+module ActionView
+  module Helpers
+    # Form helpers are designed to make working with models much easier
+    # compared to using 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>
+    #
+    # If you are using a partial for your form fields, you can use this shortcut:
+    #
+    #     <% form_for :person, @person, :url => { :action => "create" } do |f| %>
+    #       <%= render :partial => f %>
+    #       <%= submit_tag 'Create' %>
+    #     <% end %>
+    #
+    # This example will render the <tt>people/_form</tt> partial, setting a
+    # local variable called <tt>form</tt> which references the yielded
+    # FormBuilder. 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 %>" />
+    #
+    # An <tt>index</tt> option may also be passed to <tt>form_for</tt> and
+    # <tt>fields_for</tt>.  This automatically applies the <tt>index</tt> to
+    # all the nested fields.
+    #
+    # 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.
+      #
+      # Rails provides succinct resource-oriented form generation with +form_for+
+      # like this:
+      #
+      #   <% form_for @offer do |f| %>
+      #     <%= f.label :version, 'Version' %>:
+      #     <%= f.text_field :version %><br />
+      #     <%= f.label :author, 'Author' %>:
+      #     <%= f.text_field :author %><br />
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # There, +form_for+ is able to generate the rest of RESTful form
+      # parameters based on introspection on the record, but to understand what
+      # it does we need to dig first into the alternative generic usage it is
+      # based upon.
+      #
+      # === Generic form_for
+      #
+      # The generic way to call +form_for+ yields a form builder around a
+      # model:
+      #
+      #   <% form_for :person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
+      #     <%= f.error_messages %>
+      #     First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />
+      #     Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />
+      #     Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %><br />
+      #     Admin?    : <%= f.check_box :admin %><br />
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # There, the first argument is a symbol or string with the name of the
+      # object the form is about, and also the name of the instance variable
+      # the object is stored in.
+      #
+      # The form builder acts as a regular form helper that somehow carries the
+      # model. Thus, the idea is that
+      #
+      #   <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
+      #
+      # gets expanded to
+      #
+      #   <%= text_field :person, :first_name %>
+      #
+      # If the instance variable is not <tt>@person</tt> you can pass the actual
+      # record as the second argument:
+      #
+      #   <% form_for :person, person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |f| %>
+      #     ...
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # In that case you can think
+      #
+      #   <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
+      #
+      # gets expanded to
+      #
+      #   <%= text_field :person, :first_name, :object => person %>
+      #
+      # You can even display error messages of the wrapped model this way:
+      #
+      #   <%= f.error_messages %>
+      #
+      # In any of its variants, the rightmost argument to +form_for+ is an
+      # optional hash of options:
+      #
+      # * <tt>:url</tt> - The URL the form is submitted to. It takes the same
+      #   fields you pass to +url_for+ or +link_to+. In particular you may pass
+      #   here a named route directly as well. Defaults to the current action.
+      # * <tt>:html</tt> - Optional HTML attributes for the form tag.
+      #
+      # 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 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 %>
+      #
+      # 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.
+      #
+      # === Resource-oriented style
+      #
+      # As we said above, in addition to manually configuring the +form_for+
+      # call, you can rely on automated resource identification, which will use
+      # the conventions and named routes of that approach. This is the
+      # preferred way to use +form_for+ nowadays.
+      #
+      # For example, if <tt>@post</tt> is an existing record you want to edit
+      #
+      #   <% form_for @post do |f| %>
+      #     ...
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # is equivalent to something like:
+      #
+      #   <% 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 %>
+      #
+      # expands to
+      #
+      #   <% form_for :post, Post.new, :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 %>
+      #
+      # And for namespaced routes, like +admin_post_url+:
+      #
+      #   <% form_for([:admin, @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 this case, if you use this:
+      #
+      #   <%= render :partial => f %>
+      #
+      # The rendered template is <tt>people/_labelling_form</tt> and the local
+      # variable referencing the form builder is called
+      # <tt>labelling_form</tt>.
+      #
+      # The custom FormBuilder class is automatically merged with the options
+      # of a nested fields_for call, unless it's explicitely set.
+      #
+      # 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(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &proc)
+      #     options = args.extract_options!
+      #     form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *(args << options.merge(:builder => LabellingFormBuilder)), &proc)
+      #   end
+      #
+      # If you don't need to attach a form to a model instance, then check out
+      # FormTagHelper#form_tag.
+      def form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &proc)
+        raise ArgumentError, "Missing block" unless block_given?
+
+        options = args.extract_options!
+

+        when String, Symbol
+          object_name = record_or_name_or_array
+        when Array
+          object = record_or_name_or_array.last
+          object_name = ActionController::RecordIdentifier.singular_class_name(object)
+          apply_form_for_options!(record_or_name_or_array, options)
+          args.unshift object
+        else
+          object = record_or_name_or_array
+          object_name = ActionController::RecordIdentifier.singular_class_name(object)
+          apply_form_for_options!([object], options)

+        fields_for(object_name, *(args << options), &proc)
+        concat('</form>'.html_safe!)
+      end
+
+      def apply_form_for_options!(object_or_array, options) #:nodoc:
+        object = object_or_array.is_a?(Array) ? object_or_array.last : object_or_array
+
+        html_options =

