module ActionController
  # The \Rails framework provides a large number of helpers for working with assets, dates, forms,
  # numbers and model objects, to name a few. These helpers are available to all templates
  # by default.
  #
  # In addition to using the standard template helpers provided, creating custom helpers to
  # extract complicated logic or reusable functionality is strongly encouraged. By default, each controller
  # will include all helpers. These helpers are only accessible on the controller through <tt>#helpers</tt>
  #
  # In previous versions of \Rails the controller will include a helper which
  # matches the name of the controller, e.g., <tt>MyController</tt> will automatically
  # include <tt>MyHelper</tt>. To return old behavior set +config.action_controller.include_all_helpers+ to +false+.
  #
  # Additional helpers can be specified using the +helper+ class method in ActionController::Base or any
  # controller which inherits from it.
  #
  # The +to_s+ method from the \Time class can be wrapped in a helper method to display a custom message if
  # a \Time object is blank:
  #
  #   module FormattedTimeHelper
  #     def format_time(time, format=:long, blank_message="&nbsp;")
  #       time.blank? ? blank_message : time.to_s(format)
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # FormattedTimeHelper can now be included in a controller, using the +helper+ class method:
  #
  #   class EventsController < ActionController::Base
  #     helper FormattedTimeHelper
  #     def index
  #       @events = Event.all
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # Then, in any view rendered by <tt>EventController</tt>, the <tt>format_time</tt> method can be called:
  #
  #   <% @events.each do |event| -%>
  #     <p>
  #       <%= format_time(event.time, :short, "N/A") %> | <%= event.name %>
  #     </p>
  #   <% end -%>
  #
  # Finally, assuming we have two event instances, one which has a time and one which does not,
  # the output might look like this:
