module ActionController
  # == Routing
  #
  # The routing module provides URL rewriting in native Ruby. It's a way to
  # redirect incoming requests to controllers and actions. This replaces
  # mod_rewrite rules. Best of all, Rails' Routing works with any web server.
  # Routes are defined in routes.rb in your RAILS_ROOT/config directory.
  #
  # Consider the following route, installed by Rails when you generate your
  # application:
  #
  #   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
  #
  # This route states that it expects requests to consist of a
  # :controller followed by an :action that in turn is fed some :id.
  #
  # Suppose you get an incoming request for <tt>/blog/edit/22</tt>, you'll end up
  # with:
  #
  #   params = { :controller => 'blog',
  #              :action     => 'edit',
  #              :id         => '22'
  #           }
  #
  # Think of creating routes as drawing a map for your requests. The map tells
  # them where to go based on some predefined pattern:
  #
  #  ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  #   Pattern 1 tells some request to go to one place
  #   Pattern 2 tell them to go to another
  #   ...
  #  end
  #
  # The following symbols are special:
  #
  #   :controller maps to your controller name
  #   :action     maps to an action with your controllers
  #
  # Other names simply map to a parameter as in the case of <tt>:id</tt>.
  #
  # == Route priority
  #
  # Not all routes are created equally. Routes have priority defined by the
  # order of appearance of the routes in the routes.rb file. The priority goes
  # from top to bottom. The last route in that file is at the lowest priority
  # and will be applied last. If no route matches, 404 is returned.
  #
  # Within blocks, the empty pattern is at the highest priority.
  # In practice this works out nicely:
  #
  #  ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  #    map.with_options :controller => 'blog' do |blog|
  #      blog.show '',  :action => 'list'
  #    end
  #    map.connect ':controller/:action/:view'
  #  end
  #
  # In this case, invoking blog controller (with an URL like '/blog/')
  # without parameters will activate the 'list' action by default.
  #
  # == Defaults routes and default parameters
  #
  # Setting a default route is straightforward in Rails - you simply append a
  # Hash at the end of your mapping to set any default parameters.
  #
  # Example:
  #  ActionController::Routing:Routes.draw do |map|
  #    map.connect ':controller/:action/:id', :controller => 'blog'
  #  end
  #
  # This sets up +blog+ as the default controller if no other is specified.
  # This means visiting '/' would invoke the blog controller.
  #
  # More formally, you can define defaults in a route with the <tt>:defaults</tt> key.
  #
  #   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id', :action => 'show', :defaults => { :page => 'Dashboard' }
  #
  # == Named routes
  #
  # Routes can be named with the syntax <tt>map.name_of_route options</tt>,
  # allowing for easy reference within your source as +name_of_route_url+
  # for the full URL and +name_of_route_path+ for the URI path.
  #
  # Example:
  #   # In routes.rb
  #   map.login 'login', :controller => 'accounts', :action => 'login'
  #
  #   # With render, redirect_to, tests, etc.
  #   redirect_to login_url
  #
  # Arguments can be passed as well.
  #
  #   redirect_to show_item_path(:id => 25)
  #
  # Use <tt>map.root</tt> as a shorthand to name a route for the root path "".
  #
  #   # In routes.rb
  #   map.root :controller => 'blogs'
  #
  #   # would recognize http://www.example.com/ as
  #   params = { :controller => 'blogs', :action => 'index' }
  #
  #   # and provide these named routes
  #   root_url   # => 'http://www.example.com/'
  #   root_path  # => ''
  #
  # You can also specify an already-defined named route in your map.root call:
  #
  #   # In routes.rb
  #   map.new_session :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new'
  #   map.root :new_session
  #
  # Note: when using +with_options+, the route is simply named after the
  # method you call on the block parameter rather than map.
  #
  #   # In routes.rb
  #   map.with_options :controller => 'blog' do |blog|
  #     blog.show    '',            :action  => 'list'
  #     blog.delete  'delete/:id',  :action  => 'delete',
  #     blog.edit    'edit/:id',    :action  => 'edit'
  #   end
  #
  #   # provides named routes for show, delete, and edit
  #   link_to @article.title, show_path(:id => @article.id)
  #
  # == Pretty URLs
  #
  # Routes can generate pretty URLs. For example:
  #
  #  map.connect 'articles/:year/:month/:day',
  #              :controller => 'articles',
  #              :action     => 'find_by_date',
  #              :year       => /\d{4}/,
  #              :month      => /\d{1,2}/,
  #              :day        => /\d{1,2}/
  #
  #  # Using the route above, the url below maps to:
  #  # params = {:year => '2005', :month => '11', :day => '06'}
  #  # http://localhost:3000/articles/2005/11/06
  #
  # == Regular Expressions and parameters
  # You can specify a regular expression to define a format for a parameter.
  #
  #  map.geocode 'geocode/:postalcode', :controller => 'geocode',
  #              :action => 'show', :postalcode => /\d{5}(-\d{4})?/
  #
  # or, more formally:
  #
  #   map.geocode 'geocode/:postalcode', :controller => 'geocode',
  #               :action => 'show', :requirements => { :postalcode => /\d{5}(-\d{4})?/ }
  #
  # Formats can include the 'ignorecase' and 'extended syntax' regular
  # expression modifiers:
  #
  #   map.geocode 'geocode/:postalcode', :controller => 'geocode',
  #               :action => 'show', :postalcode => /hx\d\d\s\d[a-z]{2}/i
  #
  #   map.geocode 'geocode/:postalcode', :controller => 'geocode',
  #               :action => 'show',:requirements => {
  #                 :postalcode => /# Postcode format
  #                                 \d{5} #Prefix
  #                                 (-\d{4})? #Suffix
  #                                 /x
  #               }
  #
  # Using the multiline match modifier will raise an ArgumentError.
  # Encoding regular expression modifiers are silently ignored. The
  # match will always use the default encoding or ASCII.
  #
  # == Route globbing
  #
  # Specifying <tt>*[string]</tt> as part of a rule like:
  #
  #  map.connect '*path' , :controller => 'blog' , :action => 'unrecognized?'
  #
  # will glob all remaining parts of the route that were not recognized earlier. This idiom
  # must appear at the end of the path. The globbed values are in <tt>params[:path]</tt> in
  # this case.
  #
  # == Route conditions
  #
  # With conditions you can define restrictions on routes. Currently the only valid condition is <tt>:method</tt>.
  #
  # * <tt>:method</tt> - Allows you to specify which method can access the route. Possible values are <tt>:post</tt>,
  #   <tt>:get</tt>, <tt>:put</tt>, <tt>:delete</tt> and <tt>:any</tt>. The default value is <tt>:any</tt>, 
  #   <tt>:any</tt> means that any method can access the route.
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   map.connect 'post/:id', :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show',
  #               :conditions => { :method => :get }
  #   map.connect 'post/:id', :controller => 'posts', :action => 'create_comment',
  #               :conditions => { :method => :post }
  #
  # Now, if you POST to <tt>/posts/:id</tt>, it will route to the <tt>create_comment</tt> action. A GET on the same
  # URL will route to the <tt>show</tt> action.
  # 
  # == Reloading routes
  #
  # You can reload routes if you feel you must:
  #
  #  ActionController::Routing::Routes.reload
  #
  # This will clear all named routes and reload routes.rb if the file has been modified from
  # last load. To absolutely force reloading, use +reload!+.
  #
  # == Testing Routes
  #
  # The two main methods for testing your routes:
  #
  # === +assert_routing+
  #
  #  def test_movie_route_properly_splits
  #   opts = {:controller => "plugin", :action => "checkout", :id => "2"}
  #   assert_routing "plugin/checkout/2", opts
  #  end
  #
  # +assert_routing+ lets you test whether or not the route properly resolves into options.
  #
  # === +assert_recognizes+
  #
  #  def test_route_has_options
  #   opts = {:controller => "plugin", :action => "show", :id => "12"}
  #   assert_recognizes opts, "/plugins/show/12"
  #  end
  #
  # Note the subtle difference between the two: +assert_routing+ tests that
  # a URL fits options while +assert_recognizes+ tests that a URL
  # breaks into parameters properly.
  #
  # In tests you can simply pass the URL or named route to +get+ or +post+.
  #
  #  def send_to_jail
  #    get '/jail'
  #    assert_response :success
  #    assert_template "jail/front"
  #  end
  #
  #  def goes_to_login
  #    get login_url
  #    #...
  #  end
  #
  # == View a list of all your routes
  #
  # Run <tt>rake routes</tt>.
