module ActionView
  # Layouts reverse the common pattern of including shared headers and footers in many templates to isolate changes in
  # repeated setups. The inclusion pattern has pages that look like this:
  #
  #   <%= render "shared/header" %>
  #   Hello World
  #   <%= render "shared/footer" %>
  #
  # This approach is a decent way of keeping common structures isolated from the changing content, but it's verbose
  # and if you ever want to change the structure of these two includes, you'll have to change all the templates.
  #
  # With layouts, you can flip it around and have the common structure know where to insert changing content. This means
  # that the header and footer are only mentioned in one place, like this:
  #
  #   // The header part of this layout
  #   <%= yield %>
  #   // The footer part of this layout
  #
  # And then you have content pages that look like this:
  #
  #    hello world
  #
  # At rendering time, the content page is computed and then inserted in the layout, like this:
  #
  #   // The header part of this layout
  #   hello world
  #   // The footer part of this layout
  #
  # == Accessing shared variables
  #
  # Layouts have access to variables specified in the content pages and vice versa. This allows you to have layouts with
  # references that won't materialize before rendering time:
  #
  #   <h1><%= @page_title %></h1>
  #   <%= yield %>
  #
  # ...and content pages that fulfill these references _at_ rendering time:
  #
  #    <% @page_title = "Welcome" %>
  #    Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
  #
  # The result after rendering is:
  #
  #   <h1>Welcome</h1>
  #   Off-world colonies offers you a chance to start a new life
  #
  # == Layout assignment
  #
  # You can either specify a layout declaratively (using the #layout class method) or give
  # it the same name as your controller, and place it in <tt>app/views/layouts</tt>.
  # If a subclass does not have a layout specified, it inherits its layout using normal Ruby inheritance.
  #
  # For instance, if you have PostsController and a template named <tt>app/views/layouts/posts.html.erb</tt>,
  # that template will be used for all actions in PostsController and controllers inheriting
  # from PostsController.
  #
  # If you use a module, for instance Weblog::PostsController, you will need a template named
  # <tt>app/views/layouts/weblog/posts.html.erb</tt>.
  #
  # Since all your controllers inherit from ApplicationController, they will use
  # <tt>app/views/layouts/application.html.erb</tt> if no other layout is specified
  # or provided.
  #
  # == Inheritance Examples
  #
  #   class BankController < ActionController::Base
  #     # bank.html.erb exists
  #
  #   class ExchangeController < BankController
  #     # exchange.html.erb exists
  #
  #   class CurrencyController < BankController
  #
  #   class InformationController < BankController
  #     layout "information"
  #
  #   class TellerController < InformationController
  #     # teller.html.erb exists
  #
  #   class EmployeeController < InformationController
  #     # employee.html.erb exists
  #     layout nil
  #
  #   class VaultController < BankController
  #     layout :access_level_layout
  #
  #   class TillController < BankController
  #     layout false
  #
  # In these examples, we have three implicit lookup scenarios:
  # * The +BankController+ uses the "bank" layout.
  # * The +ExchangeController+ uses the "exchange" layout.
  # * The +CurrencyController+ inherits the layout from BankController.
  #
  # However, when a layout is explicitly set, the explicitly set layout wins:
  # * The +InformationController+ uses the "information" layout, explicitly set.
  # * The +TellerController+ also uses the "information" layout, because the parent explicitly set it.
  # * The +EmployeeController+ uses the "employee" layout, because it set the layout to +nil+, resetting the parent configuration.
  # * The +VaultController+ chooses a layout dynamically by calling the <tt>access_level_layout</tt> method.
  # * The +TillController+ does not use a layout at all.
  #
  # == Types of layouts
  #
  # Layouts are basically just regular templates, but the name of this template needs not be specified statically. Sometimes
  # you want to alternate layouts depending on runtime information, such as whether someone is logged in or not. This can
  # be done either by specifying a method reference as a symbol or using an inline method (as a proc).
  #
  # The method reference is the preferred approach to variable layouts and is used like this:
  #
  #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  #     layout :writers_and_readers
  #
  #     def index
  #       # fetching posts
  #     end
  #
  #     private
  #       def writers_and_readers
  #         logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout"
  #       end
  #   end
  #
  # Now when a new request for the index action is processed, the layout will vary depending on whether the person accessing
  # is logged in or not.
  #
  # If you want to use an inline method, such as a proc, do something like this:
  #
  #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  #     layout proc { |controller| controller.logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" }
  #   end
  #
  # If an argument isn't given to the proc, it's evaluated in the context of
  # the current controller anyway.
  #
  #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  #     layout proc { logged_in? ? "writer_layout" : "reader_layout" }
  #   end
  #
  # Of course, the most common way of specifying a layout is still just as a plain template name:
  #
  #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  #     layout "weblog_standard"
  #   end
  #
  # The template will be looked always in <tt>app/views/layouts/</tt> folder. But you can point
  # <tt>layouts</tt> folder direct also. <tt>layout "layouts/demo"</tt> is the same as <tt>layout "demo"</tt>.
  #
  # Setting the layout to +nil+ forces it to be looked up in the filesystem and fallbacks to the parent behavior if none exists.
  # Setting it to +nil+ is useful to re-enable template lookup overriding a previous configuration set in the parent:
  #
  #     class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  #       layout "application"
  #     end
  #
  #     class PostsController < ApplicationController
  #       # Will use "application" layout
  #     end
  #
  #     class CommentsController < ApplicationController
  #       # Will search for "comments" layout and fallback "application" layout
  #       layout nil
  #     end
  #
  # == Conditional layouts
  #
  # If you have a layout that by default is applied to all the actions of a controller, you still have the option of rendering
  # a given action or set of actions without a layout, or restricting a layout to only a single action or a set of actions. The
  # <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> options can be passed to the layout call. For example:
  #
  #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  #     layout "weblog_standard", except: :rss
  #
  #     # ...
  #
  #   end
  #
  # This will assign "weblog_standard" as the WeblogController's layout for all actions except for the +rss+ action, which will
  # be rendered directly, without wrapping a layout around the rendered view.
  #
  # Both the <tt>:only</tt> and <tt>:except</tt> condition can accept an arbitrary number of method references, so
  # #<tt>except: [ :rss, :text_only ]</tt> is valid, as is <tt>except: :rss</tt>.
  #
  # == Using a different layout in the action render call
  #
  # If most of your actions use the same layout, it makes perfect sense to define a controller-wide layout as described above.
  # Sometimes you'll have exceptions where one action wants to use a different layout than the rest of the controller.
  # You can do this by passing a <tt>:layout</tt> option to the <tt>render</tt> call. For example:
  #
  #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
  #     layout "weblog_standard"
  #
  #     def help
  #       render action: "help", layout: "help"
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # This will override the controller-wide "weblog_standard" layout, and will render the help action with the "help" layout instead.
