module ActionView
  # = Action View Form Helpers
  module Helpers
    # Form helpers are designed to make working with resources much easier
    # compared to using vanilla HTML.
    #
    # Forms for models are created with +form_for+. That method yields a form
    # builder that knows the model the form is about. The form builder is thus
    # able to generate default values for input fields that correspond to model
    # attributes, and also convenient names, IDs, endpoints, etc.
    #
    # Conventions in the generated field names allow controllers to receive form
    # data nicely structured in +params+ with no effort on your side.
    #
    # For example, to create a new person you typically set up a new instance of
    # +Person+ in the <tt>PeopleController#new</tt> action, <tt>@person</tt>, and
    # pass it to +form_for+:
    #
    #   <%= form_for @person do |f| %>
    #     <%= f.label :first_name %>:
    #     <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />
    #
    #     <%= f.label :last_name %>:
    #     <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />
    #
    #     <%= f.submit %>
    #   <% end %>
    #
    # The HTML generated for this would be (modulus formatting):
    #
    #   <form action="/people" class="new_person" id="new_person" method="post">
    #     <div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
    #       <input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="NrOp5bsjoLRuK8IW5+dQEYjKGUJDe7TQoZVvq95Wteg=" />
    #     </div>
    #     <label for="person_first_name">First name</label>:
    #     <input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]" size="30" type="text" /><br />
    #
    #     <label for="person_last_name">Last name</label>:
    #     <input id="person_last_name" name="person[last_name]" size="30" type="text" /><br />
    #
    #     <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create Person" />
    #   </form>
    #
    # As you see, the HTML reflects knowledge about the resource in several spots,
    # like the path the form should be submitted to, or the names of the input fields.
    #
    # In particular, thanks to the conventions followed in the generated field names, the
    # controller gets a nested hash <tt>params[:person]</tt> with the person attributes
    # set in the form. That hash is ready to be passed to <tt>Person.create</tt>:
    #
    #   if @person = Person.create(params[:person])
    #     # success
    #   else
    #     # error handling
    #   end
    #
    # Interestingly, the exact same view code in the previous example can be used to edit
    # a person. If <tt>@person</tt> is an existing record with name "John Smith" and ID 256,
    # the code above as is would yield instead:
    #
    #   <form action="/people/256" class="edit_person" id="edit_person_256" method="post">
    #     <div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
    #       <input name="_method" type="hidden" value="put" />
    #       <input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="NrOp5bsjoLRuK8IW5+dQEYjKGUJDe7TQoZVvq95Wteg=" />
    #     </div>
    #     <label for="person_first_name">First name</label>:
    #     <input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]" size="30" type="text" value="John" /><br />
    #
    #     <label for="person_last_name">Last name</label>:
    #     <input id="person_last_name" name="person[last_name]" size="30" type="text" value="Smith" /><br />
    #
    #     <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Update Person" />
    #   </form>
    #
    # Note that the endpoint, default values, and submit button label are tailored for <tt>@person</tt>.
    # That works that way because the involved helpers know whether the resource is a new record or not,
    # and generate HTML accordingly.
    #
    # The controller would receive the form data again in <tt>params[:person]</tt>, ready to be
    # passed to <tt>Person#update_attributes</tt>:
    #
    #   if @person.update_attributes(params[:person])
    #     # success
    #   else
    #     # error handling
    #   end
    #
    # That's how you typically work with resources.
    module FormHelper
      extend ActiveSupport::Concern

      include FormTagHelper
      include UrlHelper

      # Converts the given object to an ActiveModel compliant one.
      def convert_to_model(object)
        object.respond_to?(:to_model) ? object.to_model : object
      end

