response_for_rc

if you’re using resources_controller and response_for, you probably want this!

What is it?

It’s an alternate set of RC actions, written in response_for style.

How to use it?

Just drop it into your plugins directory.

What else can I do with it?

If you’re writing your own RC actions with responses, refactored in modules, you’ve probably noticed what an ass it is to add the responses (you need to stick it in self.included and add them on the including class, etc, etc).

Recent developments on response_for resources_controller, and now response_for_rc, mean you can now do stuff like this

  module MyActions
    extend Ardes::RcResponsesModule # <= this baby gives your module the ability to understand response_for
                                    # <= and to add responses to any including controller
    def new
      # your new
    end

    response_for :new do |format|
      # your new response
    end

    def show
      # your show
    end

    response_for :show do |format|
      # your show response
    end

    # and others
  end

  # later

  class FoosController < ApplicationController
    resources_controller_for :foos, :actions => MyActions

    # you get all of the above actions and responses
  end

  # also works with :only and :except
  class BarsController < ApplicationController
    resources_controller_for :bars, :actions => MyActions, :only => [:new]

    # only get new and new response
  end

  # if you want to set your own actions globally (as the default, look in init.rb to see how)

Requirements

You need resources_controller and response_for.
