module ActionView
  module Helpers #:nodoc:
    # This module provides methods for generating HTML that links views to assets such
    # as images, javascripts, stylesheets, and feeds. These methods do not verify
    # the assets exist before linking to them:
    #
    #   image_tag("rails.png")
    #   # => <img alt="Rails" src="/images/rails.png?1230601161" />
    #   stylesheet_link_tag("application")
    #   # => <link href="/stylesheets/application.css?1232285206" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    #
    # === Using asset hosts
    #
    # By default, Rails links to these assets on the current host in the public
    # folder, but you can direct Rails to link to assets from a dedicated asset
    # server by setting ActionController::Base.asset_host in the application
    # configuration, typically in <tt>config/environments/production.rb</tt>.
    # For example, you'd define <tt>assets.example.com</tt> to be your asset
    # host this way:
    #
    #   ActionController::Base.asset_host = "assets.example.com"
    #
    # Helpers take that into account:
    #
    #   image_tag("rails.png")
    #   # => <img alt="Rails" src="http://assets.example.com/images/rails.png?1230601161" />
    #   stylesheet_link_tag("application")
    #   # => <link href="http://assets.example.com/stylesheets/application.css?1232285206" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    #
    # Browsers typically open at most two simultaneous connections to a single
    # host, which means your assets often have to wait for other assets to finish
    # downloading. You can alleviate this by using a <tt>%d</tt> wildcard in the
    # +asset_host+. For example, "assets%d.example.com". If that wildcard is
    # present Rails distributes asset requests among the corresponding four hosts
    # "assets0.example.com", ..., "assets3.example.com". With this trick browsers
    # will open eight simultaneous connections rather than two.
    #
    #   image_tag("rails.png")
    #   # => <img alt="Rails" src="http://assets0.example.com/images/rails.png?1230601161" />
    #   stylesheet_link_tag("application")
    #   # => <link href="http://assets2.example.com/stylesheets/application.css?1232285206" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    #
    # To do this, you can either setup four actual hosts, or you can use wildcard
    # DNS to CNAME the wildcard to a single asset host. You can read more about
    # setting up your DNS CNAME records from your ISP.
    #
    # Note: This is purely a browser performance optimization and is not meant
    # for server load balancing. See http://www.die.net/musings/page_load_time/
    # for background.
    #
    # Alternatively, you can exert more control over the asset host by setting
    # +asset_host+ to a proc like this:
    #
    #   ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source|
    #     "http://assets#{source.hash % 2 + 1}.example.com"
    #   }
    #   image_tag("rails.png")
    #   # => <img alt="Rails" src="http://assets0.example.com/images/rails.png?1230601161" />
    #   stylesheet_link_tag("application")
    #   # => <link href="http://assets1.example.com/stylesheets/application.css?1232285206" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    #
    # The example above generates "http://assets1.example.com" and
    # "http://assets2.example.com". This option is useful for example if
    # you need fewer/more than four hosts, custom host names, etc.
    #
    # As you see the proc takes a +source+ parameter. That's a string with the
    # absolute path of the asset with any extensions and timestamps in place,
    # for example "/images/rails.png?1230601161".
    #
    #    ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source|
    #      if source.starts_with?('/images')
    #        "http://images.example.com"
    #      else
    #        "http://assets.example.com"
    #      end
    #    }
    #   image_tag("rails.png")
    #   # => <img alt="Rails" src="http://images.example.com/images/rails.png?1230601161" />
    #   stylesheet_link_tag("application")
    #   # => <link href="http://assets.example.com/stylesheets/application.css?1232285206" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    #
    # Alternatively you may ask for a second parameter +request+. That one is
    # particularly useful for serving assets from an SSL-protected page. The
    # example proc below disables asset hosting for HTTPS connections, while
    # still sending assets for plain HTTP requests from asset hosts. If you don't
    # have SSL certificates for each of the asset hosts this technique allows you
    # to avoid warnings in the client about mixed media.
    #
    #   ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source, request|
    #     if request.ssl?
    #       "#{request.protocol}#{request.host_with_port}"
    #     else
    #       "#{request.protocol}assets.example.com"
    #     end
    #   }
    #
    # You can also implement a custom asset host object that responds to +call+
    # and takes either one or two parameters just like the proc.
    #
    #   config.action_controller.asset_host = AssetHostingWithMinimumSsl.new(
    #     "http://asset%d.example.com", "https://asset1.example.com"
    #   )
    #
    # === Using asset timestamps
    #
    # By default, Rails appends asset's timestamps to all asset paths. This allows
    # you to set a cache-expiration date for the asset far into the future, but
    # still be able to instantly invalidate it by simply updating the file (and
    # hence updating the timestamp, which then updates the URL as the timestamp
    # is part of that, which in turn busts the cache).
    #
    # It's the responsibility of the web server you use to set the far-future
    # expiration date on cache assets that you need to take advantage of this
    # feature. Here's an example for Apache:
    #
    #   # Asset Expiration
    #   ExpiresActive On
    #   <FilesMatch "\.(ico|gif|jpe?g|png|js|css)$">
    #     ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
    #   </FilesMatch>
    #
    # Also note that in order for this to work, all your application servers must
    # return the same timestamps. This means that they must have their clocks
    # synchronized. If one of them drifts out of sync, you'll see different
    # timestamps at random and the cache won't work. In that case the browser
    # will request the same assets over and over again even thought they didn't
    # change. You can use something like Live HTTP Headers for Firefox to verify
    # that the cache is indeed working.

