module SimpleNavigation
# View helpers to render the navigation.
#
# Use render_navigation as following to render your navigation:
# * call render_navigation without :level option to render your complete navigation as nested tree.
# * call render_navigation(:level => x) to render a specific navigation level (e.g. :level => 1 to render your primary navigation, :level => 2 to render the sub navigation and so forth)
# * call render_navigation(:level => 2..3) to render navigation levels 2 and 3).
# For example, you could use render_navigation(:level => 1) to render your primary navigation as tabs and render_navigation(:level => 2..3) to render the rest of the navigation as a tree in a sidebar.
#
# ==== Examples (using Haml)
# #primary_navigation= render_navigation(:level => 1)
#
# #sub_navigation= render_navigation(:level => 2)
#
# #nested_navigation= render_navigation
#
# #top_navigation= render_navigation(:level => 1..2)
# #sidebar_navigation= render_navigation(:level => 3)
module Helpers
# Renders the navigation according to the specified options-hash.
#
# The following options are supported:
# * :level - defaults to :all which renders the the sub_navigation for an active primary_navigation inside that active primary_navigation item.
# Specify a specific level to only render that level of navigation (e.g. :level => 1 for primary_navigation etc...).
# Specifiy a Range of levels to render only those specific levels (e.g. :level => 1..2 to render both your first and second levels, maybe you want to render your third level somewhere else on the page)
# * :expand_all - defaults to false. If set to true the all specified levels will be rendered as a fully expanded tree (always open). This is useful for javascript menus like Superfish.
# * :context - specifies the context for which you would render the navigation. Defaults to :default which loads the default navigation.rb (i.e. config/navigation.rb).
# If you specify a context then the plugin tries to load the configuration file for that context, e.g. if you call render_navigation(:context => :admin) the file config/admin_navigation.rb
# will be loaded and used for rendering the navigation.
# * :items - you can specify the items directly (e.g. if items are dynamically generated from database). See SimpleNavigation::ItemsProvider for documentation on what to provide as items.
# * :renderer - specify the renderer to be used for rendering the navigation. Either provide the Class or a symbol matching a registered renderer. Defaults to :list (html list renderer).
#
# Instead of using the :items option, a block can be passed to specify the items dynamically
#
# render_navigation do |menu|
# menu.item :posts, "Posts", posts_path
# end
#

# * :context - specifies the context for which you would like to find the active navigation item. Defaults to :default which loads the default navigation.rb (i.e. config/navigation.rb).

# will be loaded and used for searching the active item.

# Returns the supplied value_for_nil object (nil
# by default) if no active item can be found for the specified
