module ActionController
|
|
# Action Controllers are the core of a web request in \Rails. They are made up of one or more actions that are executed
|
|
# on request and then either render a template or redirect to another action. An action is defined as a public method
|
|
# on the controller, which will automatically be made accessible to the web-server through \Rails Routes.
|
|
#
|
|
# By default, only the ApplicationController in a \Rails application inherits from <tt>ActionController::Base</tt>. All other
|
|
# controllers in turn inherit from ApplicationController. This gives you one class to configure things such as
|
|
# request forgery protection and filtering of sensitive request parameters.
|
|
#
|
|
# A sample controller could look like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# class PostsController < ApplicationController
|
|
# def index
|
|
# @posts = Post.all
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# def create
|
|
# @post = Post.create params[:post]
|
|
# redirect_to posts_path
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Actions, by default, render a template in the <tt>app/views</tt> directory corresponding to the name of the controller and action
|
|
# after executing code in the action. For example, the +index+ action of the PostsController would render the
|
|
# template <tt>app/views/posts/index.html.erb</tt> by default after populating the <tt>@posts</tt> instance variable.
|
|
#
|
|
# Unlike index, the create action will not render a template. After performing its main purpose (creating a
|
|
# new post), it initiates a redirect instead. This redirect works by returning an external
|
|
# "302 Moved" HTTP response that takes the user to the index action.
|
|
#
|
|
# These two methods represent the two basic action archetypes used in Action Controllers. Get-and-show and do-and-redirect.
|
|
# Most actions are variations on these themes.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Requests
|
|
#
|
|
# For every request, the router determines the value of the +controller+ and +action+ keys. These determine which controller
|
|
# and action are called. The remaining request parameters, the session (if one is available), and the full request with
|
|
# all the HTTP headers are made available to the action through accessor methods. Then the action is performed.
|
|
#
|
|
# The full request object is available via the request accessor and is primarily used to query for HTTP headers:
|
|
#
|
|
# def server_ip
|
|
# location = request.env["SERVER_ADDR"]
|
|
# render :text => "This server hosted at #{location}"
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# == Parameters
|
|
#
|
|
# All request parameters, whether they come from a GET or POST request, or from the URL, are available through the params method
|
|
# which returns a hash. For example, an action that was performed through <tt>/posts?category=All&limit=5</tt> will include
|
|
# <tt>{ "category" => "All", "limit" => "5" }</tt> in params.
|
|
#
|
|
# It's also possible to construct multi-dimensional parameter hashes by specifying keys using brackets, such as:
|
|
#
|
|
# <input type="text" name="post[name]" value="david">
|
|
# <input type="text" name="post[address]" value="hyacintvej">
|
|
#
|
|
# A request stemming from a form holding these inputs will include <tt>{ "post" => { "name" => "david", "address" => "hyacintvej" } }</tt>.
|
|
# If the address input had been named "post[address][street]", the params would have included
|
|
# <tt>{ "post" => { "address" => { "street" => "hyacintvej" } } }</tt>. There's no limit to the depth of the nesting.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Sessions
|
|
#
|
|
# Sessions allow you to store objects in between requests. This is useful for objects that are not yet ready to be persisted,
|
|
# such as a Signup object constructed in a multi-paged process, or objects that don't change much and are needed all the time, such
|
|
# as a User object for a system that requires login. The session should not be used, however, as a cache for objects where it's likely
|
|
# they could be changed unknowingly. It's usually too much work to keep it all synchronized -- something databases already excel at.
|
|
#
|
|
# You can place objects in the session by using the <tt>session</tt> method, which accesses a hash:
|
|
#
|
|
# session[:person] = Person.authenticate(user_name, password)
|
|
#
|
|
# And retrieved again through the same hash:
|
|
#
|
|
# Hello #{session[:person]}
|
|
#
|
|
# For removing objects from the session, you can either assign a single key to +nil+:
|
|
#
|
|
# # removes :person from session
|
|
# session[:person] = nil
|
|
#
|
|
# or you can remove the entire session with +reset_session+.
|
|
#
|
|
# Sessions are stored by default in a browser cookie that's cryptographically signed, but unencrypted.
|
|
# This prevents the user from tampering with the session but also allows him to see its contents.
|
|
#
|
|
# Do not put secret information in cookie-based sessions!
|
|
#
|
|
# Other options for session storage:
|
|
#
|
|
# * ActiveRecord::SessionStore - Sessions are stored in your database, which works better than PStore with multiple app servers and,
|
|
# unlike CookieStore, hides your session contents from the user. To use ActiveRecord::SessionStore, set
|
|
#
|
|
# MyApplication::Application.config.session_store :active_record_store
|
|
#
|
|
# in your <tt>config/initializers/session_store.rb</tt> and run <tt>script/rails g session_migration</tt>.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Responses
|
|
#
|
|
# Each action results in a response, which holds the headers and document to be sent to the user's browser. The actual response
|
|
# object is generated automatically through the use of renders and redirects and requires no user intervention.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Renders
|
|
#
|
|
# Action Controller sends content to the user by using one of five rendering methods. The most versatile and common is the rendering
|
|
# of a template. Included in the Action Pack is the Action View, which enables rendering of ERB templates. It's automatically configured.
|
|
# The controller passes objects to the view by assigning instance variables:
|
|
#
|
|
# def show
|
|
# @post = Post.find(params[:id])
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Which are then automatically available to the view:
|
|
#
|
|
# Title: <%= @post.title %>
|
|
#
|
|
# You don't have to rely on the automated rendering. For example, actions that could result in the rendering of different templates
|
|
# will use the manual rendering methods:
|
|
#
|
|
# def search
|
|
# @results = Search.find(params[:query])
|
|
# case @results.count
|
|
# when 0 then render :action => "no_results"
|
|
# when 1 then render :action => "show"
|
|
# when 2..10 then render :action => "show_many"
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Read more about writing ERB and Builder templates in ActionView::Base.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Redirects
|
|
#
|
|
# Redirects are used to move from one action to another. For example, after a <tt>create</tt> action, which stores a blog entry to the
|
|
# database, we might like to show the user the new entry. Because we're following good DRY principles (Don't Repeat Yourself), we're
|
|
# going to reuse (and redirect to) a <tt>show</tt> action that we'll assume has already been created. The code might look like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# def create
|
|
# @entry = Entry.new(params[:entry])
|
|
# if @entry.save
|
|
# # The entry was saved correctly, redirect to show
|
|
# redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => @entry.id
|
|
# else
|
|
# # things didn't go so well, do something else
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# In this case, after saving our new entry to the database, the user is redirected to the <tt>show</tt> method, which is then executed.
|
|
# Note that this is an external HTTP-level redirection which will cause the browser to make a second request (a GET to the show action),
|
|
# and not some internal re-routing which calls both "create" and then "show" within one request.
|
|
#
|
|
# Learn more about <tt>redirect_to</tt> and what options you have in ActionController::Redirecting.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Calling multiple redirects or renders
|
|
#
|
|
# An action may contain only a single render or a single redirect. Attempting to try to do either again will result in a DoubleRenderError:
|
|
#
|
|
# def do_something
|
|
# redirect_to :action => "elsewhere"
|
|
# render :action => "overthere" # raises DoubleRenderError
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# If you need to redirect on the condition of something, then be sure to add "and return" to halt execution.
|
|
#
|
|
# def do_something
|
|
# redirect_to(:action => "elsewhere") and return if monkeys.nil?
|
|
# render :action => "overthere" # won't be called if monkeys is nil
|
|
# end