      # html attributes of the script tag by passing a hash as the last argument.

      # * = The application.js file is only referenced if it exists
      #
      # Though it's not really recommended practice, if you need to extend the default JavaScript set for any reason
      # (e.g., you're going to be using a certain .js file in every action), then take a look at the register_javascript_include_default method.
      #
      # You can also include all javascripts in the javascripts directory using <tt>:all</tt> as the source:
      #
      #   javascript_include_tag :all # =>
      #     <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/prototype.js"></script>
      #     <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/effects.js"></script>
      #     ...
      #     <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/application.js"></script>
      #     <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/shop.js"></script>
      #     <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/checkout.js"></script>
      #
      # Note that the default javascript files will be included first. So Prototype and Scriptaculous are available to
      # all subsequently included files.
      #
      # If you want Rails to search in all the subdirectories under javascripts, you should explicitly set <tt>:recursive</tt>:
      #
      #   javascript_include_tag :all, :recursive => true
      #
      # == Caching multiple javascripts into one
      #
      # You can also cache multiple javascripts into one file, which requires less HTTP connections to download and can better be
      # compressed by gzip (leading to faster transfers). Caching will only happen if config.perform_caching
      # is set to <tt>true</tt> (which is the case by default for the Rails production environment, but not for the development
      # environment).

      #
      # You can also cache multiple stylesheets into one file, which requires less HTTP connections and can better be
      # compressed by gzip (leading to faster transfers). Caching will only happen if config.perform_caching
      # is set to true (which is the case by default for the Rails production environment, but not for the development
      # environment). Examples:
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #   stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true # when config.perform_caching is false =>
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/style1.css"  media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/styleB.css"  media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/styleX2.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #
      #   stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true # when config.perform_caching is true =>
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/all.css"  media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #
      #   stylesheet_link_tag "shop", "cart", "checkout", :cache => "payment" # when config.perform_caching is false =>
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/shop.css"  media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/cart.css"  media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/checkout.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #
      #   stylesheet_link_tag "shop", "cart", "checkout", :cache => "payment" # when config.perform_caching is true =>
      #     <link href="/stylesheets/payment.css"  media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      #
      # The <tt>:recursive</tt> option is also available for caching:
      #
      #   stylesheet_link_tag :all, :cache => true, :recursive => true
      #
      # To force concatenation (even in development mode) set <tt>:concat</tt> to true. This is useful if
      # you have too many stylesheets for IE to load.
      #
      #   stylesheet_link_tag :all, :concat => true

      #   event is fired, and sets the original image to be replaced onmouseout.
