module CanCan
# This module is designed to be included into an Ability class. This will
# provide the "can" methods for defining and checking abilities.
#
# class Ability
# include CanCan::Ability
#
# def initialize(user)
# if user.admin?
# can :manage, :all
# else
# can :read, :all
# end
# end
# end
#
module Ability
# Check if the user has permission to perform a given action on an object.
#
# can? :destroy, @project
#
# You can also pass the class instead of an instance (if you don't have one handy).
#
# can? :create, Project
#
# Nested resources can be passed through a hash, this way conditions which are
# dependent upon the association will work when using a class.
#
# can? :create, @category => Project
#
# Any additional arguments will be passed into the "can" block definition. This
# can be used to pass more information about the user's request for example.
#
# can? :create, Project, request.remote_ip
#
# can :create Project do |project, remote_ip|
# # ...
# end
#
# Not only can you use the can? method in the controller and view (see ControllerAdditions),
# but you can also call it directly on an ability instance.
#
# ability.can? :destroy, @project
#
# This makes testing a user's abilities very easy.
#
# def test "user can only destroy projects which he owns"
# user = User.new
# ability = Ability.new(user)
# assert ability.can?(:destroy, Project.new(:user => user))
# assert ability.cannot?(:destroy, Project.new)
# end
#
# Also see the RSpec Matchers to aid in testing.

end
# Defines which abilities are allowed using two arguments. The first one is the action
# you're setting the permission for, the second one is the class of object you're setting it on.
#
# can :update, Article
#
# You can pass an array for either of these parameters to match any one.
# Here the user has the ability to update or destroy both articles and comments.
#
# can [:update, :destroy], [Article, Comment]
#
# You can pass :all to match any object and :manage to match any action. Here are some examples.
#
# can :manage, :all
# can :update, :all
# can :manage, Project
#
# You can pass a hash of conditions as the third argument. Here the user can only see active projects which he owns.
#
# can :read, Project, :active => true, :user_id => user.id
#
# See ActiveRecordAdditions#accessible_by for how to use this in database queries. These conditions
# are also used for initial attributes when building a record in ControllerAdditions#load_resource.
#
# If the conditions hash does not give you enough control over defining abilities, you can use a block
# along with any Ruby code you want.
#
# can :update, Project do |project|
# project.groups.include?(user.group)
# end
#
# If the block returns true then the user has that :update ability for that project, otherwise he
# will be denied access. The downside to using a block is that it cannot be used to generate
# conditions for database queries.
#
# You can pass custom objects into this "can" method, this is usually done with a symbol
# and is useful if a class isn't available to define permissions on.
#
# can :read, :stats
# can? :read, :stats # => true
#
# IMPORTANT: Neither a hash of conditions or a block will be used when checking permission on a class.
#
# can :update, Project, :priority => 3
# can? :update, Project # => true
#
# If you pass no arguments to +can+, the action, class, and object will be passed to the block and the
# block will always be executed. This allows you to override the full behavior if the permissions are
# defined in an external source such as the database.
#
# can do |action, object_class, object|
# # check the database and return true/false
# end

#
# can :read, :all
# cannot :read, Comment
#
# A block can be passed just like "can", however if the logic is complex it is recommended
# to use the "can" method.
#
# cannot :read, Product do |product|
# product.invisible?

# can :modify, Comment
#
# Then :modify permission will apply to both :update and :destroy requests.
#
# can? :update, Comment # => true
# can? :destroy, Comment # => true
#
# This only works in one direction. Passing the aliased action into the "can?" call
# will not work because aliases are meant to generate more generic actions.
