-== Create a `squawk_info_for` view helper ==
-
-Creating a view helper is a 3-step process:
-
- * Add an appropriately named file to the 'lib' directory.
- * Require the file and hooks in 'init.rb'.
- * Write the tests.
-
-First, create the test to define the functionality you want:
-
-[source, ruby]
----------------------------------------------------------------
-# File: vendor/plugins/yaffle/test/view_helpers_test.rb
-
-require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/test_helper.rb'
-include YaffleViewHelper
-
-class ViewHelpersTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
- def test_squawk_info_for_should_return_the_text_and_date
- time = Time.now
- hickwall = Hickwall.new
- hickwall.last_squawk = "Hello World"
- hickwall.last_squawked_at = time
- assert_equal "Hello World, #{time.to_s}", squawk_info_for(hickwall)
- end
-end
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Then add the following statements to init.rb:
-
-[source, ruby]
----------------------------------------------------------------
-# File: vendor/plugins/yaffle/init.rb
-
-require "view_helpers"
-ActionView::Base.send :include, YaffleViewHelper
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Then add the view helpers file and
-
-[source, ruby]
----------------------------------------------------------------
-# File: vendor/plugins/yaffle/lib/view_helpers.rb
-
-module YaffleViewHelper
- def squawk_info_for(yaffle)
- returning "" do |result|
- result << yaffle.read_attribute(yaffle.class.yaffle_text_field)
- result << ", "
- result << yaffle.read_attribute(yaffle.class.yaffle_date_field).to_s
- end
- end
-end
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You can also test this in script/console by using the `helper` method:
-
----------------------------------------------------------------
-$ ./script/console
->> helper.squawk_info_for(@some_yaffle_instance)
