Usage

Controller generator (respond_with by default):

$ rails g responders:install
$ rails g scaffold_controller:install

Result:

class BooksController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_book,
    only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

  # GET /books
  def index
    @books = Book.all
    respond_with(@books)
  end

  # GET /books/1
  def show
    respond_with(@book)
  end

  # GET /books/new
  def new
    @book = Book.new
    respond_with(@book)
  end

  # GET /books/1/edit
  def edit
  end

  # POST /books
  def create
    @book = Book.new(book_params)
    @book.save
    respond_with(@book)
  end

  # PATCH/PUT /books/1
  def update
    @book.update(book_params)
    respond_with(@book)
  end

  # DELETE /books/1
  def destroy
    @book.destroy
    respond_with(@book)
  end

  private

  def set_book
    @book = Book.find(params[:id])
  end

  def book_params
    params.require(:book).
      permit(:title, :author)
  end
end
