end
# Filters enable controllers to run shared pre and post processing code for its actions. These filters can be used to do
# authentication, caching, or auditing before the intended action is performed. Or to do localization or output
# compression after the action has been performed. Filters have access to the request, response, and all the instance
# variables set by other filters in the chain or by the action (in the case of after filters).
#
# == Filter inheritance
#
# Controller inheritance hierarchies share filters downwards, but subclasses can also add or skip filters without
# affecting the superclass. For example:
#
# class BankController < ActionController::Base
# before_filter :audit
#
# private
# def audit
# # record the action and parameters in an audit log
# end
# end
#
# class VaultController < BankController
# before_filter :verify_credentials
#
# private
# def verify_credentials
# # make sure the user is allowed into the vault
# end
# end
#
# Now any actions performed on the BankController will have the audit method called before. On the VaultController,
# first the audit method is called, then the verify_credentials method. If the audit method returns false, then
# verify_credentials and the intended action are never called.
#
# == Filter types
#
# A filter can take one of three forms: method reference (symbol), external class, or inline method (proc). The first
# is the most common and works by referencing a protected or private method somewhere in the inheritance hierarchy of
# the controller by use of a symbol. In the bank example above, both BankController and VaultController use this form.
#
# Using an external class makes for more easily reused generic filters, such as output compression. External filter classes
# are implemented by having a static +filter+ method on any class and then passing this class to the filter method. Example:
#
# class OutputCompressionFilter
# def self.filter(controller)
# controller.response.body = compress(controller.response.body)
# end
# end
#
# class NewspaperController < ActionController::Base
# after_filter OutputCompressionFilter
# end
#
# The filter method is passed the controller instance and is hence granted access to all aspects of the controller and can
# manipulate them as it sees fit.
#
# The inline method (using a proc) can be used to quickly do something small that doesn't require a lot of explanation.
# Or just as a quick test. It works like this:
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# before_filter { |controller| false if controller.params["stop_action"] }
# end
#
# As you can see, the block expects to be passed the controller after it has assigned the request to the internal variables.
# This means that the block has access to both the request and response objects complete with convenience methods for params,
# session, template, and assigns. Note: The inline method doesn't strictly have to be a block; any object that responds to call
# and returns 1 or -1 on arity will do (such as a Proc or an Method object).
#
# Please note that around_filters function a little differently than the normal before and after filters with regard to filter
# types. Please see the section dedicated to around_filters below.
#
# == Filter chain ordering
#
# Using <tt>before_filter</tt> and <tt>after_filter</tt> appends the specified filters to the existing chain. That's usually
# just fine, but some times you care more about the order in which the filters are executed. When that's the case, you
# can use <tt>prepend_before_filter</tt> and <tt>prepend_after_filter</tt>. Filters added by these methods will be put at the
# beginning of their respective chain and executed before the rest. For example:
#
# class ShoppingController < ActionController::Base
# before_filter :verify_open_shop
#
# class CheckoutController < ShoppingController
# prepend_before_filter :ensure_items_in_cart, :ensure_items_in_stock
#
# The filter chain for the CheckoutController is now <tt>:ensure_items_in_cart, :ensure_items_in_stock,</tt>
# <tt>:verify_open_shop</tt>. So if either of the ensure filters return false, we'll never get around to see if the shop
# is open or not.
#
# You may pass multiple filter arguments of each type as well as a filter block.
# If a block is given, it is treated as the last argument.
#
# == Around filters
#
# Around filters wrap an action, executing code both before and after.
# They may be declared as method references, blocks, or objects responding
# to #filter or to both #before and #after.
#
# To use a method as an around_filter, pass a symbol naming the Ruby method.
# Yield (or block.call) within the method to run the action.
#
# around_filter :catch_exceptions
#
# private
# def catch_exceptions
# yield
# rescue => exception
# logger.debug "Caught exception! #{exception}"
# raise
# end
#
# To use a block as an around_filter, pass a block taking as args both
# the controller and the action block. You can't call yield directly from
# an around_filter block; explicitly call the action block instead:
#
# around_filter do |controller, action|
# logger.debug "before #{controller.action_name}"
# action.call
# logger.debug "after #{controller.action_name}"
# end
#
# To use a filter object with around_filter, pass an object responding
# to :filter or both :before and :after. With a filter method, yield to
# the block as above:
#
# around_filter BenchmarkingFilter
#
# class BenchmarkingFilter
# def self.filter(controller, &block)
# Benchmark.measure(&block)
# end
# end
#
# With before and after methods:
#
# around_filter Authorizer.new
#
# class Authorizer
# # This will run before the action. Returning false aborts the action.
# def before(controller)
# if user.authorized?
# return true
# else
# redirect_to login_url
# return false
# end
# end
#
# # This will run after the action if and only if before returned true.
# def after(controller)
# end
# end
#
# If the filter has before and after methods, the before method will be
# called before the action. If before returns false, the filter chain is
# halted and after will not be run. See Filter Chain Halting below for
# an example.
#
# == Filter chain skipping
#
# Declaring a filter on a base class conveniently applies to its subclasses,
# but sometimes a subclass should skip some of its superclass' filters:
#
# class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# before_filter :authenticate
# around_filter :catch_exceptions
# end
#
# class WeblogController < ApplicationController
# # Will run the :authenticate and :catch_exceptions filters.
# end
#
# class SignupController < ApplicationController
# # Skip :authenticate, run :catch_exceptions.
# skip_before_filter :authenticate
# end
#
# class ProjectsController < ApplicationController
# # Skip :catch_exceptions, run :authenticate.
# skip_filter :catch_exceptions
# end
#
# class ClientsController < ApplicationController
# # Skip :catch_exceptions and :authenticate unless action is index.
# skip_filter :catch_exceptions, :authenticate, :except => :index
# end
#
# == Filter conditions
#
# Filters may be limited to specific actions by declaring the actions to
# include or exclude. Both options accept single actions (:only => :index)
# or arrays of actions (:except => [:foo, :bar]).
#
# class Journal < ActionController::Base
# # Require authentication for edit and delete.
# before_filter :authorize, :only => [:edit, :delete]
#
# # Passing options to a filter with a block.
# around_filter(:except => :index) do |controller, action_block|
# results = Profiler.run(&action_block)
# controller.response.sub! "</body>", "#{results}</body>"
# end
#
# private
# def authorize
# # Redirect to login unless authenticated.
# end
# end
#
# == Filter Chain Halting
#
# <tt>before_filter</tt> and <tt>around_filter</tt> may halt the request
# before a controller action is run. This is useful, for example, to deny
# access to unauthenticated users or to redirect from http to https.
# Simply return false from the filter or call render or redirect.
# After filters will not be executed if the filter chain is halted.
#
# Around filters halt the request unless the action block is called.
# Given these filters
# after_filter :after
# around_filter :around
# before_filter :before
#
# The filter chain will look like:
#
# ...
# . \
# . #around (code before yield)
# . . \
# . . #before (actual filter code is run)
# . . . \
# . . . execute controller action
# . . . /
# . . ...
# . . /
# . #around (code after yield)
# . /
# #after (actual filter code is run, unless the around filter does not yield)
#
# If #around returns before yielding, #after will still not be run. The #before
# filter and controller action will not be run. If #before returns false,
# the second half of #around and will still run but #after and the
# action will not. If #around does not yield, #after will not be run.
