# Polymorphic URL helpers are methods for smart resolution to a named route call when
|
2008-06-02 08:35:38 +02:00
|
|
|
# given an Active Record model instance. They are to be used in combination with
|
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
|
|
|
# ActionController::Resources.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# These methods are useful when you want to generate correct URL or path to a RESTful
|
|
|
|
# resource without having to know the exact type of the record in question.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Nested resources and/or namespaces are also supported, as illustrated in the example:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# polymorphic_url([:admin, @article, @comment])
|
2008-06-02 08:35:38 +02:00
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# results in:
|
|
|
|
#
|
2008-05-18 06:22:34 +02:00
|
|
|
# admin_article_comment_url(@article, @comment)
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# == Usage within the framework
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Polymorphic URL helpers are used in a number of places throughout the Rails framework:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>url_for</tt>, so you can use it with a record as the argument, e.g.
|
|
|
|
# <tt>url_for(@article)</tt>;
|
|
|
|
# * ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper uses <tt>polymorphic_path</tt>, so you can write
|
|
|
|
# <tt>form_for(@article)</tt> without having to specify <tt>:url</tt> parameter for the form
|
|
|
|
# action;
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>redirect_to</tt> (which, in fact, uses <tt>url_for</tt>) so you can write
|
|
|
|
# <tt>redirect_to(post)</tt> in your controllers;
|
|
|
|
# * ActionView::Helpers::AtomFeedHelper, so you don't have to explicitly specify URLs
|
|
|
|
# for feed entries.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# == Prefixed polymorphic helpers
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# In addition to <tt>polymorphic_url</tt> and <tt>polymorphic_path</tt> methods, a
|
|
|
|
# number of prefixed helpers are available as a shorthand to <tt>:action => "..."</tt>
|
|
|
|
# in options. Those are:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>edit_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>edit_polymorphic_path</tt>
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>new_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>new_polymorphic_path</tt>
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>formatted_polymorphic_url</tt>, <tt>formatted_polymorphic_path</tt>
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# Example usage:
|
|
|
|
#
|
2008-06-02 08:35:38 +02:00
|
|
|
# edit_polymorphic_path(@post) # => "/posts/1/edit"
|
|
|
|
# formatted_polymorphic_path([@post, :pdf]) # => "/posts/1.pdf"

|
|
|
# Constructs a call to a named RESTful route for the given record and returns the
|
|
|
|
# resulting URL string. For example:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# # calls post_url(post)
|
|
|
|
# polymorphic_url(post) # => "http://example.com/posts/1"
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# ==== Options
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>:action</tt> - Specifies the action prefix for the named route:
|
|
|
|
# <tt>:new</tt>, <tt>:edit</tt>, or <tt>:formatted</tt>. Default is no prefix.
|
|
|
|
# * <tt>:routing_type</tt> - Allowed values are <tt>:path</tt> or <tt>:url</tt>.
|
|
|
|
# Default is <tt>:url</tt>.
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# ==== Examples
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# # an Article record
|
|
|
|
# polymorphic_url(record) # same as article_url(record)
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# # a Comment record
|
|
|
|
# polymorphic_url(record) # same as comment_url(record)
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# # it recognizes new records and maps to the collection
|
|
|
|
# record = Comment.new
|
|
|
|
# polymorphic_url(record) # same as comments_url()
