+module ActionView #:nodoc:
+ # = Action View Base
+ #
+ # Action View templates can be written in several ways. If the template file has a <tt>.erb</tt> extension then it uses a mixture of ERB
+ # (included in Ruby) and HTML. If the template file has a <tt>.builder</tt> extension then Jim Weirich's Builder::XmlMarkup library is used.
+ #
+ # == ERB
+ #
+ # You trigger ERB by using embeddings such as <% %>, <% -%>, and <%= %>. The <%= %> tag set is used when you want output. Consider the
+ # following loop for names:
+ #
+ # <b>Names of all the people</b>
+ # <% @people.each do |person| %>
+ # Name: <%= person.name %><br/>
+ # <% end %>
+ #
+ # The loop is setup in regular embedding tags <% %> and the name is written using the output embedding tag <%= %>. Note that this
+ # is not just a usage suggestion. Regular output functions like print or puts won't work with ERB templates. So this would be wrong:
+ #
+ # <%# WRONG %>
+ # Hi, Mr. <% puts "Frodo" %>
+ #
+ # If you absolutely must write from within a function use +concat+.
+ #
+ # <%- and -%> suppress leading and trailing whitespace, including the trailing newline, and can be used interchangeably with <% and %>.
+ #
+ # === Using sub templates
+ #
+ # Using sub templates allows you to sidestep tedious replication and extract common display structures in shared templates. The
+ # classic example is the use of a header and footer (even though the Action Pack-way would be to use Layouts):
+ #
+ # <%= render "shared/header" %>
+ # Something really specific and terrific
+ # <%= render "shared/footer" %>
+ #
+ # As you see, we use the output embeddings for the render methods. The render call itself will just return a string holding the
+ # result of the rendering. The output embedding writes it to the current template.
+ #
+ # But you don't have to restrict yourself to static includes. Templates can share variables amongst themselves by using instance
+ # variables defined using the regular embedding tags. Like this:
+ #
+ # <% @page_title = "A Wonderful Hello" %>
+ # <%= render "shared/header" %>
+ #
+ # Now the header can pick up on the <tt>@page_title</tt> variable and use it for outputting a title tag:
+ #
+ # <title><%= @page_title %></title>
+ #
+ # === Passing local variables to sub templates
+ #
+ # You can pass local variables to sub templates by using a hash with the variable names as keys and the objects as values:
+ #
+ # <%= render "shared/header", { headline: "Welcome", person: person } %>
+ #
+ # These can now be accessed in <tt>shared/header</tt> with:
+ #
+ # Headline: <%= headline %>
+ # First name: <%= person.first_name %>
+ #
+ # If you need to find out whether a certain local variable has been assigned a value in a particular render call,
+ # you need to use the following pattern:
+ #
+ # <% if local_assigns.has_key? :headline %>
+ # Headline: <%= headline %>
+ # <% end %>
+ #
+ # Testing using <tt>defined? headline</tt> will not work. This is an implementation restriction.
+ #
+ # === Template caching
+ #
+ # By default, Rails will compile each template to a method in order to render it. When you alter a template,
+ # Rails will check the file's modification time and recompile it in development mode.
+ #
+ # == Builder
+ #
+ # Builder templates are a more programmatic alternative to ERB. They are especially useful for generating XML content. An XmlMarkup object
+ # named +xml+ is automatically made available to templates with a <tt>.builder</tt> extension.
+ #
+ # Here are some basic examples:
+ #
+ # xml.em("emphasized") # => <em>emphasized</em>
+ # xml.em { xml.b("emph & bold") } # => <em><b>emph &amp; bold</b></em>
+ # xml.a("A Link", "href" => "http://onestepback.org") # => <a href="http://onestepback.org">A Link</a>
+ # xml.target("name" => "compile", "option" => "fast") # => <target option="fast" name="compile"\>
+ # # NOTE: order of attributes is not specified.
+ #
+ # Any method with a block will be treated as an XML markup tag with nested markup in the block. For example, the following:
+ #
+ # xml.div do
+ # xml.h1(@person.name)
+ # xml.p(@person.bio)
+ # end
+ #
+ # would produce something like:
+ #
+ # <div>
+ # <h1>David Heinemeier Hansson</h1>
+ # <p>A product of Danish Design during the Winter of '79...</p>
+ # </div>
+ #
+ # A full-length RSS example actually used on Basecamp:
+ #
+ # xml.rss("version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/") do
+ # xml.channel do
+ # xml.title(@feed_title)
+ # xml.link(@url)
+ # xml.description "Basecamp: Recent items"
+ # xml.language "en-us"
+ # xml.ttl "40"
+ #
+ # @recent_items.each do |item|
+ # xml.item do
+ # xml.title(item_title(item))
+ # xml.description(item_description(item)) if item_description(item)
+ # xml.pubDate(item_pubDate(item))
+ # xml.guid(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
+ # xml.link(@person.firm.account.url + @recent_items.url(item))
+ #
+ # xml.tag!("dc:creator", item.author_name) if item_has_creator?(item)
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # More builder documentation can be found at http://builder.rubyforge.org.
