# A very handy place to:
#
# * store information about the application
# * generate urls without a controller/mailer
# * generate nice, short sha1 digests
# * assign unique per record generated codes
#
# == Installation
#
# 1. In config/initializers/application.rb:
#
#   Application.host = "mykillerapp.com"
#
# 2. In app/controllers/application.rb:
#
#   include ApplicationConfiguration::ControllerTriggeredUpdating
#
# == Configuring values for you application
#
# As this is an OpenStruct instance, you may assign anything you'd like, as
# in:
#
#   Application.no_reply_address = "[email protected]"
#
# Now, in your application, you can do stuff like this:
#
#   Application.no_reply_address
#
# == Routing
#
# Routes are available to you everywhere. Of course, they already are in
# controllers, views, and mailers. This basically handles accurately
# configuring the existing host and port defaults for Rails
# ActionController::UrlWriter stuff. Normally, you would have to do this in
# each of your environment files.
#
#   Application.signup_path       # named routes are available!
#
class ApplicationConfiguration < OpenStruct
  include Singleton
  include ActionController::UrlWriter
  
  # Make the named routes we have public methods. This will be invoked when
  # the routes are loaded.
  def self.routes_loaded!
    instance_methods.each do |method|
      method = method.to_sym
      if ActionController::Routing::Routes.named_routes.helpers.include?(method)
        public method
      end
    end
  end
  
  # And just in case they already have been...
  routes_loaded!
  
  # Answers a proc for use in an ActiveRecord.before_create callback to assign
  # a unique-for-model.base_class code. The attribute defaults to :code, but
  # if you need it to assign to something else, you can provide that.
  def assign_code(attribute = :code)
    lambda do |model_instance|
      while model_instance.send(attribute).nil? || model_instance.class.base_class.exists?(attribute => model_instance.send(attribute))
        model_instance.send :"#{attribute}=", Application.generate_code
      end
    end
  end
  
  # Generates shorter codes, keeping URLs that use them shorter
  def generate_code
    Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(Time.now.to_s.split(//).sort_by {rand}.join)[0..10]

  # will put the port in URLs if it is provided at all.
  def port=(value)
    if value.nil? || value.to_s == '80'
      default_url_options.delete(:port)
