module Helpers
# Prototype[http://www.prototypejs.org/] is a JavaScript library that provides
# DOM[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model] manipulation,
# Ajax[http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php]
# functionality, and more traditional object-oriented facilities for JavaScript.
# This module provides a set of helpers to make it more convenient to call
# functions from Prototype using Rails, including functionality to call remote
# Rails methods (that is, making a background request to a Rails action) using Ajax.
# This means that you can call actions in your controllers without
# reloading the page, but still update certain parts of it using
# injections into the DOM. A common use case is having a form that adds
# a new element to a list without reloading the page or updating a shopping
# cart total when a new item is added.
#
# == Usage
# To be able to use these helpers, you must first include the Prototype
# JavaScript framework in your pages.
#
# javascript_include_tag 'prototype'
#
# (See the documentation for
# ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper for more information on including
# this and other JavaScript files in your Rails templates.)
#
# Now you're ready to call a remote action either through a link...
#
# link_to_remote "Add to cart",
# :url => { :action => "add", :id => product.id },
# :update => { :success => "cart", :failure => "error" }
#
# ...through a form...
#
# <% form_remote_tag :url => '/shipping' do -%>
# <div><%= submit_tag 'Recalculate Shipping' %></div>
# <% end -%>
#
# ...periodically...
#
# periodically_call_remote(:url => 'update', :frequency => '5', :update => 'ticker')
#
# ...or through an observer (i.e., a form or field that is observed and calls a remote
# action when changed).
#
# <%= observe_field(:searchbox,
# :url => { :action => :live_search }),
# :frequency => 0.5,
# :update => :hits,
# :with => 'query'
# %>
#
# As you can see, there are numerous ways to use Prototype's Ajax functions (and actually more than
# are listed here); check out the documentation for each method to find out more about its usage and options.
#
# === Common Options
# See link_to_remote for documentation of options common to all Ajax
# helpers; any of the options specified by link_to_remote can be used
# by the other helpers.
#
# == Designing your Rails actions for Ajax
# When building your action handlers (that is, the Rails actions that receive your background requests), it's
# important to remember a few things. First, whatever your action would normally return to the browser, it will
# return to the Ajax call. As such, you typically don't want to render with a layout. This call will cause
# the layout to be transmitted back to your page, and, if you have a full HTML/CSS, will likely mess a lot of things up.
# You can turn the layout off on particular actions by doing the following:
#
# class SiteController < ActionController::Base
# layout "standard", :except => [:ajax_method, :more_ajax, :another_ajax]
# end
#
# Optionally, you could do this in the method you wish to lack a layout:
#
# render :layout => false
#
# You can tell the type of request from within your action using the <tt>request.xhr?</tt> (XmlHttpRequest, the
# method that Ajax uses to make background requests) method.
# def name
# # Is this an XmlHttpRequest request?
# if (request.xhr?)
# render :text => @name.to_s
# else
# # No? Then render an action.
# render :action => 'view_attribute', :attr => @name
# end
# end
#
# The else clause can be left off and the current action will render with full layout and template. An extension
# to this solution was posted to Ryan Heneise's blog at ArtOfMission["http://www.artofmission.com/"].
#
# layout proc{ |c| c.request.xhr? ? false : "application" }
#
# Dropping this in your ApplicationController turns the layout off for every request that is an "xhr" request.
#
# If you are just returning a little data or don't want to build a template for your output, you may opt to simply
# render text output, like this:
#
# render :text => 'Return this from my method!'
#
# Since whatever the method returns is injected into the DOM, this will simply inject some text (or HTML, if you
# tell it to). This is usually how small updates, such updating a cart total or a file count, are handled.
#
# == Updating multiple elements
# See JavaScriptGenerator for information on updating multiple elements
# on the page in an Ajax response.

