# The Active Record Helper makes it easier to create forms for records kept in instance variables. The most far-reaching is the form
# method that creates a complete form for all the basic content types of the record (not associations or aggregations, though). This
# is a great of making the record quickly available for editing, but likely to prove lacklusters for a complicated real-world form.
# In that case, it's better to use the input method and the specialized form methods in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html
module ActiveRecordHelper
# Returns a default input tag for the type of object returned by the method. Example
# (title is a VARCHAR column and holds "Hello World"):
# input("post", "title") =>
# <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
def input(record_name, method)
InstanceTag.new(record_name, method, self).to_tag
end
# Returns an entire form with input tags and everything for a specified Active Record object. Example
# (post is a new record that has a title using VARCHAR and a body using TEXT):
# form("post") =>
# <form action='/post/create' method='post'>
# <p>
# <label for="post_title">Title</label><br />
# <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" />
# </p>
# <p>
# <label for="post_body">Body</label><br />
# <textarea cols="40" id="post_body" name="post[body]" rows="20" wrap="virtual">
# Back to the hill and over it again!
# </textarea>
# </p>
# <input type='submit' value='Create' />
# </form>
#
# It's possible to specialize the form builder by using a different action name and by supplying another
# block renderer. Example (entry is a new record that has a message attribute using VARCHAR):
#
# form("entry", :action => "sign", :input_block =>
# Proc.new { |record, column| "#{column.human_name}: #{input(record, column.name)}<br />" }) =>
#
# <form action='/post/sign' method='post'>
# Message:
# <input id="post_title" name="post[title]" size="30" type="text" value="Hello World" /><br />
# <input type='submit' value='Sign' />
# </form>

# Returns a string containing the error message attached to the +method+ on the +object+, if one exists.
# This error message is wrapped in a DIV tag, which can be specialized to include both a +prepend_text+ and +append_text+
# to properly introduce the error and a +css_class+ to style it accordingly. Examples (post has an error message
# "can't be empty" on the title attribute):
#
# <%= error_message_on "post", "title" %> =>
# <div class="formError">can't be empty</div>
#
