-# FIXME: helper { ... } is broken on Ruby 1.9
-module ActionController #:nodoc:
- module Helpers #:nodoc:
- extend ActiveSupport::Concern
-
- included do
- # Initialize the base module to aggregate its helpers.
- class_inheritable_accessor :master_helper_module
- self.master_helper_module = Module.new
-
- # Set the default directory for helpers
- class_inheritable_accessor :helpers_dir

- # The Rails framework provides a large number of helpers for working with +assets+, +dates+, +forms+,
- # +numbers+ and Active Record objects, to name a few. These helpers are available to all templates
- # by default.
- #
- # In addition to using the standard template helpers provided in the Rails framework, creating custom helpers to
- # extract complicated logic or reusable functionality is strongly encouraged. By default, the controller will
- # include a helper whose name matches that of the controller, e.g., <tt>MyController</tt> will automatically
- # include <tt>MyHelper</tt>.
- #
- # Additional helpers can be specified using the +helper+ class method in <tt>ActionController::Base</tt> or any
- # controller which inherits from it.
- #
- # ==== Examples
- # The +to_s+ method from the Time class can be wrapped in a helper method to display a custom message if
- # the Time object is blank:
- #
- # module FormattedTimeHelper
- # def format_time(time, format=:long, blank_message="&nbsp;")
- # time.blank? ? blank_message : time.to_s(format)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # FormattedTimeHelper can now be included in a controller, using the +helper+ class method:
- #
- # class EventsController < ActionController::Base
- # helper FormattedTimeHelper
- # def index
- # @events = Event.find(:all)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # Then, in any view rendered by <tt>EventController</tt>, the <tt>format_time</tt> method can be called:
- #
- # <% @events.each do |event| -%>
- # <p>
- # <% format_time(event.time, :short, "N/A") %> | <%= event.name %>
- # </p>
- # <% end -%>
- #
- # Finally, assuming we have two event instances, one which has a time and one which does not,
- # the output might look like this:

- module ClassMethods
- # Makes all the (instance) methods in the helper module available to templates rendered through this controller.
- # See ActionView::Helpers (link:classes/ActionView/Helpers.html) for more about making your own helper modules
- # available to the templates.
- def add_template_helper(helper_module) #:nodoc:
- master_helper_module.module_eval { include helper_module }
- end
-
- # The +helper+ class method can take a series of helper module names, a block, or both.
- #
- # * <tt>*args</tt>: One or more modules, strings or symbols, or the special symbol <tt>:all</tt>.
- # * <tt>&block</tt>: A block defining helper methods.
- #
- # ==== Examples
- # When the argument is a string or symbol, the method will provide the "_helper" suffix, require the file
- # and include the module in the template class. The second form illustrates how to include custom helpers
- # when working with namespaced controllers, or other cases where the file containing the helper definition is not
- # in one of Rails' standard load paths:
- # helper :foo # => requires 'foo_helper' and includes FooHelper
- # helper 'resources/foo' # => requires 'resources/foo_helper' and includes Resources::FooHelper
- #
- # When the argument is a module it will be included directly in the template class.
- # helper FooHelper # => includes FooHelper
- #
- # When the argument is the symbol <tt>:all</tt>, the controller will include all helpers beneath
- # <tt>ActionController::Base.helpers_dir</tt> (defaults to <tt>app/helpers/**/*.rb</tt> under RAILS_ROOT).
- # helper :all
- #
- # Additionally, the +helper+ class method can receive and evaluate a block, making the methods defined available
- # to the template.
- # # One line
- # helper { def hello() "Hello, world!" end }
- # # Multi-line
- # helper do
- # def foo(bar)
- # "#{bar} is the very best"
- # end
- # end
- #
- # Finally, all the above styles can be mixed together, and the +helper+ method can be invoked with a mix of
- # +symbols+, +strings+, +modules+ and blocks.
- # helper(:three, BlindHelper) { def mice() 'mice' end }
