module Verification #:nodoc:
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
include AbstractController::Callbacks, Flash, Rendering
# This module provides a class-level method for specifying that certain
# actions are guarded against being called without certain prerequisites
# being met. This is essentially a special kind of before_filter.
#
# An action may be guarded against being invoked without certain request
# parameters being set, or without certain session values existing.
#
# When a verification is violated, values may be inserted into the flash, and
# a specified redirection is triggered. If no specific action is configured,
# verification failures will by default result in a 400 Bad Request response.
#
# Usage:
#
# class GlobalController < ActionController::Base
# # Prevent the #update_settings action from being invoked unless
# # the 'admin_privileges' request parameter exists. The
# # settings action will be redirected to in current controller
# # if verification fails.
# verify :params => "admin_privileges", :only => :update_post,
# :redirect_to => { :action => "settings" }
#
# # Disallow a post from being updated if there was no information
# # submitted with the post, and if there is no active post in the
# # session, and if there is no "note" key in the flash. The route
# # named category_url will be redirected to if verification fails.
#
# verify :params => "post", :session => "post", "flash" => "note",
# :only => :update_post,
# :add_flash => { "alert" => "Failed to create your message" },
# :redirect_to => :category_url
#
# Note that these prerequisites are not business rules. They do not examine
# the content of the session or the parameters. That level of validation should
# be encapsulated by your domain model or helper methods in the controller.
module ClassMethods
# Verify the given actions so that if certain prerequisites are not met,
# the user is redirected to a different action. The +options+ parameter
# is a hash consisting of the following key/value pairs:
#
# :params::
# a single key or an array of keys that must be in the params
# hash in order for the action(s) to be safely called.
# :session::
# a single key or an array of keys that must be in the session
# in order for the action(s) to be safely called.
# :flash::
# a single key or an array of keys that must be in the flash in order
# for the action(s) to be safely called.
# :method::
# a single key or an array of keys--any one of which must match the
# current request method in order for the action(s) to be safely called.
# (The key should be a symbol: :get or :post, for
# example.)
# :xhr::
# true/false option to ensure that the request is coming from an Ajax
# call or not.
# :add_flash::
# a hash of name/value pairs that should be merged into the session's
# flash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied.
# :add_headers::
# a hash of name/value pairs that should be merged into the response's
# headers hash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied.
# :redirect_to::
# the redirection parameters to be used when redirecting if the
# prerequisites cannot be satisfied. You can redirect either to named
# route or to the action in some controller.
# :render::
# the render parameters to be used when the prerequisites cannot be satisfied.
# :only::
# only apply this verification to the actions specified in the associated
# array (may also be a single value).
# :except::
# do not apply this verification to the actions specified in the associated
# array (may also be a single value).
