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.

# 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?"

# You can also make it difficult for spiders to harvest email address by obfuscating them.
# Examples:
# mail_to "me@domain.com", "My email", :encode => "javascript" # =>
#
#
# mail_to "me@domain.com", "My email", :encode => "hex" # =>
# My email

# corresponding +cc+, +bcc+, +subject+, and +body+ html_options keys. Each of these options are URI escaped and then appended to
# the email_address before being output. Be aware that javascript keywords will not be escaped and may break this feature
# when encoding with javascript.
# Examples:
# mail_to "me@domain.com", "My email", :cc => "ccaddress@domain.com", :bcc => "bccaddress@domain.com", :subject => "This is an example email", :body => "This is the body of the message." # =>
