# Action Controllers are made up of one or more actions that performs its purpose and then either renders a template or
# redirects to another action. An action is defined as a public method on the controller, which will automatically be
# made accessible to the web-server through a mod_rewrite mapping. A sample controller could look like this:
#
# class GuestBookController < ActionController::Base
# def index
# @entries = Entry.find_all
# end
#
# def sign
# Entry.create(@params["entry"])
# redirect_to :action => "index"
# end
# end
#
# GuestBookController.template_root = "templates/"
# GuestBookController.process_cgi
#
# All actions assume that you want to render a template matching the name of the action at the end of the performance
# unless you tell it otherwise. The index action complies with this assumption, so after populating the @entries instance
# variable, the GuestBookController will render "templates/guestbook/index.rhtml".
#
# Unlike index, the sign action isn't interested in rendering a template. So after performing its main purpose (creating a
# new entry in the guest book), it sheds the rendering assumption and initiates a redirect instead. This redirect works by
# returning an external "302 Moved" HTTP response that takes the user to the index action.
#
# The index and sign represent the two basic action archetypes used in Action Controllers. Get-and-show and do-and-redirect.
# Most actions are variations of these themes.
#
# Also note that it's the final call to process_cgi that actually initiates the action performance. It will extract
# request and response objects from the CGI
#
# == Requests
#
# Requests are processed by the Action Controller framework by extracting the value of the "action" key in the request parameters.
# This value should hold the name of the action to be performed. Once the action has been identified, the remaining
# request parameters, the session (if one is available), and the full request with all the http headers are made available to
# the action through instance variables. Then the action is performed.
#
# The full request object is available in @request and is primarily used to query for http headers. These queries are made by
# accessing the environment hash, like this:
#
# def hello_ip
# location = @request.env["REMOTE_IP"]
# render_text "Hello stranger from #{location}"
# end
#
# == Parameters
#
# All request parameters whether they come from a GET or POST request, or from the URL, are available through the @params hash.
# So an action that was performed through /weblog/list?category=All&limit=5 will include { "category" => "All", "limit" => 5 }
# in @params.
#
# It's also possible to construct multi-dimensional parameter hashes by specifying keys using brackets, such as:
#
#
#
#
# A request stemming from a form holding these inputs will include { "post" => { "name" => "david", "address" => "hyacintvej" } }.
# If the address input had been named "post[address][street]", the @params would have included
# { "post" => { "address" => { "street" => "hyacintvej" } } }. There's no limit to the depth of the nesting.
#
# == Sessions
#
# Sessions allows you to store objects in memory between requests. This is useful for objects that are not yet ready to be persisted,
# such as a Signup object constructed in a multi-paged process, or objects that don't change much and are needed all the time, such
# as a User object for a system that requires login. The session should not be used, however, as a cache for objects where it's likely
# they could be changed unknowingly. It's usually too much work to keep it all synchronized -- something databases already excel at.
#
# You can place objects in the session by using the @session hash:
#
# @session[:person] = Person.authenticate(user_name, password)
#
# And retrieved again through the same hash:
#
# Hello #{@session[:person]}
#
# Any object can be placed in the session (as long as it can be Marshalled). But remember that 1000 active sessions each storing a
# 50kb object could lead to a 50MB memory overhead. In other words, think carefully about size and caching before resorting to the use
# of the session.
#
# If you store a model in the session, you must also include a line like:
#
# model :person
#
# For that particular controller. In Rails, you can also just add it in your app/controller/application.rb file (so the model is available
# for all controllers). This lets Action Pack know to have the model definition loaded before retrieving the object from the session.
#
# For removing objects from the session, you can either assign a single key to nil, like @session[:person] = nil, or you can
# remove the entire session with reset_session.
#
# == Responses
#
# Each action results in a response, which holds the headers and document to be sent to the user's browser. The actual response
# object is generated automatically through the use of renders and redirects, so it's normally nothing you'll need to be concerned about.
#
# == Renders
#
# Action Controller sends content to the user by using one of five rendering methods. The most versatile and common is the rendering
# of a template. Included in the Action Pack is the Action View, which enables rendering of ERb templates. It's automatically configured.
# The controller passes objects to the view by assigning instance variables:
#
# def show
# @post = Post.find(@params["id"])
# end
#
# Which are then automatically available to the view:
#
# Title: <%= @post.title %>
#
# You don't have to rely on the automated rendering. Especially actions that could result in the rendering of different templates will use
# the manual rendering methods:
#
# def search
# @results = Search.find(@params["query"])
# case @results
# when 0 then render "weblog/no_results"
# when 1 then render_action "show"
# when 2..10 then render_action "show_many"
# end
# end
#
# Read more about writing ERb and Builder templates in link:classes/ActionView/Base.html.
#
# == Redirects
#
# Redirecting is what actions that update the model do when they're done. The save_post method shouldn't be responsible for also
# showing the post once it's saved -- that's the job for show_post. So once save_post has completed its business, it'll
# redirect to show_post. All redirects are external, which means that when the user refreshes his browser, it's not going to save
# the post again, but rather just show it one more time.
#
# This sounds fairly simple, but the redirection is complicated by the quest for a phenomenon known as "pretty urls". Instead of accepting
# the dreadful beings that is "weblog_controller?action=show&post_id=5", Action Controller goes out of its way to represent the former as
# "/weblog/show/5". And this is even the simple case. As an example of a more advanced pretty url consider
# "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/show", which can be mapped to books_controller?action=show&type=ISBN&id=0743536703.