# Returns a link to a remote action defined by <tt>options[:url]</tt>
# (using the url_for format) that's called in the background using
# XMLHttpRequest. The result of that request can then be inserted into a
# DOM object whose id can be specified with <tt>options[:update]</tt>.
# Usually, the result would be a partial prepared by the controller with
# render :partial.
#
# Examples:
# # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater('posts', '/blog/destroy/3', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true});
# # return false;">Delete this post</a>
# link_to_remote "Delete this post", :update => "posts",
# :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id }
#
# # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater('emails', '/mail/list_emails', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true});
# # return false;"><img alt="Refresh" src="/images/refresh.png?" /></a>
# link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails",
# :url => { :action => "list_emails" })
#
# You can override the generated HTML options by specifying a hash in
# <tt>options[:html]</tt>.
#
# link_to_remote "Delete this post", :update => "posts",
# :url => post_url(@post), :method => :delete,
# :html => { :class => "destructive" }
#
# You can also specify a hash for <tt>options[:update]</tt> to allow for
# easy redirection of output to an other DOM element if a server-side
# error occurs:
#
# Example:
# # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater({success:'posts',failure:'error'}, '/blog/destroy/5',
# # {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true}); return false;">Delete this post</a>
# link_to_remote "Delete this post",
# :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id },
# :update => { :success => "posts", :failure => "error" }
#
# Optionally, you can use the <tt>options[:position]</tt> parameter to
# influence how the target DOM element is updated. It must be one of
# <tt>:before</tt>, <tt>:top</tt>, <tt>:bottom</tt>, or <tt>:after</tt>.
#
# The method used is by default POST. You can also specify GET or you
# can simulate PUT or DELETE over POST. All specified with <tt>options[:method]</tt>
#
# Example:
# # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/person/4', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, method:'delete'});
# # return false;">Destroy</a>
# link_to_remote "Destroy", :url => person_url(:id => person), :method => :delete
#
# By default, these remote requests are processed asynchronous during
# which various JavaScript callbacks can be triggered (for progress
# indicators and the likes). All callbacks get access to the
# <tt>request</tt> object, which holds the underlying XMLHttpRequest.
#
# To access the server response, use <tt>request.responseText</tt>, to
# find out the HTTP status, use <tt>request.status</tt>.
#
# Example:
# # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/words/undo?n=33', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,
# # onComplete:function(request){undoRequestCompleted(request)}}); return false;">hello</a>
# word = 'hello'
# link_to_remote word,
# :url => { :action => "undo", :n => word_counter },
# :complete => "undoRequestCompleted(request)"
#
# The callbacks that may be specified are (in order):
#
# <tt>:loading</tt>:: Called when the remote document is being
# loaded with data by the browser.
# <tt>:loaded</tt>:: Called when the browser has finished loading
# the remote document.
# <tt>:interactive</tt>:: Called when the user can interact with the
# remote document, even though it has not
# finished loading.
# <tt>:success</tt>:: Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed,
# and the HTTP status code is in the 2XX range.
# <tt>:failure</tt>:: Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed,
# and the HTTP status code is not in the 2XX
# range.
# <tt>:complete</tt>:: Called when the XMLHttpRequest is complete
# (fires after success/failure if they are
# present).
#
# You can further refine <tt>:success</tt> and <tt>:failure</tt> by
# adding additional callbacks for specific status codes.
#
# Example:
# # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/testing/action', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,
# # on404:function(request){alert('Not found...? Wrong URL...?')},
# # onFailure:function(request){alert('HTTP Error ' + request.status + '!')}}); return false;">hello</a>
# link_to_remote word,
# :url => { :action => "action" },
# 404 => "alert('Not found...? Wrong URL...?')",
# :failure => "alert('HTTP Error ' + request.status + '!')"
#
# A status code callback overrides the success/failure handlers if
# present.
#
# If you for some reason or another need synchronous processing (that'll
# block the browser while the request is happening), you can specify
# <tt>options[:type] = :synchronous</tt>.
#
# You can customize further browser side call logic by passing in
# JavaScript code snippets via some optional parameters. In their order
# of use these are:
#
# <tt>:confirm</tt>:: Adds confirmation dialog.
