module ActionController
  # Polymorphic URL helpers are methods for smart resolution to a named route call when
  # given an Active Record model instance. They are to be used in combination with
  # ActionController::Resources.
  #
  # These methods are useful when you want to generate correct URL or path to a RESTful
  # resource without having to know the exact type of the record in question.
  #
  # Nested resources and/or namespaces are also supported, as illustrated in the example:
  #
  #   polymorphic_url([:admin, @article, @comment])
  #
  # results in:
  #   
  #   admin_article_comment_url(@article, @comment)
  #
  # == Usage within the framework
  #
  # Polymorphic URL helpers are used in a number of places throughout the Rails framework:
  #
  # * <tt>url_for</tt>, so you can use it with a record as the argument, e.g.
  #   <tt>url_for(@article)</tt>;
  # * ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper uses <tt>polymorphic_path</tt>, so you can write
  #   <tt>form_for(@article)</tt> without having to specify <tt>:url</tt> parameter for the form
  #   action;
  # * <tt>redirect_to</tt> (which, in fact, uses <tt>url_for</tt>) so you can write
  #   <tt>redirect_to(post)</tt> in your controllers;
  # * ActionView::Helpers::AtomFeedHelper, so you don't have to explicitly specify URLs
  #   for feed entries.
  #
  # == Prefixed polymorphic helpers
  #
  # In addition to <tt>polymorphic_url</tt> and <tt>polymorphic_path</tt> methods, a
  # number of prefixed helpers are available as a shorthand to <tt>:action => "..."</tt>
  # in options. Those are:
  #
  # * <tt>edit_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>edit_polymorphic_path</tt>
  # * <tt>new_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>new_polymorphic_path</tt>
  #
  # Example usage:
  #
  #   edit_polymorphic_path(@post)              # => "/posts/1/edit"
  #   polymorphic_path(@post, :format => :pdf)  # => "/posts/1.pdf"
  module PolymorphicRoutes
    # Constructs a call to a named RESTful route for the given record and returns the
    # resulting URL string. For example:
    #
    #   # calls post_url(post)
    #   polymorphic_url(post) # => "http://example.com/posts/1"
    #   polymorphic_url([blog, post]) # => "http://example.com/blogs/1/posts/1"
    #   polymorphic_url([:admin, blog, post]) # => "http://example.com/admin/blogs/1/posts/1"
    #   polymorphic_url([user, :blog, post]) # => "http://example.com/users/1/blog/posts/1"
    #   polymorphic_url(Comment) # => "http://example.com/comments"
    #
    # ==== Options
    #
    # * <tt>:action</tt> - Specifies the action prefix for the named route:
    #   <tt>:new</tt> or <tt>:edit</tt>. Default is no prefix.
    # * <tt>:routing_type</tt> - Allowed values are <tt>:path</tt> or <tt>:url</tt>.
    #   Default is <tt>:url</tt>.
    #
    # ==== Examples
    #
    #   # an Article record
    #   polymorphic_url(record)  # same as article_url(record)
    #
    #   # a Comment record
    #   polymorphic_url(record)  # same as comment_url(record)
    #
    #   # it recognizes new records and maps to the collection
    #   record = Comment.new
    #   polymorphic_url(record)  # same as comments_url()
    #
    #   # the class of a record will also map to the collection
    #   polymorphic_url(Comment) # same as comments_url()
    #