      # Creates a form and a scope around a specific model object that is used
      # as a base for questioning about values for the fields.
      #
      # Rails provides succinct resource-oriented form generation with +form_for+
      # like this:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @offer do |f| %>
      #     <%= f.label :version, 'Version' %>:
      #     <%= f.text_field :version %><br />
      #     <%= f.label :author, 'Author' %>:
      #     <%= f.text_field :author %><br />
      #     <%= f.submit %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # There, +form_for+ is able to generate the rest of RESTful form
      # parameters based on introspection on the record, but to understand what
      # it does we need to dig first into the alternative generic usage it is
      # based upon.
      #
      # === Generic form_for
      #
      # The generic way to call +form_for+ yields a form builder around a
      # model:
      #
      #   <%= form_for :person do |f| %>
      #     First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />
      #     Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />
      #     Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %><br />
      #     Admin?    : <%= f.check_box :admin %><br />
      #     <%= f.submit %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # There, the argument is a symbol or string with the name of the
      # object the form is about.
      #
      # The form builder acts as a regular form helper that somehow carries the
      # model. Thus, the idea is that
      #
      #   <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
      #
      # gets expanded to
      #
      #   <%= text_field :person, :first_name %>
      #
      # The rightmost argument to +form_for+ is an
      # optional hash of options:
      #
      # * <tt>:url</tt> - The URL the form is submitted to. It takes the same
      #   fields you pass to +url_for+ or +link_to+. In particular you may pass
      #   here a named route directly as well. Defaults to the current action.
      # * <tt>:namespace</tt> - A namespace for your form to ensure uniqueness of
      #   id attributes on form elements. The namespace attribute will be prefixed
      #   with underscore on the generated HTML id.
      # * <tt>:html</tt> - Optional HTML attributes for the form tag.
      #
      # Also note that +form_for+ doesn't create an exclusive scope. It's still
      # possible to use both the stand-alone FormHelper methods and methods
      # from FormTagHelper. For example:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |f| %>
      #     First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
      #     Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
      #     Biography : <%= text_area :person, :biography %>
      #     Admin?    : <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", @person.company.admin? %>
      #     <%= f.submit %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and DateHelper that
      # are designed to work with an object as base, like
      # FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
      #
      # === Resource-oriented style
      #
      # As we said above, in addition to manually configuring the +form_for+
      # call, you can rely on automated resource identification, which will use
      # the conventions and named routes of that approach. This is the
      # preferred way to use +form_for+ nowadays.
      #
      # For example, if <tt>@post</tt> is an existing record you want to edit
      #
      #   <%= form_for @post do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # is equivalent to something like:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @post, :as => :post, :url => post_path(@post), :method => :put, :html => { :class => "edit_post", :id => "edit_post_45" } do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # And for new records
      #
      #   <%= form_for(Post.new) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # is equivalent to something like:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @post, :as => :post, :url => posts_path, :html => { :class => "new_post", :id => "new_post" } do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # You can also overwrite the individual conventions, like this:
      #
      #   <%= form_for(@post, :url => super_posts_path) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # You can also set the answer format, like this:
      #
      #   <%= form_for(@post, :format => :json) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # If you have an object that needs to be represented as a different
      # parameter, like a Person that acts as a Client:
      #
      #   <%= form_for(@person, :as => :client) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # For namespaced routes, like +admin_post_url+:
      #
      #   <%= form_for([:admin, @post]) do |f| %>
      #    ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # If your resource has associations defined, for example, you want to add comments
      # to the document given that the routes are set correctly:
      #
      #   <%= form_for([@document, @comment]) do |f| %>
      #    ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # Where <tt>@document = Document.find(params[:id])</tt> and
      # <tt>@comment = Comment.new</tt>.
      #
      # === Setting the method
      #
      # You can force the form to use the full array of HTTP verbs by setting
      #
      #    :method => (:get|:post|:put|:delete)
      #
      # in the options hash. If the verb is not GET or POST, which are natively supported by HTML forms, the
      # form will be set to POST and a hidden input called _method will carry the intended verb for the server
      # to interpret.
      #
      # === Unobtrusive JavaScript
      #
      # Specifying:
      #
      #    :remote => true
      #
      # in the options hash creates a form that will allow the unobtrusive JavaScript drivers to modify its
      # behavior. The expected default behavior is an XMLHttpRequest in the background instead of the regular
      # POST arrangement, but ultimately the behavior is the choice of the JavaScript driver implementor.
      # Even though it's using JavaScript to serialize the form elements, the form submission will work just like
      # a regular submission as viewed by the receiving side (all elements available in <tt>params</tt>).
      #
      # Example:
      #
      #   <%= form_for(@post, :remote => true) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # The HTML generated for this would be:
      #
      #   <form action='http://www.example.com' method='post' data-remote='true'>
      #     <div style='margin:0;padding:0;display:inline'>
      #       <input name='_method' type='hidden' value='put' />
      #     </div>
      #     ...
      #   </form>
      #
      # === Removing hidden model id's
      #
      # The form_for method automatically includes the model id as a hidden field in the form.
      # This is used to maintain the correlation between the form data and its associated model.
      # Some ORM systems do not use IDs on nested models so in this case you want to be able
      # to disable the hidden id.
      #
      # In the following example the Post model has many Comments stored within it in a NoSQL database,
      # thus there is no primary key for comments.
      #
      # Example:
      #
      #   <%= form_for(@post) do |f| %>
      #     <% f.fields_for(:comments, :include_id => false) do |cf| %>
      #       ...
      #     <% end %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # === Customized form builders
      #
      # You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass
      # FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers, then use your
      # custom builder. For example, let's say you made a helper to
      # automatically add labels to form inputs.
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person, :url => { :action => "create" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %>
      #     <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
      #     <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
      #     <%= f.text_area :biography %>
      #     <%= f.check_box :admin %>
      #     <%= f.submit %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # In this case, if you use this:
      #
      #   <%= render f %>
      #
      # The rendered template is <tt>people/_labelling_form</tt> and the local
      # variable referencing the form builder is called
      # <tt>labelling_form</tt>.
      #
      # The custom FormBuilder class is automatically merged with the options
      # of a nested fields_for call, unless it's explicitly set.
      #
      # In many cases you will want to wrap the above in another helper, so you
      # could do something like the following:
      #
      #   def labelled_form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &block)
      #     options = args.extract_options!
      #     form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *(args << options.merge(:builder => LabellingFormBuilder)), &block)
      #   end
      #
      # If you don't need to attach a form to a model instance, then check out
      # FormTagHelper#form_tag.
      #
      # === Form to external resources
      #
      # When you build forms to external resources sometimes you need to set an authenticity token or just render a form
      # without it, for example when you submit data to a payment gateway number and types of fields could be limited.
      #
      # To set an authenticity token you need to pass an <tt>:authenticity_token</tt> parameter
      #
      #   <%= form_for @invoice, :url => external_url, :authenticity_token => 'external_token' do |f|
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # If you don't want to an authenticity token field be rendered at all just pass <tt>false</tt>:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @invoice, :url => external_url, :authenticity_token => false do |f|
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      def form_for(record, options = {}, &block)
        raise ArgumentError, "Missing block" unless block_given?

