module ActionController #:nodoc:
# Components allow you to call other actions for their rendered response while executing another action. You can either delegate
# the entire response rendering or you can mix a partial response in with your other content.
#
# class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
# # Performs a method and then lets hello_world output its render
# def delegate_action
# do_other_stuff_before_hello_world
# render_component :controller => "greeter", :action => "hello_world", :params => { :person => "david" }
# end
# end
#
# class GreeterController < ActionController::Base
# def hello_world
# render :text => "#{params[:person]} says, Hello World!"
# end
# end
#
# The same can be done in a view to do a partial rendering:
#
# Let's see a greeting:
# <%= render_component :controller => "greeter", :action => "hello_world" %>
#
# It is also possible to specify the controller as a class constant, bypassing the inflector
# code to compute the controller class at runtime:
#
# <%= render_component :controller => GreeterController, :action => "hello_world" %>
#
# == When to use components
#
# Components should be used with care. They're significantly slower than simply splitting reusable parts into partials and
# conceptually more complicated. Don't use components as a way of separating concerns inside a single application. Instead,
# reserve components to those rare cases where you truly have reusable view and controller elements that can be employed
# across many applications at once.
#
# So to repeat: Components are a special-purpose approach that can often be replaced with better use of partials and filters.
