module ActionController
+ # Polymorphic URL helpers are methods for smart resolution to a named route call when
+ # given an ActiveRecord model instance. They are to be used in combination with
+ # ActionController::Resources.
+ #
+ # These methods are useful when you want to generate correct URL or path to a RESTful
+ # resource without having to know the exact type of the record in question.
+ #
+ # Nested resources and/or namespaces are also supported, as illustrated in the example:
+ #
+ # polymorphic_url([:admin, @article, @comment])
+ # #-> results in:
+ # admin_article_comment_url(@article, @comment)
+ #
+ # == Usage within the framework
+ #
+ # Polymorphic URL helpers are used in a number of places throughout the Rails framework:
+ #
+ # * <tt>url_for</tt>, so you can use it with a record as the argument, e.g.
+ # <tt>url_for(@article)</tt>;
+ # * ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper uses <tt>polymorphic_path</tt>, so you can write
+ # <tt>form_for(@article)</tt> without having to specify :url parameter for the form
+ # action;
+ # * <tt>redirect_to</tt> (which, in fact, uses <tt>url_for</tt>) so you can write
+ # <tt>redirect_to(post)</tt> in your controllers;
+ # * ActionView::Helpers::AtomFeedHelper, so you don't have to explicitly specify URLs
+ # for feed entries.
+ #
+ # == Prefixed polymorphic helpers
+ #
+ # In addition to <tt>polymorphic_url</tt> and <tt>polymorphic_path</tt> methods, a
+ # number of prefixed helpers are available as a shorthand to <tt>:action => "..."</tt>
+ # in options. Those are:
+ #
+ # * <tt>edit_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>edit_polymorphic_path</tt>
+ # * <tt>new_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>new_polymorphic_path</tt>
+ # * <tt>formatted_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>formatted_polymorphic_path</tt>
+ #
+ # Example usage:
+ #
+ # edit_polymorphic_path(@post)
+ # #=> /posts/1/edit
+ #
+ # formatted_polymorphic_path([@post, :pdf])
+ # #=> /posts/1.pdf
module PolymorphicRoutes
+ # Constructs a call to a named RESTful route for the given record and returns the
+ # resulting URL string. For example:
+ #
+ # polymorphic_url(post)
+ # # calls post_url(post) #=> "http://example.com/posts/1"
+ #
+ # ==== Options
+ # * <tt>:action</tt> -- specifies the action prefix for the named route:
+ # <tt>:new</tt>, <tt>:edit</tt> or <tt>:formatted</tt>. Default is no prefix.
+ # * <tt>:routing_type</tt> -- <tt>:path</tt> or <tt>:url</tt> (default <tt>:url</tt>).
+ #
+ # ==== Examples
+ #
+ # # an Article record
+ # polymorphic_url(record) #-> article_url(record)
+ #
+ # # a Comment record
+ # polymorphic_url(record) #-> comment_url(record)
+ #
+ # # it recognizes new records and maps to the collection
+ # record = Comment.new
+ # polymorphic_url(record) #-> comments_url()
+ #