#
# Redirects work by rewriting the URL of the current action. So if the show action was called by "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/show",
# we can redirect to an edit action simply by doing redirect_to(:action => "edit"), which could throw the user to
# "/library/books/ISBN/0743536703/edit". Naturally, you'll need to setup the routes configuration file to point to the proper controller
# and action in the first place, but once you have, it can be rewritten with ease.
#
# Let's consider a bunch of examples on how to go from "/clients/37signals/basecamp/project/dash" to somewhere else:
#
# redirect_to(:action => "edit") =>
# /clients/37signals/basecamp/project/dash
#
# redirect_to(:client_name => "nextangle", :project_name => "rails") =>
# /clients/nextangle/rails/project/dash
#
# Those redirects happen under the configuration of:
#
# map.connect 'clients/:client_name/:project_name/:controller/:action'
#
# == Calling multiple redirects or renders
#
# The rule for handling calls of multiple redirects and renders is that the first call wins. So in the following example:
#
# def do_something
# redirect_to :action => "elsewhere"
# render_action "overthere"
# end
#
# Only the redirect happens. The rendering call is simply ignored.
#
# == Environments
#
# Action Controller works out of the box with CGI, FastCGI, and mod_ruby. CGI and mod_ruby controllers are triggered just the same using:
#
# WeblogController.process_cgi
#
# FastCGI controllers are triggered using:
#
# FCGI.each_cgi{ |cgi| WeblogController.process_cgi(cgi) }

# Returns a URL that has been rewritten according to the options hash and the defined Routes.
# (For doing a complete redirect, use redirect_to).
#
# url_for is used to:
#
# All keys given to url_for are forwarded to the Route module save for the following:
# * :anchor -- specifies the anchor name to be appended to the path. For example,
# url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => 10, :anchor => 'comments'
# will produce "/posts/show/10#comments".
# * :only_path -- if true, returns the absolute URL (omitting the protocol, host name, and port)
# * :host -- overrides the default (current) host if provided
# * :protocol -- overrides the default (current) protocol if provided
#
# The URL is generated from the remaining keys in the hash. A URL contains two key parts: the and a query string.
# Routes composes a query string as the key/value pairs not included in the .
#
# The default Routes setup supports a typical Rails path of "controller/action/id" where action and id are optional, with
# action defaulting to 'index' when not given. Here are some typical url_for statements and their corresponding URLs:
#
# url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'recent' # => 'proto://host.com/posts/recent'
# url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'index' # => 'proto://host.com/posts'
# url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => 10 # => 'proto://host.com/posts/show/10'
#
# When generating a new URL, missing values may be filled in from the current request's parameters. For example,
# url_for :action => 'some_action' will retain the current controller, as expected. This behavior extends to
# other parameters, including :controller, :id, and any other parameters that are placed into a Route's
# path.
#
# The URL helpers such as url_for have a limited form of memory: when generating a new URL, they can look for
# missing values in the current request's parameters. Routes attempts to guess when a value should and should not be
# taken from the defaults. There are a few simple rules on how this is performed:
#
# * If the controller name begins with a slash, no defaults are used: url_for :controller => '/home'
# * If the controller changes, the action will default to index unless provided
#
# The final rule is applied while the URL is being generated and is best illustrated by an example. Let us consider the
# route given by map.connect 'people/:last/:first/:action', :action => 'bio', :controller => 'people'.
#
# Suppose that the current URL is "people/hh/david/contacts". Let's consider a few different cases URLs which are generated
# from this page.
#
# * url_for :action => 'bio' -- During the generation of this URL, default values will be used for the first and
# last components, and the action shall change. The generated URL will be, "people/david/hh/bio".
# * url_for :first => 'davids-little-brother' This generates the URL 'people/hh/davids-little-brother' -- note
# that this URL leaves out the assumed action of 'bio'.
#
# However, you might ask why the action from the current request, 'contacts', isn't carried over into the new URL. The
# answer has to do with the order in which the parameters appear in the generated path. In a nutshell, since the
# value that appears in the slot for :first is not equal to default value for :first we stop using
# defaults. On it's own, this rule can account for much of the typical Rails URL behavior.
#
# Although a convienence, defaults can occasionaly get in your way. In some cases a default persists longer than desired.
# The default may be cleared by adding :name => nil to url_for's options.
# This is often required when writing form helpers, since the defaults in play may vary greatly depending upon where the
# helper is used from. The following line will redirect to PostController's default action, regardless of the page it is
# displayed on:
#
# url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => nil
#
# Instead of passing an options hash, you can also pass a method reference in the form of a symbol. Consider this example:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# def update
# # do some update
# redirect_to :dashboard_url
# end
#
# protected
# def dashboard_url
# url_for :controller => (@project.active? ? "project" : "account"), :action => "dashboard"
