module ActionController
# Wraps parameters hash into nested hash. This will allow client to submit
# POST request without having to specify a root element in it.
#
# By default this functionality won't be enabled. You can enable
# it globally by setting +ActionController::Base.wrap_parameters+:
#
# ActionController::Base.wrap_parameters = [:json]
#
# You could also turn it on per controller by setting the format array to
# non-empty array:
#
# class UsersController < ApplicationController
# wrap_parameters :format => [:json, :xml]
# end
#
# If you enable +ParamsWrapper+ for +:json+ format. Instead of having to
# send JSON parameters like this:
#
# {"user": {"name": "Konata"}}
#
# You can now just send a parameters like this:
#
# {"name": "Konata"}
#
# And it will be wrapped into a nested hash with the key name matching
# controller's name. For example, if you're posting to +UsersController+,
# your new +params+ hash will look like this:
#
# {"name" => "Konata", "user" => {"name" => "Konata"}}
#
# You can also specify the key in which the parameters should be wrapped to,
# and also the list of attributes it should wrap by using either +:only+ or
# +:except+ options like this:
#
# class UsersController < ApplicationController
# wrap_parameters :person, :only => [:username, :password]
# end
#
# If you're going to pass the parameters to an +ActiveModel+ object (such as
# +User.new(params[:user])+), you might consider passing the model class to
# the method instead. The +ParamsWrapper+ will actually try to determine the
# list of attribute names from the model and only wrap those attributes:
#
# class UsersController < ApplicationController
# wrap_parameters Person
# end
#
# You still could pass +:only+ and +:except+ to set the list of attributes
# you want to wrap.
#
# By default, if you don't specify the key in which the parameters would be
# wrapped to, +ParamsWrapper+ will actually try to determine if there's
# a model related to it or not. This controller, for example:
#
# class Admin::UsersController < ApplicationController
# end
#
# will try to check if +Admin::User+ or +User+ model exists, and use it to
# determine the wrapper key respectively. If both of the model doesn't exists,
# it will then fallback to use +user+ as the key.

# ==== Examples
# wrap_parameters :format => :xml
# # enables the parmeter wrapper for XML format
#
# wrap_parameters :person
# # wraps parameters into +params[:person]+ hash
#
# wrap_parameters Person
# # wraps parameters by determine the wrapper key from Person class
# (+person+, in this case) and the list of attribute names
#
# wrap_parameters :only => [:username, :title]
# # wraps only +:username+ and +:title+ attributes from parameters.
#
# wrap_parameters false
# # disable parameters wrapping for this controller altogether.
#
# ==== Options
# * :format - The list of formats in which the parameters wrapper
# will be enabled.
# * :only - The list of attribute names which parameters wrapper
# will wrap into a nested hash.
# * :except - The list of attribute names which parameters wrapper
# will exclude from a nested hash.