# <tt>:condition</tt>:: Perform remote request conditionally
# by this expression. Use this to
# describe browser-side conditions when
# request should not be initiated.
# <tt>:before</tt>:: Called before request is initiated.
# <tt>:after</tt>:: Called immediately after request was
# initiated and before <tt>:loading</tt>.
# <tt>:submit</tt>:: Specifies the DOM element ID that's used
# as the parent of the form elements. By
# default this is the current form, but
# it could just as well be the ID of a
# table row or any other DOM element.
# <tt>:with</tt>:: A JavaScript expression specifying
# the parameters for the XMLHttpRequest.
# Any expressions should return a valid
# URL query string.
#
# Example:
#
# :with => "'name=' + $('name').value"
#
# You can generate a link that uses AJAX in the general case, while
# degrading gracefully to plain link behavior in the absence of
# JavaScript by setting <tt>html_options[:href]</tt> to an alternate URL.
# Note the extra curly braces around the <tt>options</tt> hash separate
# it as the second parameter from <tt>html_options</tt>, the third.
#
# Example:
# link_to_remote "Delete this post",
# { :update => "posts", :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id } },
# :href => url_for(:action => "destroy", :id => post.id)
def link_to_remote(name, options = {}, html_options = nil)
link_to_function(name, remote_function(options), html_options || options.delete(:html))
end
# Creates a button with an onclick event which calls a remote action
# via XMLHttpRequest
# The options for specifying the target with :url
# and defining callbacks is the same as link_to_remote.
def button_to_remote(name, options = {}, html_options = {})
button_to_function(name, remote_function(options), html_options)
end
# Periodically calls the specified url (<tt>options[:url]</tt>) every
# <tt>options[:frequency]</tt> seconds (default is 10). Usually used to
# update a specified div (<tt>options[:update]</tt>) with the results
# of the remote call. The options for specifying the target with <tt>:url</tt>
# and defining callbacks is the same as link_to_remote.
# Examples:
# # Call get_averages and put its results in 'avg' every 10 seconds
# # Generates:
# # new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Updater('avg', '/grades/get_averages',
# # {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 10)
# periodically_call_remote(:url => { :action => 'get_averages' }, :update => 'avg')
#
# # Call invoice every 10 seconds with the id of the customer
# # If it succeeds, update the invoice DIV; if it fails, update the error DIV
# # Generates:
# # new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Updater({success:'invoice',failure:'error'},
# # '/testing/invoice/16', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 10)
# periodically_call_remote(:url => { :action => 'invoice', :id => customer.id },
# :update => { :success => "invoice", :failure => "error" }
#
# # Call update every 20 seconds and update the new_block DIV
# # Generates:
# # new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Updater('news_block', 'update', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 20)
# periodically_call_remote(:url => 'update', :frequency => '20', :update => 'news_block')
#
def periodically_call_remote(options = {})
frequency = options[:frequency] || 10 # every ten seconds by default
code = "new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {#{remote_function(options)}}, #{frequency})"
javascript_tag(code)
end
# Returns a form tag that will submit using XMLHttpRequest in the
# background instead of the regular reloading POST arrangement. Even
# though it's using JavaScript to serialize the form elements, the form
# submission will work just like a regular submission as viewed by the
# receiving side (all elements available in <tt>params</tt>). The options for
# specifying the target with <tt>:url</tt> and defining callbacks is the same as
# +link_to_remote+.
#
# A "fall-through" target for browsers that doesn't do JavaScript can be
# specified with the <tt>:action</tt>/<tt>:method</tt> options on <tt>:html</tt>.
#
# Example:
# # Generates:
# # <form action="/some/place" method="post" onsubmit="new Ajax.Request('',
# # {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); return false;">
# form_remote_tag :html => { :action =>
# url_for(:controller => "some", :action => "place") }
#
# The Hash passed to the <tt>:html</tt> key is equivalent to the options (2nd)
# argument in the FormTagHelper.form_tag method.
#
# By default the fall-through action is the same as the one specified in
# the <tt>:url</tt> (and the default method is <tt>:post</tt>).
#
# form_remote_tag also takes a block, like form_tag:
# # Generates:
# # <form action="/" method="post" onsubmit="new Ajax.Request('/',
# # {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)});
# # return false;"> <div><input name="commit" type="submit" value="Save" /></div>
# # </form>
# <% form_remote_tag :url => '/posts' do -%>
# <div><%= submit_tag 'Save' %></div>
# <% end -%>

