module Helpers
# Provides a set of helpers for calling Prototype JavaScript functions,
# including functionality to call remote methods using
# Ajax[http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php].
# This means that you can call actions in your controllers without
# reloading the page, but still update certain parts of it using
# injections into the DOM. The common use case is having a form that adds
# a new element to a list without reloading the page.
#
# To be able to use these helpers, you must include the Prototype
# JavaScript framework in your pages. See the documentation for
# ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper for more information on including
# the necessary JavaScript.
#
# See link_to_remote for documentation of options common to all Ajax
# helpers.
#
# See also ActionView::Helpers::ScriptaculousHelper for helpers which work
# with the Scriptaculous controls and visual effects library.
#
# See JavaScriptGenerator for information on updating multiple elements
# on the page in an Ajax response.
module PrototypeHelper
unless const_defined? :CALLBACKS
CALLBACKS = Set.new([ :uninitialized, :loading, :loaded,
:interactive, :complete, :failure, :success ] +
(100..599).to_a)
AJAX_OPTIONS = Set.new([ :before, :after, :condition, :url,
:asynchronous, :method, :insertion, :position,
:form, :with, :update, :script ]).merge(CALLBACKS)
end
# Returns a link to a remote action defined by <tt>options[:url]</tt>
# (using the url_for format) that's called in the background using
# XMLHttpRequest. The result of that request can then be inserted into a
# DOM object whose id can be specified with <tt>options[:update]</tt>.
# Usually, the result would be a partial prepared by the controller with
# either render_partial or render_partial_collection.
#
# Examples:
# link_to_remote "Delete this post", :update => "posts",
# :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id }
# link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails",
# :url => { :action => "list_emails" })
#
# You can also specify a hash for <tt>options[:update]</tt> to allow for
# easy redirection of output to an other DOM element if a server-side
# error occurs:
#
# Example:
# link_to_remote "Delete this post",
# :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id },
# :update => { :success => "posts", :failure => "error" }
#
# Optionally, you can use the <tt>options[:position]</tt> parameter to
# influence how the target DOM element is updated. It must be one of
# <tt>:before</tt>, <tt>:top</tt>, <tt>:bottom</tt>, or <tt>:after</tt>.
#
# By default, these remote requests are processed asynchronous during
# which various JavaScript callbacks can be triggered (for progress
# indicators and the likes). All callbacks get access to the
# <tt>request</tt> object, which holds the underlying XMLHttpRequest.
#
# To access the server response, use <tt>request.responseText</tt>, to
# find out the HTTP status, use <tt>request.status</tt>.
#
# Example:
# link_to_remote word,
# :url => { :action => "undo", :n => word_counter },
# :complete => "undoRequestCompleted(request)"
#
# The callbacks that may be specified are (in order):
#
# <tt>:loading</tt>:: Called when the remote document is being
# loaded with data by the browser.
# <tt>:loaded</tt>:: Called when the browser has finished loading
# the remote document.
# <tt>:interactive</tt>:: Called when the user can interact with the
# remote document, even though it has not
# finished loading.
# <tt>:success</tt>:: Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed,
# and the HTTP status code is in the 2XX range.
# <tt>:failure</tt>:: Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed,
# and the HTTP status code is not in the 2XX
# range.
# <tt>:complete</tt>:: Called when the XMLHttpRequest is complete
# (fires after success/failure if they are
# present).
#
# You can further refine <tt>:success</tt> and <tt>:failure</tt> by
# adding additional callbacks for specific status codes.
#
# Example:
# link_to_remote word,
# :url => { :action => "action" },
# 404 => "alert('Not found...? Wrong URL...?')",
# :failure => "alert('HTTP Error ' + request.status + '!')"
#
# A status code callback overrides the success/failure handlers if
# present.
#
# If you for some reason or another need synchronous processing (that'll
# block the browser while the request is happening), you can specify
# <tt>options[:type] = :synchronous</tt>.
#
# You can customize further browser side call logic by passing in
# JavaScript code snippets via some optional parameters. In their order
# of use these are:
#
# <tt>:confirm</tt>:: Adds confirmation dialog.
# <tt>:condition</tt>:: Perform remote request conditionally
# by this expression. Use this to
# describe browser-side conditions when
# request should not be initiated.
# <tt>:before</tt>:: Called before request is initiated.
# <tt>:after</tt>:: Called immediately after request was
# initiated and before <tt>:loading</tt>.
# <tt>:submit</tt>:: Specifies the DOM element ID that's used
# as the parent of the form elements. By
# default this is the current form, but
# it could just as well be the ID of a
# table row or any other DOM element.
def link_to_remote(name, options = {}, html_options = {})
link_to_function(name, remote_function(options), html_options)
end
# Periodically calls the specified url (<tt>options[:url]</tt>) every
# <tt>options[:frequency]</tt> seconds (default is 10). Usually used to
# update a specified div (<tt>options[:update]</tt>) with the results
# of the remote call. The options for specifying the target with :url
# and defining callbacks is the same as link_to_remote.
def periodically_call_remote(options = {})
frequency = options[:frequency] || 10 # every ten seconds by default
code = "new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {#{remote_function(options)}}, #{frequency})"
javascript_tag(code)
end
# Returns a form tag that will submit using XMLHttpRequest in the
# background instead of the regular reloading POST arrangement. 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>). The options for
# specifying the target with :url and defining callbacks is the same as
# link_to_remote.
#
# A "fall-through" target for browsers that doesn't do JavaScript can be
# specified with the :action/:method options on :html.
#
# Example:
# form_remote_tag :html => { :action =>
# url_for(:controller => "some", :action => "place") }
#
# The Hash passed to the :html key is equivalent to the options (2nd)
# argument in the FormTagHelper.form_tag method.
#
# By default the fall-through action is the same as the one specified in
# the :url (and the default method is :post).
def form_remote_tag(options = {})
options[:form] = true
options[:html] ||= {}
options[:html][:onsubmit] = "#{remote_function(options)}; return false;"
form_tag(options[:html].delete(:action) || url_for(options[:url]), options[:html])
end
# Works like form_remote_tag, but uses form_for semantics.
def remote_form_for(object_name, *args, &proc)
options = args.last.is_a?(Hash) ? args.pop : {}
concat(form_remote_tag(options), proc.binding)
fields_for(object_name, *(args << options), &proc)

