module Caterpillar
  # Portlet navigation on Rails.
  #
  # Caterpillar installs a partial 'caterpillar/navigation' into your views,
  # along with an image and a CSS file.
  # You need to add a filter 'caterpillar' which you will only load in
  # development environment - in production the portlet container will be the
  # 'window manager'. This partial helps you to navigate between your portlets.
  #
  # This will go to your ApplicationController:
  #   if RAILS_ENV=='development'
  #     before_filter :caterpillar
  #   end
  #
  #   def caterpillar # :nodoc:
  #     @caterpillar_navigation = Caterpillar::Navigation.rails
  #     @caterpillar_navigation_defaults = {
  #       :uid => 13904,
  #       :gid => 13912
  #     }
  #   end
  #
  # This will go the body of your layout:
  #   <% if @caterpillar_navigation -%>
  #     <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'caterpillar/caterpillar' %>
  #     <%= javascript_include_tag 'caterpillar/caterpillar' %>
  #     <%= render :partial => "caterpillar/navigation" %>
  #   <% end -%>
