module ActionView
module Helpers
# Provides a set of methods for making easy links and getting urls that depend on the controller and action. This means that
# you can use the same format for links in the views that you do in the controller. The different methods are even named
# synchronously, so link_to uses that same url as is generated by url_for, which again is the same url used for
# redirection in redirect_to.
module UrlHelper
# Returns the URL for the set of +options+ provided. This takes the same options
# as url_for. For a list, see the url_for documentation in link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000079.

# Creates a link tag of the given +name+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. See the valid options in
# link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000021. It's also possible to pass a string instead of an options hash to
# get a link tag that just points without consideration. If nil is passed as a name, the link itself will become the name.
# The html_options have a special feature for creating javascript confirm alerts where if you pass :confirm => 'Are you sure?',
# the link will be guarded with a JS popup asking that question. If the user accepts, the link is processed, otherwise not.
#
# Example:
# link_to "Delete this page", { :action => "destroy", :id => @page.id }, :confirm => "Are you sure?"

# Creates a link tag on the image residing at the +src+ using an URL created by the set of +options+. This takes the same options
# as url_for. For a list, see the url_for documentation in link:classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000079.
# It's also possible to pass a string instead of an options hash to get a link tag that just points without consideration.
# The html_options works jointly for the image and ahref tag by letting the following special values enter the options on
# the image and the rest goes to the ahref:
#
# * :alt - If no alt text is given, the file name part of the +src+ is used (capitalized and without the extension)
# * :size - Supplied as "XxY", so "30x45" becomes width="30" and height="45"
# * :border - Draws a border around the link
# * :align - Sets the alignment, no special features
#
# The +src+ can be supplied as a...
# * full path, like "/my_images/image.gif"
# * file name, like "rss.gif", that gets expanded to "/images/rss.gif"
# * file name without extension, like "logo", that gets expanded to "/images/logo.png"
#
# Examples:
# link_image_to "logo", { :controller => "home" }, :alt => "Homepage", :size => "45x80"
# link_image_to "delete", { :action => "destroy" }, :size => "10x10", :confirm => "Are you sure?", "class" => "admin"
#
# NOTE: This tag is deprecated. Combine the link_to and image_tag yourself instead, like:
# link_to(image_tag("rss", :size => "30x45", :border => 0), "http://www.example.com")
