    # Form helpers are designed to make working with models much easier than just standard html elements by
    # providing a set of methods for creating forms based on your models.  This helper generates the HTML for forms,
    # providing a method for each sort of input (e.g., text, password, select, and so on).  When the form is 
    # submitted (i.e., when the user hits the submit button or <tt>form.submit</tt> is called via JavaScript), the form 
    # inputs will be bundled into the <tt>params</tt> object and passed back to the controller.
    #
    # There are two types of form helpers: those that specifically work with model attributes and those that don't.  
    # This helper deals with those that work with model attributes; to see an example of form helpers that don't work
    # with model attributes, check the ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper documentation.
    #
    # The core method of this helper, form_for, gives you the ability to create a form for a model instance; 
    # for example, let's say that you have a model <tt>Person</tt> and want to create a new instance of it:
    #
    #     # Note: a @person variable will have been created in the controller. 
    #     # For example: @person = Person.new
    #     <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
    #       <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
    #       <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
    #       <%= submit_tag 'Create' %>
    #     <% end %>
    #
    # The HTML generated for this would be:
    #
    #     <form action="/persons/create" method="post">
    #       <input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]" size="30" type="text" />
    #       <input id="person_last_name" name="person[last_name]" size="30" type="text" />
    #       <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create" />
    #     </form>
    #
    # The <tt>params</tt> object created when this form is submitted would look like:
    #
    #     {"action"=>"create", "controller"=>"persons", "person"=>{"first_name"=>"William", "last_name"=>"Smith"}}
    # 
    # The params hash has a nested <tt>person</tt> value, which can therefore be accessed with <tt>params[:person]</tt> in the controller.
    # If were editing/updating an instance (e.g., <tt>Person.find(1)</tt> rather than <tt>Person.new</tt> in the controller), the objects
    # attribute values are filled into the form (e.g., the <tt>person_first_name</tt> field would have that person's first name in it).
    #    
    # If the object name contains square brackets the id for the object will be inserted. For example:
    #
    #   <%= text_field "person[]", "name" %> 
    # 
    # ...will generate the following ERb.
    #
    #   <input type="text" id="person_<%= @person.id %>_name" name="person[<%= @person.id %>][name]" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
    #
    # If the helper is being used to generate a repetitive sequence of similar form elements, for example in a partial
    # used by <tt>render_collection_of_partials</tt>, the <tt>index</tt> option may come in handy. Example:
    #
    #   <%= text_field "person", "name", "index" => 1 %>
    #
    # ...becomes...
    #
    #   <input type="text" id="person_1_name" name="person[1][name]" value="<%= @person.name %>" />
    #
    # There are also methods for helping to build form tags in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html,
    # link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html, and link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html
    module FormHelper
      # Creates a form and a scope around a specific model object that is used as a base for questioning about
      # values for the fields.  
      #
      #   <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
      #     First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
      #     Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
      #     Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %>
      #     Admin?    : <%= f.check_box :admin %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # Worth noting is that the form_for tag is called in a ERb evaluation block, not an ERb output block. So that's <tt><% %></tt>, 
      # not <tt><%= %></tt>. Also worth noting is that form_for yields a <tt>form_builder</tt> object, in this example as <tt>f</tt>, which emulates
      # the API for the stand-alone FormHelper methods, but without the object name. So instead of <tt>text_field :person, :name</tt>,
      # you get away with <tt>f.text_field :name</tt>. 
      #
      # Even further, the form_for method allows you to more easily escape the instance variable convention.  So while the stand-alone 
      # approach would require <tt>text_field :person, :name, :object => person</tt> 
      # to work with local variables instead of instance ones, the form_for calls remain the same. You simply declare once with 
      # <tt>:person, person</tt> and all subsequent field calls save <tt>:person</tt> and <tt>:object => person</tt>.
      #
      # Also note that form_for doesn't create an exclusive scope. It's still possible to use both the stand-alone FormHelper methods
      # and methods from FormTagHelper. For example:
      #
      #   <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
      #     First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
      #     Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
      #     Biography : <%= text_area :person, :biography %>
      #     Admin?    : <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", @person.company.admin? %>
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # Note: This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and DateHelper that are designed to work with an object as base.
      # Like FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
      #
      # HTML attributes for the form tag can be given as :html => {...}. For example:
      #     
      #   <% form_for :person, @person, :html => {:id => 'person_form'} do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # The above form will then have the <tt>id</tt> attribute with the value </tt>person_form</tt>, which you can then
      # style with CSS or manipulate with JavaScript.
      #
      # === Relying on record identification
      #
      # In addition to manually configuring the form_for call, you can also rely on record identification, which will use
      # the conventions and named routes of that approach. Examples:
      #
      #   <% form_for(@post) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # This will expand to be the same as:
      #
      #   <% form_for :post, @post, :url => post_path(@post), :html => { :method => :put, :class => "edit_post", :id => "edit_post_45" } do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # And for new records:
      #
      #   <% form_for(Post.new) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # This will expand to be the same as:
      #
      #   <% form_for :post, @post, :url => posts_path, :html => { :class => "new_post", :id => "new_post" } do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # You can also overwrite the individual conventions, like this:
      #
      #   <% form_for(@post, :url => super_post_path(@post)) do |f| %>
      #     ...
      #   <% end %>
      #
      # === Customized form builders
      #
      # You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers,
      # then use your custom builder.  For example, let's say you made a helper to automatically add labels to form inputs.
      #   
      #   <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "update" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %>
      #     <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
      #     <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
      #     <%= text_area :person, :biography %>
      #     <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", @person.company.admin? %>
      #   <% end %>
      # 
      # In many cases you will want to wrap the above in another helper, so you could do something like the following:
      #
      #   def labelled_form_for(name, object, options, &proc)
      #     form_for(name, object, options.merge(:builder => LabellingFormBuiler), &proc)
      #   end
      #
      # If you don't need to attach a form to a model instance, then check out FormTagHelper#form_tag.
