module Helpers
# 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
# Returns the URL for the set of +options+ provided. This takes the same options
# as url_for. For a list, see the url_for documentation in link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000079.

# Creates a link tag of the given +name+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. See the valid options in
# link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000021. 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 have a special feature 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.

# Example:
# link_to "Delete this page", { :action => "destroy", :id => @page.id }, :confirm => "Are you sure?"