+            { :class  => dom_class(object, :new),  :id => dom_id(object), :method => :post }
+          else
+            { :class  => dom_class(object, :edit), :id => dom_id(object, :edit), :method => :put }

+
+        options[:html] ||= {}
+        options[:html].reverse_merge!(html_options)
+        options[:url] ||= polymorphic_path(object_or_array)
+      end
+
+      # Creates a scope around a specific model object like form_for, but
+      # doesn't create the form tags themselves. This makes fields_for suitable
+      # for specifying additional model objects in the same form.
+      #
+      # === Generic Examples
+      #
+      #   <% form_for @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |person_form| %>
+      #     First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %>
+      #     Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %>
+      #
+      #     <% fields_for @person.permission do |permission_fields| %>
+      #       Admin?  : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
+      #     <% end %>
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # ...or if you have an object that needs to be represented as a different
+      # parameter, like a Client that acts as a Person:
+      #
+      #   <% fields_for :person, @client do |permission_fields| %>
+      #     Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # ...or if you don't have an object, just a name of the parameter:
+      #
+      #   <% fields_for :person do |permission_fields| %>
+      #     Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :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.
+      #
+      # === Nested Attributes Examples
+      #
+      # When the object belonging to the current scope has a nested attribute
+      # writer for a certain attribute, fields_for will yield a new scope
+      # for that attribute. This allows you to create forms that set or change
+      # the attributes of a parent object and its associations in one go.
+      #
+      # Nested attribute writers are normal setter methods named after an
+      # association. The most common way of defining these writers is either
+      # with +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ in a model definition or by
+      # defining a method with the proper name. For example: the attribute
+      # writer for the association <tt>:address</tt> is called
+      # <tt>address_attributes=</tt>.
+      #
+      # Whether a one-to-one or one-to-many style form builder will be yielded
+      # depends on whether the normal reader method returns a _single_ object
+      # or an _array_ of objects.
+      #
+      # ==== One-to-one
+      #
+      # Consider a Person class which returns a _single_ Address from the
+      # <tt>address</tt> reader method and responds to the
+      # <tt>address_attributes=</tt> writer method:
+      #
+      #   class Person
+      #     def address
+      #       @address
+      #     end
+      #
+      #     def address_attributes=(attributes)
+      #       # Process the attributes hash
+      #     end
+      #   end
+      #
+      # This model can now be used with a nested fields_for, like so:
+      #
+      #   <% form_for @person, :url => { :action => "update" } do |person_form| %>
+      #     ...
+      #     <% person_form.fields_for :address do |address_fields| %>
+      #       Street  : <%= address_fields.text_field :street %>
+      #       Zip code: <%= address_fields.text_field :zip_code %>
+      #     <% end %>
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # When address is already an association on a Person you can use
+      # +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
+      #
+      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_one :address
+      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :address
+      #   end
+      #
+      # If you want to destroy the associated model through the form, you have
+      # to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt> option for
+      # +accepts_nested_attributes_for+:
+      #
+      #   class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
+      #     has_one :address
+      #     accepts_nested_attributes_for :address, :allow_destroy => true
+      #   end
+      #
+      # Now, when you use a form element with the <tt>_delete</tt> parameter,
+      # with a value that evaluates to +true+, you will destroy the associated
+      # model (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'):
+      #

+      # This model can now be used with a nested fields_for. The block given to

+      # Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a hash with +options+. The +checked_value+ defaults to 1 
+      # while the default +unchecked_value+ is set to 0 which is convenient for boolean values.
+      #
+      # ==== Gotcha
+      #
+      # The HTML specification says unchecked check boxes are not successful, and
+      # thus web browsers do not send them. Unfortunately this introduces a gotcha:
+      # if an Invoice model has a +paid+ flag, and in the form that edits a paid
+      # invoice the user unchecks its check box, no +paid+ parameter is sent. So,
+      # any mass-assignment idiom like
+      #
+      #   @invoice.update_attributes(params[:invoice])
+      #
+      # wouldn't update the flag.
+      #
+      # To prevent this the helper generates a hidden field with the same name as
+      # the checkbox after the very check box. So, the client either sends only the
+      # hidden field (representing the check box is unchecked), or both fields.
+      # Since the HTML specification says key/value pairs have to be sent in the
+      # same order they appear in the form and Rails parameters extraction always
+      # gets the first occurrence of any given key, that works in ordinary forms.
+      #
+      # Unfortunately that workaround does not work when the check box goes
+      # within an array-like parameter, as in
+      #
+      #   <% fields_for "project[invoice_attributes][]", invoice, :index => nil do |form| %>
+      #     <%= form.check_box :paid %>
+      #     ...
+      #   <% end %>
+      #
+      # because parameter name repetition is precisely what Rails seeks to distinguish
+      # the elements of the array.
+      #
+      # ==== Examples
+      #   # Let's say that @post.validated? is 1:
+      #   check_box("post", "validated")
+      #   # => <input type="checkbox" id="post_validated" name="post[validated]" value="1" />
