+
+ # Invoke a generator based on the value supplied by the user to the
+ # given option named "name". A class option is created when this method
+ # is invoked and you can set a hash to customize it.
+ #
+ # ==== Examples
+ #
+ # module Rails::Generators
+ # class ControllerGenerator < Base
+ # hook_for :test_framework, :aliases => "-t"
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # The example above will create a test framework option and will invoke
+ # a generator based on the user supplied value.
+ #
+ # For example, if the user invoke the controller generator as:
+ #
+ # ruby script/generate controller Account --test-framework=test_unit
+ #
+ # The controller generator will then try to invoke the following generators:
+ #
+ # "rails:generators:test_unit", "test_unit:generators:controller", "test_unit"
+ #
+ # In this case, the "test_unit:generators:controller" is available and is
+ # invoked. This allows any test framework to hook into Rails as long as it
+ # provides any of the hooks above.
+ #
+ # ==== Options
+ #
+ # This lookup can be customized with two options: :base and :as. The first
+ # is the root module value and in the example above defaults to "rails".
+ # The later defaults to the generator name, without the "Generator" ending.
+ #
+ # Let's suppose you are creating a generator that needs to invoke the
+ # controller generator from test unit. Your first attempt is:
+ #
+ # class AwesomeGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
+ # hook_for :test_framework
+ # end
+ #
+ # The lookup in this case for test_unit as input is:
+ #
+ # "test_unit:generators:awesome", "test_unit"
+ #
+ # Which is not the desired the lookup. You can change it by providing the
+ # :as option:
+ #
+ # class AwesomeGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
+ # hook_for :test_framework, :as => :controller
+ # end
+ #
+ # And now it will lookup at:
+ #
+ # "test_unit:generators:awesome", "test_unit"
+ #
+ # Similarly, if you want it to also lookup in the rails namespace, you just
+ # need to provide the :base value:
+ #
+ # class AwesomeGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
+ # hook_for :test_framework, :base => :rails, :as => :controller
+ # end
+ #
+ # And the lookup is exactly the same as previously:
+ #
+ # "rails:generators:test_unit", "test_unit:generators:controller", "test_unit"
+ #
+ # ==== Switches
+ #
+ # All hooks come with switches for user interface. If the user don't want
+ # to use any test framework, he can do:
+ #
+ # ruby script/generate controller Account --skip-test-framework
+ #
+ # Or similarly:
+ #
+ # ruby script/generate controller Account --no-test-framework
+ #
+ # ==== Boolean hooks
+ #
+ # In some cases, you want to provide a boolean hook. For example, webrat
+ # developers might want to have webrat available on controller generator.
+ # This can be achieved as:
+ #
+ # Rails::Generators::ControllerGenerator.hook_for :webrat, :type => :boolean
+ #
+ # Then, if you want, webrat to be invoked, just supply:
+ #
+ # ruby script/generate controller Account --webrat
+ #
+ # The hooks lookup is similar as above:
+ #
+ # "rails:generators:webrat", "webrat:generators:controller", "webrat"
+ #
+ # ==== Custom invocations
+ #
+ # You can also supply a block to hook_for to customize how the hook is
+ # going to be invoked. The block receives two parameters, an instance
+ # of the current class and the klass to be invoked.
+ #
+ # For example, in the resource generator, the controller should be invoked
+ # with a pluralized class name. By default, it is invoked with the same
+ # name as the resource generator, which is singular. To change this, we
+ # can give a block to customize how the controller can be invoked.
+ #
+ # hook_for :resource_controller do |instance, controller|
+ # instance.invoke controller, [ instance.name.pluralize ]
+ # end
+ #
