module Helpers
# Provides a number of methods for turning different kinds of containers into a set of option tags.
# == Options
# The collection_select, select and time_zone_select methods take an options parameter, a hash:
#
# * :include_blank - set to true or a prompt string if the first option element of the select element is a blank. Useful if there is not a default value required for the select element.
#
# For example,
#
# select("post", "category", Post::CATEGORIES, {:include_blank => true})
#
# could become:
#
#
#
# Another common case is a select tag for an belongs_to-associated object.
#
# Example with @post.person_id => 2:
#
# select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, {:include_blank => 'None'})
#
# could become:
#
#
#
# * :prompt - set to true or a prompt string. When the select element doesn't have a value yet, this prepends an option with a generic prompt -- "Please select" -- or the given prompt string.
#
# Example:
#
# select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, {:prompt => 'Select Person'})
#
# could become:
#
#
#
# Like the other form helpers, +select+ can accept an :index option to manually set the ID used in the resulting output. Unlike other helpers, +select+ expects this
# option to be in the +html_options+ parameter.
#
# Example:
#
# select("album[]", "genre", %w[rap rock country], {}, { :index => nil })
#
# becomes:
#
#
#
# * :disabled - can be a single value or an array of values that will be disabled options in the final output.
#
# Example:
#
# select("post", "category", Post::CATEGORIES, {:disabled => 'restricted'})
#
# could become:
#
#
#
# When used with the collection_select helper, :disabled can also be a Proc that identifies those options that should be disabled.
#
# Example:
#
# collection_select(:post, :category_id, Category.all, :id, :name, {:disabled => lambda{|category| category.archived? }})
#
# If the categories "2008 stuff" and "Christmas" return true when the method archived? is called, this would return:
#
#
module FormOptionsHelper
# ERB::Util can mask some helpers like textilize. Make sure to include them.
include ERB::Util
include TextHelper
# Create a select tag and a series of contained option tags for the provided object and method.
# The option currently held by the object will be selected, provided that the object is available.
# See options_for_select for the required format of the choices parameter.
#
# Example with @post.person_id => 1:
# select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, { :include_blank => true })
#
# could become:
#
#
#
# This can be used to provide a default set of options in the standard way: before rendering the create form, a
# new model instance is assigned the default options and bound to @model_name. Usually this model is not saved
# to the database. Instead, a second model object is created when the create request is received.
# This allows the user to submit a form page more than once with the expected results of creating multiple records.
# In addition, this allows a single partial to be used to generate form inputs for both edit and create forms.
#
# By default, post.person_id is the selected option. Specify :selected => value to use a different selection
# or :selected => nil to leave all options unselected. Similarly, you can specify values to be disabled in the option
# tags by specifying the :disabled option. This can either be a single value or an array of values to be disabled.
def select(object, method, choices, options = {}, html_options = {})
InstanceTag.new(object, method, self, options.delete(:object)).to_select_tag(choices, options, html_options)
end
# Returns and tags for the collection of existing return values of
# +method+ for +object+'s class. The value returned from calling +method+ on the instance +object+ will
# be selected. If calling +method+ returns +nil+, no selection is made without including :prompt
# or :include_blank in the +options+ hash.
#
# The :value_method and :text_method parameters are methods to be called on each member
# of +collection+. The return values are used as the +value+ attribute and contents of each
# tag, respectively.
#
# Example object structure for use with this method:
# class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :author
# end
# class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :posts
# def name_with_initial
# "#{first_name.first}. #{last_name}"
# end
# end
#
# Sample usage (selecting the associated Author for an instance of Post, @post):
# collection_select(:post, :author_id, Author.all, :id, :name_with_initial, :prompt => true)
#
# If @post.author_id is already 1, this would return:
#
def collection_select(object, method, collection, value_method, text_method, options = {}, html_options = {})
InstanceTag.new(object, method, self, options.delete(:object)).to_collection_select_tag(collection, value_method, text_method, options, html_options)
end
# Returns , and tags for the collection of existing return values of
# +method+ for +object+'s class. The value returned from calling +method+ on the instance +object+ will
# be selected. If calling +method+ returns +nil+, no selection is made without including :prompt
# or :include_blank in the +options+ hash.
#
# Parameters:
# * +object+ - The instance of the class to be used for the select tag
# * +method+ - The attribute of +object+ corresponding to the select tag
# * +collection+ - An array of objects representing the tags.
# * +group_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a member of +collection+, returns an
# array of child objects representing the tags.
# * +group_label_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a member of +collection+, returns a
# string to be used as the +label+ attribute for its tag.
# * +option_key_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of
# +collection+, returns a value to be used as the +value+ attribute for its tag.
# * +option_value_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of
# +collection+, returns a value to be used as the contents of its tag.
#
# Example object structure for use with this method:
# class Continent < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :countries
# # attribs: id, name
# end
# class Country < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :continent
# # attribs: id, name, continent_id
# end
# class City < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :country
# # attribs: id, name, country_id
# end
#
# Sample usage:
# grouped_collection_select(:city, :country_id, @continents, :countries, :name, :id, :name)
#
# Possible output:
#
#
def grouped_collection_select(object, method, collection, group_method, group_label_method, option_key_method, option_value_method, options = {}, html_options = {})

