# The Date Helper primarily creates select/option tags for different kinds of dates and date elements. All of the select-type methods
# share a number of common options that are as follows:
#
# * :prefix - overwrites the default prefix of "date" used for the select names. So specifying "birthday" would give
# birthday[month] instead of date[month] if passed to the select_month method.
# * :include_blank - set to true if it should be possible to set an empty date.
# * :discard_type - set to true if you want to discard the type part of the select name. If set to true, the select_month
# method would use simply "date" (which can be overwritten using :prefix) instead of "date[month]".

# Returns a set of select tags (one for year, month, and day) pre-selected for accessing a specified date-based attribute (identified by
# +method+) on an object assigned to the template (identified by +object+). It's possible to tailor the selects through the +options+ hash,
# which both accepts all the keys that each of the individual select builders does (like :use_month_numbers for select_month) and a range of
# discard options. The discard options are :discard_year, :discard_month and :discard_day. Set to true, they'll
# drop the respective select. Discarding the month select will also automatically discard the day select. It's also possible to explicitly
# set the order of the tags using the :order option with an array of symbols :year, :month and :day in
# the desired order. Symbols may be omitted and the respective select is not included.
#
# NOTE: Discarded selects will default to 1. So if no month select is available, January will be assumed.
#
# Examples:
#
# date_select("post", "written_on")
# date_select("post", "written_on", :start_year => 1995)
# date_select("post", "written_on", :start_year => 1995, :use_month_numbers => true,
# :discard_day => true, :include_blank => true)
# date_select("post", "written_on", :order => [:day, :month, :year])
# date_select("user", "birthday", :order => [:month, :day])
