# Provides a set of methods for making easy links and getting urls that depend on the controller and action. This means that
# you can use the same format for links in the views that you do in the controller. The different methods are even named
# synchronously, so link_to uses that same url as is generated by url_for, which again is the same url used for
# redirection in redirect_to.
module UrlHelper
include JavaScriptHelper
# Returns the URL for the set of +options+ provided. This takes the same options
# as url_for. For a list, see the documentation for ActionController::Base#url_for.
# Note that it'll set :only_path => true so you'll get /controller/action instead of the
# http://example.com/controller/action part (makes it harder to parse httpd log files)
#
# When called from a view, url_for returns an HTML escaped url. If you need an unescaped
# url, pass :escape => false to url_for.
#
def url_for(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference)
if options.kind_of? Hash
options = { :only_path => true }.update(options.symbolize_keys)
escape = options.key?(:escape) ? options.delete(:escape) : true

# Creates a link tag of the given +name+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. See the valid options in
# the documentation for ActionController::Base#url_for. It's also possible to pass a string instead of an options hash to
# get a link tag that just points without consideration. If nil is passed as a name, the link itself will become the name.
#
# The html_options has three special features. One for creating javascript confirm alerts where if you pass :confirm => 'Are you sure?',
# the link will be guarded with a JS popup asking that question. If the user accepts, the link is processed, otherwise not.
#
# Another for creating a popup window, which is done by either passing :popup with true or the options of the window in
# Javascript form.
#
# And a third for making the link do a non-GET request through a dynamically added form element that is instantly submitted.
# Note that if the user has turned off Javascript, the request will fall back on the GET. So its
# your responsibility to determine what the action should be once it arrives at the controller. The form is turned on by
# passing :method with the option of either :post, :delete, or :put as the value. Usually only :post or :delete will make sense, though.
# Note, it's not possible to use method request and popup targets at the same time (an exception will be thrown).
#
# Examples:
# link_to "Delete this page", { :action => "destroy", :id => @page.id }, :confirm => "Are you sure?"
# link_to "Help", { :action => "help" }, :popup => true
# link_to "Busy loop", { :action => "busy" }, :popup => ['new_window', 'height=300,width=600']
# link_to "Destroy account", { :action => "destroy" }, :confirm => "Are you sure?", :method => :delete

# Generates a form containing a sole button that submits to the
# URL given by _options_. Use this method instead of +link_to+
# for actions that do not have the safe HTTP GET semantics
# implied by using a hypertext link.
#
# The parameters are the same as for +link_to+. Any _html_options_
# that you pass will be applied to the inner +input+ element.
# In particular, pass
#
# :disabled => true/false
#
# as part of _html_options_ to control whether the button is
# disabled. The generated form element is given the class
# 'button-to', to which you can attach CSS styles for display
# purposes.
#
# Example 1:
#
# # inside of controller for "feeds"
# button_to "Edit", :action => 'edit', :id => 3
#
# Generates the following HTML (sans formatting):
#
# <form method="post" action="/feeds/edit/3" class="button-to">
# <div><input value="Edit" type="submit" /></div>
# </form>
#
# Example 2:
#
# button_to "Destroy", { :action => 'destroy', :id => 3 },
# :confirm => "Are you sure?"
#
# Generates the following HTML (sans formatting):
#
# <form method="post" action="/feeds/destroy/3" class="button-to">
# <div><input onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?');"
# value="Destroy" type="submit" />
# </div>
# </form>
#
# *NOTE*: This method generates HTML code that represents a form.
# Forms are "block" content, which means that you should not try to
# insert them into your HTML where only inline content is expected.
# For example, you can legally insert a form inside of a +div+ or
# +td+ element or in between +p+ elements, but not in the middle of
# a run of text, nor can you place a form within another form.
# (Bottom line: Always validate your HTML before going public.)
