# Form helpers are designed to make working with models much easier compared to using just standard HTML
# elements by providing a set of methods for creating forms based on your models. This helper generates the HTML
# for forms, providing a method for each sort of input (e.g., text, password, select, and so on). When the form
# is submitted (i.e., when the user hits the submit button or <tt>form.submit</tt> is called via JavaScript), the form inputs will be bundled into the <tt>params</tt> object and passed back to the controller.
#
# There are two types of form helpers: those that specifically work with model attributes and those that don't.
# This helper deals with those that work with model attributes; to see an example of form helpers that don't work
# with model attributes, check the ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper documentation.
#
# The core method of this helper, form_for, gives you the ability to create a form for a model instance;
# for example, let's say that you have a model <tt>Person</tt> and want to create a new instance of it:
#
# # Note: a @person variable will have been created in the controller.
# # For example: @person = Person.new
# <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
# <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
# <%= submit_tag 'Create' %>
# <% end %>
#
# The HTML generated for this would be:
#
# <form action="/persons/create" method="post">
# <input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]" size="30" type="text" />
# <input id="person_last_name" name="person[last_name]" size="30" type="text" />
# <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create" />
# </form>
#
# If you are using a partial for your form fields, you can use this shortcut:
#
# <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
# <%= render :partial => f %>
# <%= submit_tag 'Create' %>
# <% end %>
#
# This example will render the <tt>people/_form</tt> partial, setting a local variable called <tt>form</tt> which references the yielded FormBuilder.
#
# The <tt>params</tt> object created when this form is submitted would look like:
#
# {"action"=>"create", "controller"=>"persons", "person"=>{"first_name"=>"William", "last_name"=>"Smith"}}
#
# The params hash has a nested <tt>person</tt> value, which can therefore be accessed with <tt>params[:person]</tt> in the controller.
# If were editing/updating an instance (e.g., <tt>Person.find(1)</tt> rather than <tt>Person.new</tt> in the controller), the objects
# attribute values are filled into the form (e.g., the <tt>person_first_name</tt> field would have that person's first name in it).
#
# If the object name contains square brackets the id for the object will be inserted. For example:
#
# <%= text_field "person[]", "name" %>
#
# ...will generate the following ERb.
#
# <input type="text" id="person_<%= @person.id %>_name" name="person[<%= @person.id %>][name]" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
#
# If the helper is being used to generate a repetitive sequence of similar form elements, for example in a partial
# used by <tt>render_collection_of_partials</tt>, the <tt>index</tt> option may come in handy. Example:
#
# <%= text_field "person", "name", "index" => 1 %>
#
# ...becomes...
#
# <input type="text" id="person_1_name" name="person[1][name]" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
#
# An <tt>index</tt> option may also be passed to <tt>form_for</tt> and <tt>fields_for</tt>. This automatically applies
# the <tt>index</tt> to all the nested fields.
#
# There are also methods for helping to build form tags in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html,
# link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html, and link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html
