+module ActionController
+ # In <b>routes.rb</b> one defines URL-to-controller mappings, but the reverse
+ # is also possible: an URL can be generated from one of your routing definitions.
+ # URL generation functionality is centralized in this module.
+ #
+ # See ActionController::Routing and ActionController::Resources for general
+ # information about routing and routes.rb.
+ #
+ # <b>Tip:</b> If you need to generate URLs from your models or some other place,
+ # then ActionController::UrlWriter is what you're looking for. Read on for
+ # an introduction.
+ #
+ # == URL generation from parameters
+ #
+ # As you may know, some functions - such as ActionController::Base#url_for
+ # and ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper#link_to, can generate URLs given a set
+ # of parameters. For example, you've probably had the chance to write code
+ # like this in one of your views:
+ #
+ # <%= link_to('Click here', :controller => 'users',
+ # :action => 'new', :message => 'Welcome!') %>
+ #
+ # #=> Generates a link to: /users/new?message=Welcome%21
+ #
+ # link_to, and all other functions that require URL generation functionality,
+ # actually use ActionController::UrlWriter under the hood. And in particular,
+ # they use the ActionController::UrlWriter#url_for method. One can generate
+ # the same path as the above example by using the following code:
+ #
+ # include UrlWriter
+ # url_for(:controller => 'users',
+ # :action => 'new',
+ # :message => 'Welcome!',
+ # :only_path => true)
+ # # => "/users/new?message=Welcome%21"
+ #
+ # Notice the <tt>:only_path => true</tt> part. This is because UrlWriter has no
+ # information about the website hostname that your Rails app is serving. So if you
+ # want to include the hostname as well, then you must also pass the <tt>:host</tt>
+ # argument:
+ #
+ # include UrlWriter
+ # url_for(:controller => 'users',
+ # :action => 'new',
+ # :message => 'Welcome!',
+ # :host => 'www.example.com') # Changed this.
+ # # => "http://www.example.com/users/new?message=Welcome%21"
+ #
+ # By default, all controllers and views have access to a special version of url_for,
+ # that already knows what the current hostname is. So if you use url_for in your
+ # controllers or your views, then you don't need to explicitly pass the <tt>:host</tt>
+ # argument.
+ #
+ # For convenience reasons, mailers provide a shortcut for ActionController::UrlWriter#url_for.
+ # So within mailers, you only have to type 'url_for' instead of 'ActionController::UrlWriter#url_for'
+ # in full. However, mailers don't have hostname information, and what's why you'll still
+ # have to specify the <tt>:host</tt> argument when generating URLs in mailers.
+ #
+ #
+ # == URL generation for named routes
+ #
+ # UrlWriter also allows one to access methods that have been auto-generated from
+ # named routes. For example, suppose that you have a 'users' resource in your
+ # <b>routes.rb</b>:
+ #
+ # map.resources :users
+ #
+ # This generates, among other things, the method <tt>users_path</tt>. By default,
+ # this method is accessible from your controllers, views and mailers. If you need
+ # to access this auto-generated method from other places (such as a model), then
+ # you can do that in two ways.
+ #
+ # The first way is to include ActionController::UrlWriter in your class:
+ #
+ # class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # include ActionController::UrlWriter # !!!
+ #
+ # def name=(value)
+ # write_attribute('name', value)
+ # write_attribute('base_uri', users_path) # !!!
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # The second way is to access them through ActionController::UrlWriter.
+ # The autogenerated named routes methods are available as class methods:
+ #
+ # class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # def name=(value)
+ # write_attribute('name', value)
+ # path = ActionController::UrlWriter.users_path # !!!
+ # write_attribute('base_uri', path) # !!!
+ # end
+ # end
+ module UrlWriter
+ def self.included(base) #:nodoc:
+ ActionController::Routing::Routes.install_helpers(base)
+ base.mattr_accessor :default_url_options
+
+ # The default options for urls written by this writer. Typically a <tt>:host</tt> pair is provided.
+ base.default_url_options ||= {}
+ end
+
+ # Generate a url based on the options provided, default_url_options and the
+ # routes defined in routes.rb. The following options are supported:
+ #
+ # * <tt>:only_path</tt> - If true, the relative url is returned. Defaults to +false+.
+ # * <tt>:protocol</tt> - The protocol to connect to. Defaults to 'http'.
+ # * <tt>:host</tt> - Specifies the host the link should be targetted at.
+ # If <tt>:only_path</tt> is false, this option must be
+ # provided either explicitly, or via +default_url_options+.
+ # * <tt>:port</tt> - Optionally specify the port to connect to.
+ # * <tt>:anchor</tt> - An anchor name to be appended to the path.
+ # * <tt>:skip_relative_url_root</tt> - If true, the url is not constructed using the
+ # +relative_url_root+ set in ActionController::Base.relative_url_root.
+ # * <tt>:trailing_slash</tt> - If true, adds a trailing slash, as in "/archive/2009/"
+ #
+ # Any other key (<tt>:controller</tt>, <tt>:action</tt>, etc.) given to
+ # +url_for+ is forwarded to the Routes module.
+ #
+ # Examples:
+ #
+ # url_for :controller => 'tasks', :action => 'testing', :host=>'somehost.org', :port=>'8080' # => 'http://somehost.org:8080/tasks/testing'
+ # url_for :controller => 'tasks', :action => 'testing', :host=>'somehost.org', :anchor => 'ok', :only_path => true # => '/tasks/testing#ok'
+ # url_for :controller => 'tasks', :action => 'testing', :trailing_slash=>true # => 'http://somehost.org/tasks/testing/'
+ # url_for :controller => 'tasks', :action => 'testing', :host=>'somehost.org', :number => '33' # => 'http://somehost.org/tasks/testing?number=33'