# Creates a form that will submit using XMLHttpRequest in the background
# instead of the regular reloading POST arrangement and a scope around a

# Observes the field with the DOM ID specified by +field_id+ and calls a
# callback when its contents have changed. The default callback is an
# Ajax call. By default the value of the observed field is sent as a
# parameter with the Ajax call.
#
# Example:
# # Generates: new Form.Element.Observer('suggest', 0.25, function(element, value) {new Ajax.Updater('suggest',
# # '/testing/find_suggestion', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:'q=' + value})})

# :frequency => 0.25,
# :update => :suggest,
# :with => 'q'
# %>
#
# Required +options+ are either of:
# <tt>:url</tt>:: +url_for+-style options for the action to call
# when the field has changed.
# <tt>:function</tt>:: Instead of making a remote call to a URL, you
# can specify javascript code to be called instead.
# Note that the value of this option is used as the
# *body* of the javascript function, a function definition
# with parameters named element and value will be generated for you
# for example:
# observe_field("glass", :frequency => 1, :function => "alert('Element changed')")
# will generate:
# new Form.Element.Observer('glass', 1, function(element, value) {alert('Element changed')})
# The element parameter is the DOM element being observed, and the value is its value at the
# time the observer is triggered.
#
# Additional options are:
# <tt>:frequency</tt>:: The frequency (in seconds) at which changes to
# this field will be detected. Not setting this
# option at all or to a value equal to or less than
# zero will use event based observation instead of
# time based observation.
# <tt>:update</tt>:: Specifies the DOM ID of the element whose
# innerHTML should be updated with the
# XMLHttpRequest response text.
# <tt>:with</tt>:: A JavaScript expression specifying the parameters
# for the XMLHttpRequest. The default is to send the
# key and value of the observed field. Any custom
# expressions should return a valid URL query string.
# The value of the field is stored in the JavaScript
# variable +value+.
#
# Examples
#
# :with => "'my_custom_key=' + value"
# :with => "'person[name]=' + prompt('New name')"
# :with => "Form.Element.serialize('other-field')"
#
# Finally
# :with => 'name'
# is shorthand for
# :with => "'name=' + value"
# This essentially just changes the key of the parameter.
#
# Additionally, you may specify any of the options documented in the
# <em>Common options</em> section at the top of this document.
#
# Example:
#
# # Sends params: {:title => 'Title of the book'} when the book_title input
# # field is changed.
# observe_field 'book_title',
# :url => 'http://example.com/books/edit/1',

#
# Create new instances with PrototypeHelper#update_page or with
# ActionController::Base#render, then call +insert_html+, +replace_html+,
# +remove+, +show+, +hide+, +visual_effect+, or any other of the built-in
# methods on the yielded generator in any order you like to modify the
# content and appearance of the current page.
#
# Example:

# # new Effect.Highlight("list");
# # ["status-indicator", "cancel-link"].each(Element.hide);

#
# Helper methods can be used in conjunction with JavaScriptGenerator.
# When a helper method is called inside an update block on the +page+

# Example:
#
# module ApplicationHelper
# def update_time

#
# Calls to JavaScriptGenerator not matching a helper method below
# generate a proxy to the JavaScript Class named by the method called.
#
# Examples:
#
# # Generates:
# # Foo.init();
# update_page do |page|
# page.foo.init

#
# # Generates:
