Rails::API support

[smarquez1]

The rails-api gem uses ActionController::API instead of ActionController::Base for its controllers. Maybe replacing this line for

ActionController::API.send :include, SimpleTokenAuthentication::ActsAsTokenAuthenticationHandler 

should work

Hello @smarquez1,

That's true, the idea was discussed here. A dummy app is used to test differents aspects of the gem behaviour. That app is generated automatically during each scenario, following a recipe (usage, source) which, at this point, is adapted for a Rails application. A Rails API recipe is what is missing at this point to make a release possible.

If you could adapt that recipe, it would make a very nice -and very welcome- PR. Adding support for Rails API is something that has been around for a time now and I would be glad to help you with the Cucumber scenario if necessary.

Regards!

Hi there,

I forked @mediateinment _mongoid_ supporting repo and added rails-api support with @smarquez1 suggestions:

ActionController::API.send :include, SimpleTokenAuthentication::ActsAsTokenAuthenticationHandler  

For me it's working OK, you can get it here.

Plus, I added the ability to pass options to before_filter on ActsAsTokenAuthenticationHandler.

Hi @rapito,

Thanks for the PR, however, in order to add both Mongoid and Rails API support, what is missing is testing. Your help would be welcome in both these topics, but I can't accept your PR as-is.

The discussions reated to the Mongoid support are gathered in #38, those related to Rails API in #54.
Please keep the topics separated, that helps in maintaining the documentation searchable as it grows. ; )

Regards!
