# RecordIdentifier encapsulates methods used by various ActionView helpers
# to associate records with DOM elements.
#
# Consider for example the following code that form of post:
#
# <%= form_for(post) do |f| %>
# <%= f.text_field :body %>
# <% end %>
#
# When +post+ is a new, unsaved ActiveRecord::Base instance, the resulting HTML
# is:
#
# <form class="new_post" id="new_post" action="/posts" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post">
# <input type="text" name="post[body]" id="post_body" />
# </form>
#
# When +post+ is a persisted ActiveRecord::Base instance, the resulting HTML
# is:
#
# <form class="edit_post" id="edit_post_42" action="/posts/42" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post">
# <input type="text" value="What a wonderful world!" name="post[body]" id="post_body" />
# </form>
#
# In both cases, the +id+ and +class+ of the wrapping DOM element are
# automatically generated, following naming conventions encapsulated by the
# RecordIdentifier methods #dom_id and #dom_class:
#
# dom_id(Post.new) # => "new_post"
# dom_class(Post.new) # => "post"
# dom_id(Post.find 42) # => "post_42"
# dom_class(Post.find 42) # => "post"
#
# Note that these methods do not strictly require +Post+ to be a subclass of
# ActiveRecord::Base.
2014-12-30 11:00:40 -05:00
# Any +Post+ class will work as long as its instances respond to +to_key+
# and +model_name+, given that +model_name+ responds to +param_key+.
# For instance:
#
# class Post
# attr_accessor :to_key
#
# def model_name
# OpenStruct.new param_key: 'post'
# end
#
# def self.find(id)
2014-12-30 11:00:40 -05:00
# new.tap { |post| post.to_key = [id] }
# end
# end

# The DOM class convention is to use the singular form of an object or class.
#
# dom_class(post) # => "post"
# dom_class(Person) # => "person"
#
# If you need to address multiple instances of the same class in the same view, you can prefix the dom_class:
#
# dom_class(post, :edit) # => "edit_post"
# dom_class(Person, :edit) # => "edit_person"

# If no id is found, prefix with "new_" instead.
#
# dom_id(Post.find(45)) # => "post_45"
# dom_id(Post.new) # => "new_post"
#
# If you need to address multiple instances of the same class in the same view, you can prefix the dom_id:
#
# dom_id(Post.find(45), :edit) # => "edit_post_45"
# dom_id(Post.new, :custom) # => "custom_post"

Adds #key and #to_param to the AMo interface This commit introduces two new methods that every AMo compliant object must implement. Below are the default implementations along with the implied interface contract. # Returns an Enumerable of all (primary) key # attributes or nil if new_record? is true def key new_record? ? nil : [1] end # Returns a string representing the object's key # suitable for use in URLs, or nil if new_record? # is true def to_param key ? key.first.to_s : nil end 1) The #key method Previously rails' record_identifier code, which is used in the #dom_id helper, relied on calling #id on the record to provide a reasonable DOM id. Now with rails3 being all ORM agnostic, it's not safe anymore to assume that every record ever will have an #id as its primary key attribute. Having a #key method available on every AMo object means that #dom_id can be implemented using record.to_model.key # instead of record.id Using this we're able to take composite primary keys into account (e.g. available in datamapper) by implementing #dom_id using a newly added record_key_for_dom_id(record) method. The user can overwrite this method to provide customized versions of the object's key used in #dom_id. Also, dealing with more complex keys that can contain arbitrary strings, means that we need to make sure that we only provide DOM ids that are valid according to the spec. For this reason, this patch sends the key provided through a newly added sanitize_dom_id(candidate_id) method, that makes sure we only produce valid HTML The reason to not just add #dom_id to the AMo interface was that it feels like providing a DOM id should not be a model concern. Adding #dom_id to the AMo interface would force these concern on the model, while it's better left to be implemented in a helper. Now one could say the same is true for #to_param, and actually I think that it doesn't really fit into the model either, but it's used in AR and it's a main part of integrating into the rails router. This is different from #dom_id which is only used in view helpers and can be implemented on top of a semantically more meaningful method like #key. 2) The #to_param method Since the rails router relies on #to_param to be present, AR::Base implements it and returns the id by default, allowing the user to overwrite the method if desired. Now with different ORMs integrating into rails, every ORM railtie needs to implement it's own #to_param implementation while already providing code to be AMo compliant. Since the whole point of AMo compliance seems to be to integrate any ORM seamlessly into rails, it seems fair that all we really need to do as another ORM, is to be AMo compliant. By including #to_param into the official interface, we can make sure that this code can be centralized in the various AMo compliance layers, and not be added separately by every ORM railtie. 3) All specs pass

# Returns a string representation of the key attribute(s) that is suitable for use in an HTML DOM id.
# This can be overwritten to customize the default generated string representation if desired.
# If you need to read back a key from a dom_id in order to query for the underlying database record,
# you should write a helper like 'person_record_from_dom_id' that will extract the key either based
# on the default implementation (which just joins all key attributes with '_') or on your own