        options[:html] ||= {}

      # === Generic Examples
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %>
      #     Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %>
      #
      #     <%= fields_for @person.permission do |permission_fields| %>
      #       Admin?  : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
      #     <% end %>
      #
      #     <%= f.submit %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # ...or if you have an object that needs to be represented as a different
      # parameter, like a Client that acts as a Person:
      #
      #   <%= fields_for :person, @client do |permission_fields| %>
      #     Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # ...or if you don't have an object, just a name of the parameter:
      #
      #   <%= fields_for :person do |permission_fields| %>
      #     Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # Note: This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and
      # DateHelper that are designed to work with an object as base, like
      # FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
      #
      # === Nested Attributes Examples
      #
      # When the object belonging to the current scope has a nested attribute
      # writer for a certain attribute, fields_for will yield a new scope
      # for that attribute. This allows you to create forms that set or change
      # the attributes of a parent object and its associations in one go.
      #
      # Nested attribute writers are normal setter methods named after an
      # association. The most common way of defining these writers is either
      # with +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ in a model definition or by
      # defining a method with the proper name. For example: the attribute
      # writer for the association <tt>:address</tt> is called
      # <tt>address_attributes=</tt>.
      #
      # Whether a one-to-one or one-to-many style form builder will be yielded
      # depends on whether the normal reader method returns a _single_ object
      # or an _array_ of objects.
      #
      # ==== One-to-one
      #
      # Consider a Person class which returns a _single_ Address from the
      # <tt>address</tt> reader method and responds to the
      # <tt>address_attributes=</tt> writer method:
      #
      #   class Person
      #     def address
      #       @address
      #     end
      #
      #     def address_attributes=(attributes)
      #       # Process the attributes hash
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      # This model can now be used with a nested fields_for, like so:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     ...
      #     <%= person_form.fields_for :address do |address_fields| %>
      #       Street  : <%= address_fields.text_field :street %>
      #       Zip code: <%= address_fields.text_field :zip_code %>
      #     <% end %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # When address is already an association on a Person you can use
      # +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     has_one :address
      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :address
      #   end
      #
      # If you want to destroy the associated model through the form, you have
      # to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt> option for
      # +accepts_nested_attributes_for+:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     has_one :address
      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :address, :allow_destroy => true
      #   end
      #
      # Now, when you use a form element with the <tt>_destroy</tt> parameter,
      # with a value that evaluates to +true+, you will destroy the associated
      # model (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'):
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     ...
      #     <%= person_form.fields_for :address do |address_fields| %>
      #       ...
      #       Delete: <%= address_fields.check_box :_destroy %>
      #     <% end %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # ==== One-to-many
      #
      # Consider a Person class which returns an _array_ of Project instances
      # from the <tt>projects</tt> reader method and responds to the
      # <tt>projects_attributes=</tt> writer method:
      #
      #   class Person
      #     def projects
      #       [@project1, @project2]
      #     end
      #
      #     def projects_attributes=(attributes)
      #       # Process the attributes hash
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      # Note that the <tt>projects_attributes=</tt> writer method is in fact
      # required for fields_for to correctly identify <tt>:projects</tt> as a
      # collection, and the correct indices to be set in the form markup.
      #
      # When projects is already an association on Person you can use
      # +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     has_many :projects
      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :projects
      #   end
      #
      # This model can now be used with a nested fields_for. The block given to
      # the nested fields_for call will be repeated for each instance in the
      # collection:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     ...
      #     <%= person_form.fields_for :projects do |project_fields| %>
      #       <% if project_fields.object.active? %>
      #         Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
      #       <% end %>
      #     <% end %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # It's also possible to specify the instance to be used:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     ...
      #     <% @person.projects.each do |project| %>
      #       <% if project.active? %>
      #         <%= person_form.fields_for :projects, project do |project_fields| %>
      #           Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
      #         <% end %>
      #       <% end %>
      #     <% end %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # Or a collection to be used:
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     ...
      #     <%= person_form.fields_for :projects, @active_projects do |project_fields| %>
      #       Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
      #     <% end %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # When projects is already an association on Person you can use
      # +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     has_many :projects
      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :projects
      #   end
      #
      # If you want to destroy any of the associated models through the
      # form, you have to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt>
      # option for +accepts_nested_attributes_for+:
      #
      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     has_many :projects
      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :projects, :allow_destroy => true
      #   end
      #
      # This will allow you to specify which models to destroy in the
      # attributes hash by adding a form element for the <tt>_destroy</tt>
      # parameter with a value that evaluates to +true+
      # (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'):
      #
      #   <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
      #     ...
      #     <%= person_form.fields_for :projects do |project_fields| %>
      #       Delete: <%= project_fields.check_box :_destroy %>
      #     <% end %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      def fields_for(record_name, record_object = nil, options = {}, &block)
        builder = instantiate_builder(record_name, record_object, options, &block)

