Put a Mongoid document in the resources folder. That's it. You now have all the basic CRUD actions at /resource_name.

For example, if you put this in resources/coconut.rb:

class Coconut
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :name, type: String
  field :juicy, type: Boolean
end

... you get all these routes for free:

• GET /coconuts to get all the coconuts
• GET /coconuts/524a87a7e0f3fc1d2d000001 to get that specific coconat
• POST /coconuts, { coconut: { name: 'Mr. Brown', juicy: true } } to create a new coconut
• PUT /coconuts/524a87a7e0f3fc1d2d000001, { name: 'Nutty' } to update the coconut
• DELETE /coconuts/524a87a7e0f3fc1d2d000001 to disintegrate that coconut

Bonus route:

• POST /coconuts/search, { juicy: true } to find all the juicy coconuts
