# The Active Record Helper makes it easier to create forms for records kept in instance variables. The most far-reaching is the form
# method that creates a complete form for all the basic content types of the record (not associations or aggregations, though). This
# is a great of making the record quickly available for editing, but likely to prove lackluster for a complicated real-world form.
# In that case, it's better to use the input method and the specialized form methods in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html
module ActiveRecordHelper
# Returns a default input tag for the type of object returned by the method. Example
# (title is a VARCHAR column and holds "Hello World"):
# input("post", "title") =>
#
def input(record_name, method)
InstanceTag.new(record_name, method, self).to_tag
end
# Returns an entire form with input tags and everything for a specified Active Record object. Example
# (post is a new record that has a title using VARCHAR and a body using TEXT):
# form("post") =>
#
#
# It's possible to specialize the form builder by using a different action name and by supplying another
# block renderer. Example (entry is a new record that has a message attribute using VARCHAR):
#
# form("entry", :action => "sign", :input_block =>
# Proc.new { |record, column| "#{column.human_name}: #{input(record, column.name)} " }) =>
#
#
#
# It's also possible to add additional content to the form by giving it a block, such as:
#
# form("entry", :action => "sign") do |form|
# form << content_tag("b", "Department")
# form << collection_select("department", "id", @departments, "id", "name")
# end
