module ActionController #:nodoc:

  # This module provides a class-level method for specifying that certain
  # actions are guarded against being called without certain prerequisites
  # being met. This is essentially a special kind of before_filter.
  #
  # An action may be guarded against being invoked without certain request
  # parameters being set, or without certain session values existing.
  #
  # When a verification is violated, values may be inserted into the flash, and
  # a specified redirection is triggered.
  #
  # Usage:
  #
  #   class GlobalController < ActionController::Base
  #     # prevent the #update_settings action from being invoked unless
  #     # the 'admin_privileges' request parameter exists.
  #     verify :params => "admin_privileges", :only => :update_post,
  #            :redirect_to => { :action => "settings" }
  #
  #     # disallow a post from being updated if there was no information
  #     # submitted with the post, and if there is no active post in the
  #     # session, and if there is no "note" key in the flash.
  #     verify :params => "post", :session => "post", "flash" => "note",
  #            :only => :update_post,
  #            :add_flash => { "alert" => "Failed to create your message" },
  #            :redirect_to => :category_url

    module ClassMethods
      # Verify the given actions so that if certain prerequisites are not met,
      # the user is redirected to a different action. The +options+ parameter
      # is a hash consisting of the following key/value pairs:
      #
      # * <tt>:params</tt>: a single key or an array of keys that must
      #   be in the @params hash in order for the action(s) to be safely
      #   called.
      # * <tt>:session</tt>: a single key or an array of keys that must
      #   be in the @session in order for the action(s) to be safely called.
      # * <tt>:flash</tt>: a single key or an array of keys that must
      #   be in the flash in order for the action(s) to be safely called.
      # * <tt>:add_flash</tt>: a hash of name/value pairs that should be merged
      #   into the session's flash if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied.
      # * <tt>:redirect_to</tt>: the redirection parameters to be used when
      #   redirecting if the prerequisites cannot be satisfied.
      # * <tt>:only</tt>: only apply this verification to the actions specified in
      #   the associated array (may also be a single value).
      # * <tt>:except</tt>: do not apply this verification to the actions specified in
      #   the associated array (may also be a single value).
