   1 module ActionController
   2   # In <b>routes.rb</b> one defines URL-to-controller mappings, but the reverse
   3   # is also possible: an URL can be generated from one of your routing definitions.
   4   # URL generation functionality is centralized in this module.
   5   #
   6   # See ActionController::Routing and ActionController::Resources for general
   7   # information about routing and routes.rb.
   8   #
   9   # <b>Tip:</b> If you need to generate URLs from your models or some other place,
  10   # then ActionController::UrlWriter is what you're looking for. Read on for
  11   # an introduction.
  12   #
  13   # == URL generation from parameters
  14   #
  15   # As you may know, some functions - such as ActionController::Base#url_for
  16   # and ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper#link_to, can generate URLs given a set
  17   # of parameters. For example, you've probably had the chance to write code
  18   # like this in one of your views:
  19   #
  20   #   <%= link_to('Click here', :controller => 'users',
  21   #           :action => 'new', :message => 'Welcome!') %>
  22   #
  23   #   #=> Generates a link to: /users/new?message=Welcome%21
  24   #
  25   # link_to, and all other functions that require URL generation functionality,
  26   # actually use ActionController::UrlWriter under the hood. And in particular,
  27   # they use the ActionController::UrlWriter#url_for method. One can generate
  28   # the same path as the above example by using the following code:
  29   #
  30   #   include UrlWriter
  31   #   url_for(:controller => 'users',
  32   #           :action => 'new',
  33   #           :message => 'Welcome!',
  34   #           :only_path => true)
  35   #   # => "/users/new?message=Welcome%21"
  36   #
  37   # Notice the <tt>:only_path => true</tt> part. This is because UrlWriter has no
  38   # information about the website hostname that your Rails app is serving. So if you
  39   # want to include the hostname as well, then you must also pass the <tt>:host</tt>
  40   # argument:
  41   #
  42   #   include UrlWriter
  43   #   url_for(:controller => 'users',
  44   #           :action => 'new',
  45   #           :message => 'Welcome!',
  46   #           :host => 'www.example.com')        # Changed this.
  47   #   # => "http://www.example.com/users/new?message=Welcome%21"
  48   #
  49   # By default, all controllers and views have access to a special version of url_for,
  50   # that already knows what the current hostname is. So if you use url_for in your
  51   # controllers or your views, then you don't need to explicitly pass the <tt>:host</tt>
  52   # argument.
  53   #
  54   # For convenience reasons, mailers provide a shortcut for ActionController::UrlWriter#url_for.
  55   # So within mailers, you only have to type 'url_for' instead of 'ActionController::UrlWriter#url_for'
  56   # in full. However, mailers don't have hostname information, and what's why you'll still
  57   # have to specify the <tt>:host</tt> argument when generating URLs in mailers.
  58   #
  59   #
  60   # == URL generation for named routes
  61   #
  62   # UrlWriter also allows one to access methods that have been auto-generated from
  63   # named routes. For example, suppose that you have a 'users' resource in your
  64   # <b>routes.rb</b>:
  65   #
  66   #   map.resources :users
  67   #
  68   # This generates, among other things, the method <tt>users_path</tt>. By default,
  69   # this method is accessible from your controllers, views and mailers. If you need
  70   # to access this auto-generated method from other places (such as a model), then
  71   # you can do that in two ways.
  72   #
  73   # The first way is to include ActionController::UrlWriter in your class:
  74   #
  75   #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  76   #     include ActionController::UrlWriter         # !!!
  77   #
  78   #     def name=(value)
  79   #       write_attribute('name', value)
  80   #       write_attribute('base_uri', users_path)   # !!!
  81   #     end
  82   #   end
  83   #
  84   # The second way is to access them through ActionController::UrlWriter.
  85   # The autogenerated named routes methods are available as class methods:
  86   #
  87   #   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  88   #     def name=(value)
  89   #       write_attribute('name', value)
  90   #       path = ActionController::UrlWriter.users_path   # !!!
  91   #       write_attribute('base_uri', path)               # !!!
  92   #     end
  93   #   end
  94   module UrlWriter
  95     def self.included(base) #:nodoc:
  96       ActionController::Routing::Routes.install_helpers(base)
  97       base.mattr_accessor :default_url_options
  98
  99       # The default options for urls written by this writer. Typically a <tt>:host</tt> pair is provided.

 101     end
 102
 103     # Generate a url based on the options provided, default_url_options and the
 104     # routes defined in routes.rb.  The following options are supported:
 105     #
 106     # * <tt>:only_path</tt> - If true, the relative url is returned. Defaults to +false+.
 107     # * <tt>:protocol</tt> - The protocol to connect to. Defaults to 'http'.
 108     # * <tt>:host</tt> - Specifies the host the link should be targetted at.
 109     #   If <tt>:only_path</tt> is false, this option must be
 110     #   provided either explicitly, or via +default_url_options+.
 111     # * <tt>:port</tt> - Optionally specify the port to connect to.
 112     # * <tt>:anchor</tt> - An anchor name to be appended to the path.
 113     # * <tt>:skip_relative_url_root</tt> - If true, the url is not constructed using the
 114     #   +relative_url_root+ set in ActionController::Base.relative_url_root.
 115     # * <tt>:trailing_slash</tt> - If true, adds a trailing slash, as in "/archive/2009/"
 116     #
 117     # Any other key (<tt>:controller</tt>, <tt>:action</tt>, etc.) given to
 118     # +url_for+ is forwarded to the Routes module.
