular partial, not all
partials with the same name. We could take the advantage of this, so that
the same partial path (e.g. `shared/issuable/form/default_templates`) could
be referring to the CE partial in CE (i.e.
`app/views/shared/issuable/form/_default_templates.html.haml`), while EE
partial in EE (i.e.
`ee/app/views/shared/issuable/form/_default_templates.html.haml`). This way,
we could show different things between CE and EE.
However sometimes we would also want to reuse the CE partial in EE partial
because we might just want to add something to the existing CE partial. We
could workaround this by adding another partial with a different name, but it
would be tedious to do so.
In this case, we could as well just use `render_ce` which would ignore any EE
partials. One example would be
`ee/app/views/shared/issuable/form/_default_templates.html.haml`:
```
haml
-
if @project.feature_available?(:issuable_default_templates)
= render_ce 'shared/issuable/form/default_templates'
-
elsif show_promotions?
= render 'shared/promotions/promote_issue_templates'
```
In the above example, we can't use
`render 'shared/issuable/form/default_templates'` because it would find the
same EE partial, causing infinite recursion. Instead, we could use `render_ce`
so it ignores any partials in `ee/` and then it would render the CE partial
(i.e. `app/views/shared/issuable/form/_default_templates.html.haml`)
for the same path (i.e. `shared/issuable/form/default_templates`). This way
we could easily wrap around the CE partial.
