Rails team have recently implemented a bunch of, for the lack of better word,
dubious decisions. For example, for pure json api and a POST-route you can't
just do respond_with something where something is a hash or an array of
hashes. Instead, you are required to do respond_with something, :location => some_location, where some_location is not used whatsoever at any point
of request->response cycle.
This library targets to fix this kind of problems and also provide some trivial CRUD actions.
class UsersController < ApplicationController
include TrivialResources::Base
include TrivialResources::ExceptionHandling # to catch NotFounds etc.
include TrivialResources::Create
include TrivialResources::Show
include TrivialResources::Update
include TrivialResources::Destroy
include TrivialResources::Index
# includes boilerplate for finding resources and doing proper updates
end
class UsersController < ApplicationController
include TrivialResources::Base
include TrivialResources::Create
protected
# Used in both lookup and building new resources (all actions)
def resource_class
Person
end
# Used in lookup (index, show, update, destroy actions)
def resource_scope
resource_class.active
end
# Used in building new resources (create)
def build_scope
Person.where(:active => true)
end
# This is also used in building new resources (create)
def default_build_attributes
{:active => true}
end
# Further customizations are available via method-specific calls
def index_find_resources
resource_scope.all(:active => true)
end
def respond_on_successful_create
respond_with @resource
end
def respond_on_failed_create
respond_with @resource, :status => :bad_request
end
end
