+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.
