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. def url_for(options = {}, *parameters_for_method_reference) options = { :only_path => true }.update(options.symbolize_keys) if options.kind_of? Hash @controller.send(:url_for, options, *parameters_for_method_reference) end # 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?" def link_to(name, options = {}, html_options = nil, *parameters_for_method_reference) html_options = (html_options || {}).stringify_keys convert_confirm_option_to_javascript!(html_options) if options.is_a?(String) content_tag "a", name || options, (html_options || {}).merge("href" => options) else content_tag( "a", name || url_for(options, *parameters_for_method_reference), (html_options || {}).merge("href" => url_for(options, *parameters_for_method_reference)) ) end end # Generates a form containing a sole button that submits to the # URL given by _options_. Use this method instead of +link_to+ # for actions that do not have the safe HTTP GET semantics # implied by using a hypertext link. # # The parameters are the same as for +link_to+. Any _html_options_ # that you pass will be applied to the inner +input+ element. # In particular, pass # # :disabled => true/false # # as part of _html_options_ to control whether the button is # disabled. The generated form element is given the class # 'button-to', to which you can attach CSS styles for display # purposes. # # Example 1: # # # inside of controller for "feeds" # button_to "Edit", :action => 'edit', :id => 3 # # Generates the following HTML (sans formatting): # #
# # Example 2: # # button_to "Destroy", { :action => 'destroy', :id => 3 }, # :confirm => "Are you sure?" # # Generates the following HTML (sans formatting): # # # # *NOTE*: This method generates HTML code that represents a form. # Forms are "block" content, which means that you should not try to # insert them into your HTML where only inline content is expected. # For example, you can legally insert a form inside of a +div+ or # +td+ element or in between +p+ elements, but not in the middle of # a run of text, nor can you place a form within another form. # (Bottom line: Always validate your HTML before going public.) def button_to(name, options = {}, html_options = nil) html_options = (html_options || {}).stringify_keys convert_boolean_attributes!(html_options, %w( disabled )) convert_confirm_option_to_javascript!(html_options) url, name = options.is_a?(String) ?
