# Module providing an extract_ref method for controllers working with Git

module RefExtractor
  # Thrown when given an invalid path
  class InvalidPathError < StandardError; end

  # Given a string containing both a Git ref - such as a branch or tag - and a
  # filesystem path joined by forward slashes, attempts to separate the two.
  #
  # Expects a @project instance variable to contain the active project. Used to
  # check the input against a list of valid repository refs.
  #
  # Examples
  #
  #   # No @project available
  #   extract_ref('master')
  #   # => ['', '']
  #
  #   extract_ref('master')
  #   # => ['master', '']
  #
  #   extract_ref("f4b14494ef6abf3d144c28e4af0c20143383e062/CHANGELOG")
  #   # => ['f4b14494ef6abf3d144c28e4af0c20143383e062', 'CHANGELOG']
  #
  #   extract_ref("v2.0.0/README.md")
  #   # => ['v2.0.0', 'README.md']
  #
  #   extract_ref('issues/1234/app/models/project.rb')
  #   # => ['issues/1234', 'app/models/project.rb']
  #
  #   # Given an invalid branch, we fall back to just splitting on the first slash
  #   extract_ref('non/existent/branch/README.md')
  #   # => ['non', 'existent/branch/README.md']
  #
  # Returns an Array where the first value is the tree-ish and the second is the
  # path
