Andrew White be2a3b0a93 Improve clarity of routing tests Move the routes for each test inside the test method so that it's easier to see which routes are applicable to which test. To ensure that each test wasn't invalidated the changes were done by first removing all of the routes, ensuring that all of the tests failed and then adding the routes back to each test one by one. One test for `assert_recognizes` was removed as it wasn't actually testing the defined routes and is now tested more thoroughly in routing_assertions_test.rb. One downside is that the test suite takes about 1s longer due to having to using `method_missing` for handling the url helpers as using `include url_helpers` isn't isolated for each test.		2012-11-26 11:28:05 +00:00

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST/PUT bodies,
handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
of an action is typically content generated from views.

* Action View, which handles view template lookup and rendering, and provides
view helpers that assist when building HTML forms, Atom feeds and more.
Template formats that Action View handles are ERB (embedded Ruby, typically
used to inline short Ruby snippets inside HTML), and XML Builder.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