end
# Return select and option tags for the given object and method, using
# #time_zone_options_for_select to generate the list of option tags.
#
# In addition to the :include_blank option documented above,
# this method also supports a :model option, which defaults
# to ActiveSupport::TimeZone. This may be used by users to specify a
# different time zone model object. (See +time_zone_options_for_select+
# for more information.)
#
# You can also supply an array of ActiveSupport::TimeZone objects
# as +priority_zones+, so that they will be listed above the rest of the
# (long) list. (You can use ActiveSupport::TimeZone.us_zones as a convenience
# for obtaining a list of the US time zones, or a Regexp to select the zones
# of your choice)
#
# Finally, this method supports a :default option, which selects
# a default ActiveSupport::TimeZone if the object's time zone is +nil+.
#
# Examples:
# time_zone_select( "user", "time_zone", nil, :include_blank => true)
#
# time_zone_select( "user", "time_zone", nil, :default => "Pacific Time (US & Canada)" )
#
# time_zone_select( "user", 'time_zone', ActiveSupport::TimeZone.us_zones, :default => "Pacific Time (US & Canada)")
#
# time_zone_select( "user", 'time_zone', [ ActiveSupport::TimeZone['Alaska'], ActiveSupport::TimeZone['Hawaii'] ])
#
# time_zone_select( "user", 'time_zone', /Australia/)
#
# time_zone_select( "user", "time_zone", ActiveSupport::Timezone.all.sort, :model => ActiveSupport::Timezone)
def time_zone_select(object, method, priority_zones = nil, options = {}, html_options = {})

end
# Accepts a container (hash, array, enumerable, your type) and returns a string of option tags. Given a container
# where the elements respond to first and last (such as a two-element array), the "lasts" serve as option values and
# the "firsts" as option text. Hashes are turned into this form automatically, so the keys become "firsts" and values
# become lasts. If +selected+ is specified, the matching "last" or element will get the selected option-tag. +selected+
# may also be an array of values to be selected when using a multiple select.
#
# Examples (call, result):
# options_for_select([["Dollar", "$"], ["Kroner", "DKK"]])
# \n
#
# options_for_select([ "VISA", "MasterCard" ], "MasterCard")
# \n
#
# options_for_select({ "Basic" => "$20", "Plus" => "$40" }, "$40")
# \n
#
# options_for_select([ "VISA", "MasterCard", "Discover" ], ["VISA", "Discover"])
# \n\n
#
# You can optionally provide html attributes as the last element of the array.
#
# Examples:
# options_for_select([ "Denmark", ["USA", {:class=>'bold'}], "Sweden" ], ["USA", "Sweden"])
# \n\n
#
# options_for_select([["Dollar", "$", {:class=>"bold"}], ["Kroner", "DKK", {:onclick => "alert('HI');"}]])
# \n
#
# If you wish to specify disabled option tags, set +selected+ to be a hash, with :disabled being either a value
# or array of values to be disabled. In this case, you can use :selected to specify selected option tags.
#
# Examples:
# options_for_select(["Free", "Basic", "Advanced", "Super Platinum"], :disabled => "Super Platinum")
# \n\n\n
#
# options_for_select(["Free", "Basic", "Advanced", "Super Platinum"], :disabled => ["Advanced", "Super Platinum"])
# \n\n\n
#
# options_for_select(["Free", "Basic", "Advanced", "Super Platinum"], :selected => "Free", :disabled => "Super Platinum")
# \n\n\n
#
# NOTE: Only the option tags are returned, you have to wrap this call in a regular HTML select tag.

# Returns a string of option tags that have been compiled by iterating over the +collection+ and assigning the
# the result of a call to the +value_method+ as the option value and the +text_method+ as the option text.
# Example:
# options_from_collection_for_select(@people, 'id', 'name')
# This will output the same HTML as if you did this:
#
#
# This is more often than not used inside a #select_tag like this example:
# select_tag 'person', options_from_collection_for_select(@people, 'id', 'name')
#
# If +selected+ is specified as a value or array of values, the element(s) returning a match on +value_method+
# will be selected option tag(s).
#
# If +selected+ is specified as a Proc, those members of the collection that return true for the anonymous
# function are the selected values.
#
# +selected+ can also be a hash, specifying both :selected and/or :disabled values as required.
#
# Be sure to specify the same class as the +value_method+ when specifying selected or disabled options.
# Failure to do this will produce undesired results. Example:
# options_from_collection_for_select(@people, 'id', 'name', '1')
# Will not select a person with the id of 1 because 1 (an Integer) is not the same as '1' (a string)
# options_from_collection_for_select(@people, 'id', 'name', 1)

# * group_label_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a member of +collection+, returns a
# string to be used as the +label+ attribute for its tag.
# * +option_key_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of
# +collection+, returns a value to be used as the +value+ attribute for its tag.
# * +option_value_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of
# +collection+, returns a value to be used as the contents of its tag.
# * +selected_key+ - A value equal to the +value+ attribute for one of the tags,
# which will have the +selected+ attribute set. Corresponds to the return value of one of the calls
# to +option_key_method+. If +nil+, no selection is made. Can also be a hash if disabled values are

#
# Parameters:
# * +grouped_options+ - Accepts a nested array or hash of strings. The first value serves as the

# nested array of text-value pairs. See options_for_select for more info.
# Ex. ["North America",[["United States","US"],["Canada","CA"]]]
# * +selected_key+ - A value equal to the +value+ attribute for one of the tags,
# which will have the +selected+ attribute set. Note: It is possible for this value to match multiple options
# as you might have the same option in multiple groups. Each will then get selected="selected".
# * +prompt+ - set to true or a prompt string. When the select element doesn't have a value yet, this
# prepends an option with a generic prompt - "Please select" - or the given prompt string.

# Sample usage (Array):
# grouped_options = [
