# = Action View Asset Tag Helpers
module Helpers #:nodoc:
# This module provides methods for generating HTML that links views to assets such
# as images, javascripts, stylesheets, and feeds. These methods do not verify
# the assets exist before linking to them:
#
# image_tag("rails.png")
# # =>
# stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# # =>
#
# === Using asset hosts
#
# By default, Rails links to these assets on the current host in the public
# folder, but you can direct Rails to link to assets from a dedicated asset
# server by setting ActionController::Base.asset_host in the application
# configuration, typically in config/environments/production.rb.
# For example, you'd define assets.example.com to be your asset
# host this way:
#
# ActionController::Base.asset_host = "assets.example.com"
#
# Helpers take that into account:
#
# image_tag("rails.png")
# # =>
# stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# # =>
#
# Browsers typically open at most two simultaneous connections to a single
# host, which means your assets often have to wait for other assets to finish
# downloading. You can alleviate this by using a %d wildcard in the
# +asset_host+. For example, "assets%d.example.com". If that wildcard is
# present Rails distributes asset requests among the corresponding four hosts
# "assets0.example.com", ..., "assets3.example.com". With this trick browsers
# will open eight simultaneous connections rather than two.
#
# image_tag("rails.png")
# # =>
# stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# # =>
#
# To do this, you can either setup four actual hosts, or you can use wildcard
# DNS to CNAME the wildcard to a single asset host. You can read more about
# setting up your DNS CNAME records from your ISP.
#
# Note: This is purely a browser performance optimization and is not meant
# for server load balancing. See http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/
# for background.
#
# Alternatively, you can exert more control over the asset host by setting
# +asset_host+ to a proc like this:
#
# ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source|
# "http://assets#{source.hash % 2 + 1}.example.com"
# }
# image_tag("rails.png")
# # =>
# stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# # =>
#
# The example above generates "http://assets1.example.com" and
# "http://assets2.example.com". This option is useful for example if
# you need fewer/more than four hosts, custom host names, etc.
#
# As you see the proc takes a +source+ parameter. That's a string with the
# absolute path of the asset with any extensions and timestamps in place,
# for example "/images/rails.png?1230601161".
#
# ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source|
# if source.starts_with?('/images')
# "http://images.example.com"
# else
# "http://assets.example.com"
# end
# }
# image_tag("rails.png")
# # =>
# stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# # =>
#
# Alternatively you may ask for a second parameter +request+. That one is
# particularly useful for serving assets from an SSL-protected page. The
# example proc below disables asset hosting for HTTPS connections, while
# still sending assets for plain HTTP requests from asset hosts. If you don't
# have SSL certificates for each of the asset hosts this technique allows you
# to avoid warnings in the client about mixed media.
#
# ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source, request|
# if request.ssl?
# "#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}"
# else
# "#{request.protocol}assets.example.com"
# end
# }
#
# You can also implement a custom asset host object that responds to +call+
# and takes either one or two parameters just like the proc.
#
# config.action_controller.asset_host = AssetHostingWithMinimumSsl.new(
# "http://asset%d.example.com", "https://asset1.example.com"
# )
#
# === Customizing the asset path
#
# By default, Rails appends asset's timestamps to all asset paths. This allows
# you to set a cache-expiration date for the asset far into the future, but
# still be able to instantly invalidate it by simply updating the file (and
# hence updating the timestamp, which then updates the URL as the timestamp
# is part of that, which in turn busts the cache).
#
# It's the responsibility of the web server you use to set the far-future
# expiration date on cache assets that you need to take advantage of this
# feature. Here's an example for Apache:
#
# # Asset Expiration
# ExpiresActive On
#
# ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
#
#
# Also note that in order for this to work, all your application servers must
# return the same timestamps. This means that they must have their clocks
# synchronized. If one of them drifts out of sync, you'll see different
# timestamps at random and the cache won't work. In that case the browser
# will request the same assets over and over again even thought they didn't
# change. You can use something like Live HTTP Headers for Firefox to verify
# that the cache is indeed working.
#
# This strategy works well enough for most server setups and requires the
# least configuration, but if you deploy several application servers at
# different times - say to handle a temporary spike in load - then the
# asset time stamps will be out of sync. In a setup like this you may want
# to set the way that asset paths are generated yourself.
#
# Altering the asset paths that Rails generates can be done in two ways.
# The easiest is to define the RAILS_ASSET_ID environment variable. The
# contents of this variable will always be used in preference to
# calculated timestamps. A more complex but flexible way is to set
# ActionController::Base.config.asset_path to a proc
# that takes the unmodified asset path and returns the path needed for
# your asset caching to work. Typically you'd do something like this in
# config/environments/production.rb:
#
# # Normally you'd calculate RELEASE_NUMBER at startup.
# RELEASE_NUMBER = 12345
# config.action_controller.asset_path = proc { |asset_path|
# "/release-#{RELEASE_NUMBER}#{asset_path}"
# }
#
# This example would cause the following behaviour on all servers no
# matter when they were deployed:
#
# image_tag("rails.png")
# # =>
# stylesheet_link_tag("application")
# # =>
#
# Changing the asset_path does require that your web servers have
# knowledge of the asset template paths that you rewrite to so it's not
# suitable for out-of-the-box use. To use the example given above you
# could use something like this in your Apache VirtualHost configuration:
#
#
# # Some browsers still send conditional-GET requests if there's a
# # Last-Modified header or an ETag header even if they haven't
# # reached the expiry date sent in the Expires header.
# Header unset Last-Modified
# Header unset ETag
# FileETag None
#
# # Assets requested using a cache-busting filename should be served
# # only once and then cached for a really long time. The HTTP/1.1
# # spec frowns on hugely-long expiration times though and suggests
# # that assets which never expire be served with an expiration date
# # 1 year from access.
# ExpiresActive On
# ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
#
#
# # We use cached-busting location names with the far-future expires
# # headers to ensure that if a file does change it can force a new
# # request. The actual asset filenames are still the same though so we
# # need to rewrite the location from the cache-busting location to the
# # real asset location so that we can serve it.
# RewriteEngine On
# RewriteRule ^/release-\d+/(images|javascripts|stylesheets)/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [L]
