# Examples:

# respond_to :html, :xml, :json
#
# All actions on your controller will respond to :html, :xml and :json.
#
# But if you want to specify it based on your actions, you can use only and
# except:
#
# respond_to :html
# respond_to :xml, :json, :except => [ :edit ]
#
# The definition above explicits that all actions respond to :html. And all
# actions except :edit respond to :xml and :json.
#
# You can specify also only parameters:
#
# respond_to :rjs, :only => :create

# Without web-service support, an action which collects the data for displaying a list of people
# might look something like this:
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
# end
#
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
#
# respond_to do |format|
# format.html
# format.xml { render :xml => @people.to_xml }
# end
# end
#
# What that says is, "if the client wants HTML in response to this action, just respond as we
# would have before, but if the client wants XML, return them the list of people in XML format."
# (Rails determines the desired response format from the HTTP Accept header submitted by the client.)
#
# Supposing you have an action that adds a new person, optionally creating their company
# (by name) if it does not already exist, without web-services, it might look like this:
#
# def create
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(params[:company][:name])
# @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
#
# redirect_to(person_list_url)
# end
#
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
# def create
# company = params[:person].delete(:company)
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
# @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
#
# respond_to do |format|
# format.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) }
# format.js
# format.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => @company) }
# end
# end
#
# If the client wants HTML, we just redirect them back to the person list. If they want Javascript
# (format.js), then it is an RJS request and we render the RJS template associated with this action.
# Lastly, if the client wants XML, we render the created person as XML, but with a twist: we also
# include the person's company in the rendered XML, so you get something like this:
#
# <person>
# <id>...</id>
# ...
# <company>
# <id>...</id>
# <name>...</name>
# ...
# </company>
# </person>
#
# Note, however, the extra bit at the top of that action:
#
# company = params[:person].delete(:company)
# @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
#
# This is because the incoming XML document (if a web-service request is in process) can only contain a
# single root-node. So, we have to rearrange things so that the request looks like this (url-encoded):
#
# person[name]=...&person[company][name]=...&...
#
# And, like this (xml-encoded):
#
# <person>
# <name>...</name>
# <company>
# <name>...</name>
# </company>
# </person>
#
# In other words, we make the request so that it operates on a single entity's person. Then, in the action,
# we extract the company data from the request, find or create the company, and then create the new person
# with the remaining data.
#
# Note that you can define your own XML parameter parser which would allow you to describe multiple entities
# in a single request (i.e., by wrapping them all in a single root node), but if you just go with the flow
# and accept Rails' defaults, life will be much easier.
#
# If you need to use a MIME type which isn't supported by default, you can register your own handlers in
# environment.rb as follows.
#
# Mime::Type.register "image/jpg", :jpg
#
# Respond to also allows you to specify a common block for different formats by using any:
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
#
# respond_to do |format|
# format.html
# format.any(:xml, :json) { render request.format.to_sym => @people }
# end
# end
#
# In the example above, if the format is xml, it will render:
#
# render :xml => @people
#
# Or if the format is json:
#
# render :json => @people
#
# Since this is a common pattern, you can use the class method respond_to
# with the respond_with method to have the same results:
#
# class PeopleController < ApplicationController
# respond_to :html, :xml, :json
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
# respond_with(@person)
# end
# end
#
# Be sure to check respond_with and respond_to documentation for more examples.

# respond_with wraps a resource around a responder for default representation.
# First it invokes respond_to, if a response cannot be found (ie. no block
# for the request was given and template was not available), it instantiates
# an ActionController::Responder with the controller and resource.
#
# ==== Example
#
# def index
# @users = User.all
# respond_with(@users)
# end
#
# It also accepts a block to be given. It's used to overwrite a default
# response:
#
# def destroy
# @user = User.find(params[:id])
# flash[:notice] = "User was successfully created." if @user.save
#
# respond_with(@user) do |format|
# format.html { render }
# end
# end
#
# All options given to respond_with are sent to the underlying responder,
# except for the option :responder itself. Since the responder interface
# is quite simple (it just needs to respond to call), you can even give
# a proc to it.