      # Returns a label tag tailored for labelling an input field for a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object
      # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). The text of label will default to the attribute name unless a translation
      # is found in the current I18n locale (through helpers.label.<modelname>.<attribute>) or you specify it explicitly.
      # Additional options on the label tag can be passed as a hash with +options+. These options will be tagged
      # onto the HTML as an HTML element attribute as in the example shown, except for the <tt>:value</tt> option, which is designed to
      # target labels for radio_button tags (where the value is used in the ID of the input tag).
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   label(:post, :title)
      #   # => <label for="post_title">Title</label>
      #
      #   You can localize your labels based on model and attribute names.
      #   For example you can define the following in your locale (e.g. en.yml)
      #
      #   helpers:
      #     label:
      #       post:
      #         body: "Write your entire text here"
      #
      #   Which then will result in
      #
      #   label(:post, :body)
      #   # => <label for="post_body">Write your entire text here</label>
      #
      # Localization can also be based purely on the translation of the attribute-name
      # (if you are using ActiveRecord):
      #
      #   activerecord:
      #     attributes:
      #       post:
      #         cost: "Total cost"
      #
      #   label(:post, :cost)

      # Returns a checkbox tag tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object

      # Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a hash with +options+. The +checked_value+ defaults to 1
      # while the default +unchecked_value+ is set to 0 which is convenient for boolean values.
      #
      # ==== Gotcha
      #
      # The HTML specification says unchecked check boxes are not successful, and
      # thus web browsers do not send them. Unfortunately this introduces a gotcha:
      # if an +Invoice+ model has a +paid+ flag, and in the form that edits a paid
      # invoice the user unchecks its check box, no +paid+ parameter is sent. So,
      # any mass-assignment idiom like
      #
      #   @invoice.update_attributes(params[:invoice])
      #
      # wouldn't update the flag.
      #
      # To prevent this the helper generates an auxiliary hidden field before
      # the very check box. The hidden field has the same name and its
      # attributes mimic an unchecked check box.
      #
      # This way, the client either sends only the hidden field (representing
      # the check box is unchecked), or both fields. Since the HTML specification
      # says key/value pairs have to be sent in the same order they appear in the
      # form, and parameters extraction gets the last occurrence of any repeated
      # key in the query string, that works for ordinary forms.
      #
      # Unfortunately that workaround does not work when the check box goes
      # within an array-like parameter, as in
      #
      #   <%= fields_for "project[invoice_attributes][]", invoice, :index => nil do |form| %>
      #     <%= form.check_box :paid %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # because parameter name repetition is precisely what Rails seeks to distinguish
      # the elements of the array. For each item with a checked check box you
      # get an extra ghost item with only that attribute, assigned to "0".
      #
      # In that case it is preferable to either use +check_box_tag+ or to use
      # hashes instead of arrays.
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   # Let's say that @post.validated? is 1:
      #   check_box("post", "validated")
      #   # => <input name="post[validated]" type="hidden" value="0" />
