Upgraded to Rails 2.0.2, except that we maintain vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb from Rail 1.2.6 (at least for now), so that Routes don't change. We still get to enjoy Rails's many new features. Also fixed a bug in Chunk-handling: disable WikiWord processing in tags (for real this time).

# The Rails framework provides a large number of helpers for working with +assets+, +dates+, +forms+,
|
|
# +numbers+ and +ActiveRecord+ objects, to name a few. These helpers are available to all templates
|
|
# by default.
|
|
#
|
|
# In addition to using the standard template helpers provided in the Rails framework, creating custom helpers to
|
|
# extract complicated logic or reusable functionality is strongly encouraged. By default, the controller will
|
|
# include a helper whose name matches that of the controller, e.g., <tt>MyController</tt> will automatically
|
|
# include <tt>MyHelper</tt>.
|
|
#
|
|
# Additional helpers can be specified using the +helper+ class method in <tt>ActionController::Base</tt> or any
|
|
# controller which inherits from it.
|
|
#
|
|
# ==== Examples
|
|
# The +to_s+ method from the +Time+ class can be wrapped in a helper method to display a custom message if
|
|
# the Time object is blank:
|
|
#
|
|
# module FormattedTimeHelper
|
|
# def format_time(time, format=:long, blank_message=" ")
|
|
# time.blank? ? blank_message : time.to_s(format)
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# +FormattedTimeHelper+ can now be included in a controller, using the +helper+ class method:
|
|
#
|
|
# class EventsController < ActionController::Base
|
|
# helper FormattedTimeHelper
|
|
# def index
|
|
# @events = Event.find(:all)
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Then, in any view rendered by <tt>EventController</tt>, the <tt>format_time</tt> method can be called:
|
|
#
|
|
# <% @events.each do |event| -%>
|
|
# <p>
|
|
# <% format_time(event.time, :short, "N/A") %> | <%= event.name %>
|
|
# </p>
|
|
# <% end -%>
|
|
#
|
|
# Finally, assuming we have two event instances, one which has a time and one which does not,
|
|
# the output might look like this:

module ClassMethods
|
|
# Makes all the (instance) methods in the helper module available to templates rendered through this controller.
|
|
# See ActionView::Helpers (link:classes/ActionView/Helpers.html) for more about making your own helper modules
|
|
# available to the templates.

# The +helper+ class method can take a series of helper module names, a block, or both.
|
|
#
|
|
# * <tt>*args</tt>: One or more +Modules+, +Strings+ or +Symbols+, or the special symbol <tt>:all</tt>.
|
|
# * <tt>&block</tt>: A block defining helper methods.
|
|
#
|
|
# ==== Examples
|
|
# When the argument is a +String+ or +Symbol+, the method will provide the "_helper" suffix, require the file
|
|
# and include the module in the template class. The second form illustrates how to include custom helpers
|
|
# when working with namespaced controllers, or other cases where the file containing the helper definition is not
|
|
# in one of Rails' standard load paths:
|
|
# helper :foo # => requires 'foo_helper' and includes FooHelper
|
|
# helper 'resources/foo' # => requires 'resources/foo_helper' and includes Resources::FooHelper
|
|
#
|
|
# When the argument is a +Module+, it will be included directly in the template class.
|
|
# helper FooHelper # => includes FooHelper
|
|
#
|
|
# When the argument is the symbol <tt>:all</tt>, the controller will include all helpers from
|
|
# <tt>app/helpers/**/*.rb</tt> under +RAILS_ROOT+.
|
|
# helper :all
|
|
#
|
|
# Additionally, the +helper+ class method can receive and evaluate a block, making the methods defined available
|
|
# to the template.
|
|
# # One line
|
|
# helper { def hello() "Hello, world!" end }
|
|
# # Multi-line
|
|
# helper do
|
|
# def foo(bar)
|
|
# "#{bar} is the very best"
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Finally, all the above styles can be mixed together, and the +helper+ method can be invoked with a mix of
|
|
# +symbols+, +strings+, +modules+ and blocks.
|
|
# helper(:three, BlindHelper) { def mice() 'mice' end }