end
alias_method :form_remote_for, :remote_form_for
# Returns a button input tag that will submit form using XMLHttpRequest
# in the background instead of regular reloading POST arrangement.
# <tt>options</tt> argument is the same as in <tt>form_remote_tag</tt>.
def submit_to_remote(name, value, options = {})
options[:with] ||= 'Form.serialize(this.form)'
options[:html] ||= {}
options[:html][:type] = 'button'
options[:html][:onclick] = "#{remote_function(options)}; return false;"
options[:html][:name] = name
options[:html][:value] = value
tag("input", options[:html], false)
end
# Returns a JavaScript function (or expression) that'll update a DOM
# element according to the options passed.
#
# * <tt>:content</tt>: The content to use for updating. Can be left out
# if using block, see example.
# * <tt>:action</tt>: Valid options are :update (assumed by default),
# :empty, :remove
# * <tt>:position</tt> If the :action is :update, you can optionally
# specify one of the following positions: :before, :top, :bottom,
# :after.
#
# Examples:
# <%= javascript_tag(update_element_function("products",
# :position => :bottom, :content => "<p>New product!</p>")) %>
#
# <% replacement_function = update_element_function("products") do %>
# <p>Product 1</p>
# <p>Product 2</p>
# <% end %>
# <%= javascript_tag(replacement_function) %>
#
# This method can also be used in combination with remote method call
# where the result is evaluated afterwards to cause multiple updates on
# a page. Example:
#
# # Calling view
# <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => "buy" },
# :complete => evaluate_remote_response %>
# all the inputs here...
#
# # Controller action
# def buy
# @product = Product.find(1)
# end
#
# # Returning view
# <%= update_element_function(
# "cart", :action => :update, :position => :bottom,
# :content => "<p>New Product: #{@product.name}</p>")) %>
# <% update_element_function("status", :binding => binding) do %>
# You've bought a new product!
# <% end %>
#
# Notice how the second call doesn't need to be in an ERb output block
# since it uses a block and passes in the binding to render directly.
# This trick will however only work in ERb (not Builder or other

#
# Required +options+ are either of:
# <tt>:url</tt>:: +url_for+-style options for the action to call
# when the field has changed.
# <tt>:function</tt>:: Instead of making a remote call to a URL, you
# can specify a function to be called instead.
#
# Additional options are:
# <tt>:frequency</tt>:: The frequency (in seconds) at which changes to
# this field will be detected. Not setting this
# option at all or to a value equal to or less than
# zero will use event based observation instead of
# time based observation.
# <tt>:update</tt>:: Specifies the DOM ID of the element whose
# innerHTML should be updated with the
# XMLHttpRequest response text.
# <tt>:with</tt>:: A JavaScript expression specifying the
# parameters for the XMLHttpRequest. This defaults
# to 'value', which in the evaluated context
# refers to the new field value. If you specify a
# string without a "=", it'll be extended to mean
# the form key that the value should be assigned to.
# So :with => "term" gives "'term'=value". If a "=" is
# present, no extension will happen.
# <tt>:on</tt>:: Specifies which event handler to observe. By default,
# it's set to "changed" for text fields and areas and
# "click" for radio buttons and checkboxes. With this,
# you can specify it instead to be "blur" or "focus" or
# any other event.

# JavaScriptGenerator generates blocks of JavaScript code that allow you
# to change the content and presentation of multiple DOM elements. Use
# this in your Ajax response bodies, either in a <script> tag or as plain
# JavaScript sent with a Content-type of "text/javascript".
#
# Create new instances with PrototypeHelper#update_page or with
# ActionController::Base#render, then call #insert_html, #replace_html,
# #remove, #show, #hide, #visual_effect, or any other of the built-in
# methods on the yielded generator in any order you like to modify the
# content and appearance of the current page.
#
# Example:
#
# update_page do |page|
# page.insert_html :bottom, 'list', "<li>#{@item.name}</li>"
# page.visual_effect :highlight, 'list'
# page.hide 'status-indicator', 'cancel-link'
# end
#
# generates the following JavaScript:
#
# new Insertion.Bottom("list", "<li>Some item</li>");
# new Effect.Highlight("list");
# ["status-indicator", "cancel-link"].each(Element.hide);
#
# Helper methods can be used in conjunction with JavaScriptGenerator.
# When a helper method is called inside an update block on the +page+
# object, that method will also have access to a +page+ object.
#
# Example:
#
# module ApplicationHelper
# def update_time
# page.replace_html 'time', Time.now.to_s(:db)
# page.visual_effect :highlight, 'time'
# end
# end
#
# # Controller action
# def poll
# render(:update) { |page| page.update_time }
# end
#
# You can also use PrototypeHelper#update_page_tag instead of
# PrototypeHelper#update_page to wrap the generated JavaScript in a
# <script> tag.
