  # = Action View Context
  #
  # Action View contexts are supplied to Action Controller to render a template.
  # The default Action View context is ActionView::Base.
  #
  # In order to work with ActionController, a Context must just include this module.
  # The initialization of the variables used by the context (@output_buffer, @view_flow,
  # and @virtual_path) is responsibility of the object that includes this module
  # (although you can call _prepare_context defined below).
  module Context
    include CompiledTemplates
    attr_accessor :output_buffer, :view_flow

    # Prepares the context by setting the appropriate instance variables.
    # :api: plugin
    def _prepare_context
      @view_flow     = OutputFlow.new
      @output_buffer = nil
      @virtual_path  = nil
    end

    # Encapsulates the interaction with the view flow so it
    # returns the correct buffer on +yield+. This is usually
    # overwritten by helpers to add more behavior.
    # :api: plugin
    def _layout_for(name = nil)
      name ||= :layout
      view_flow.get(name).html_safe