module FormHelper
# Creates a form and a scope around a specific model object that is used as
# a base for questioning about values for the fields.
#
# Rails provides succint resource-oriented form generation with +form_for+
# like this:
#
# <% form_for @offer do |f| %>
# <%= f.label :version, 'Version' %>:
# <%= f.text_field :version %><br />
# <%= f.label :author, 'Author' %>:
# <%= f.text_field :author %><br />
# <% end %>
#
# There, +form_for+ is able to generate the rest of RESTful form parameters
# based on introspection on the record, but to understand what it does we
# need to dig first into the alternative generic usage it is based upon.
#
# === Generic form_for
#
# The generic way to call +form_for+ yields a form builder around a model:
#
# <% form_for :person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
# <%= f.error_messages %>
# First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />
# Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />
# Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %><br />
# Admin? : <%= f.check_box :admin %><br />
# <% end %>
#
# There, the first argument is a symbol or string with the name of the
# object the form is about, and also the name of the instance variable the
# object is stored in.
#
# The form builder acts as a regular form helper that somehow carries the
# model. Thus, the idea is that
#
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
#
# gets expanded to
#
# <%= text_field :person, :first_name %>
#
# If the instance variable is not <tt>@person</tt> you can pass the actual
# record as the second argument:
#
# <% form_for :person, person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# In that case you can think
#
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
#
# gets expanded to
#
# <%= text_field :person, :first_name, :object => person %>
#
# You can even display error messages of the wrapped model this way:
#
# <%= f.error_messages %>
#
# In any of its variants, the rightmost argument to +form_for+ is an
# optional hash of options:
#
# * <tt>:url</tt> - The URL the form is submitted to. It takes the same fields
# you pass to +url_for+ or +link_to+. In particular you may pass here a
# named route directly as well. Defaults to the current action.
# * <tt>:html</tt> - Optional HTML attributes for the form tag.
#
# Worth noting is that the +form_for+ tag is called in a ERb evaluation block,
# not an ERb output block. So that's <tt><% %></tt>, not <tt><%= %></tt>.
#
# Also note that +form_for+ doesn't create an exclusive scope. It's still
# possible to use both the stand-alone FormHelper methods and methods from
# FormTagHelper. For example:
#
# <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
# First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
# Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
# Biography : <%= text_area :person, :biography %>
# Admin? : <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", @person.company.admin? %>
# <% end %>
#
# This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and DateHelper that are
# designed to work with an object as base, like FormOptionHelper#collection_select
# and DateHelper#datetime_select.
#
# === Resource-oriented style
#
# As we said above, in addition to manually configuring the +form_for+ call,
# you can rely on automated resource identification, which will use the conventions
# and named routes of that approach. This is the preferred way to use +form_for+
# nowadays.
#
# For example, if <tt>@post</tt> is an existing record you want to edit
#
# <% form_for @post do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# is equivalent to something like:
#
# <% form_for :post, @post, :url => post_path(@post), :html => { :method => :put, :class => "edit_post", :id => "edit_post_45" } do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# And for new records
#
# <% form_for(Post.new) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# expands to
#
# <% form_for :post, Post.new, :url => posts_path, :html => { :class => "new_post", :id => "new_post" } do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# You can also overwrite the individual conventions, like this:
#
# <% form_for(@post, :url => super_post_path(@post)) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# And for namespaced routes, like +admin_post_url+:
#
# <% form_for([:admin, @post]) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# === Customized form builders
#
# You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers,
# then use your custom builder. For example, let's say you made a helper to automatically add labels to form inputs.
#
# <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %>
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
# <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
# <%= text_area :person, :biography %>
# <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", @person.company.admin? %>
# <% end %>
#
# In this case, if you use this:
#
# <%= render :partial => f %>
#
# The rendered template is <tt>people/_labelling_form</tt> and the local variable referencing the form builder is called <tt>labelling_form</tt>.
#
# In many cases you will want to wrap the above in another helper, so you could do something like the following:
#
# def labelled_form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &proc)
# options = args.extract_options!
# form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *(args << options.merge(:builder => LabellingFormBuilder)), &proc)
# end
#
# If you don't need to attach a form to a model instance, then check out FormTagHelper#form_tag.
def form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &proc)
raise ArgumentError, "Missing block" unless block_given?

end
concat(form_tag(options.delete(:url) || {}, options.delete(:html) || {}), proc.binding)
fields_for(object_name, *(args << options), &proc)
concat('</form>', proc.binding)
end

# First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %>
# Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %>
#
# <% fields_for @person.permission do |permission_fields| %>
# Admin? : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
# <% end %>
# <% end %>
#
# ...or if you have an object that needs to be represented as a different parameter, like a Client that acts as a Person:
#
# <% fields_for :person, @client do |permission_fields| %>
# Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
# <% end %>
#
# ...or if you don't have an object, just a name of the parameter
#
# <% fields_for :person do |permission_fields| %>
# Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
