Working With Rails

Resources Controller

http://plugins.ardes.com > resources_controller

= resources_controller

plugin to facilitate inheritance and DRYness in your resources controllers

Simple Usage (see Ardes::ResourcesController for more)

class ThingsController < ApplicationController
  resources_controller_for :things
end

Also supports nested resources

class CommentsController < ApplicationController
  resources_controller_for :comments, :in => [:forum, :post]
end

Also support polymorphic associations, and arbitrary nesting

class TagsController < ApplicationController
  resources_controller_for :tags
  nested_in :taggable, :polymorphic => true, :load_enclosing => true
end

1. this controller will handle
2. /forums/1/tags
3. /forums/1/posts/2/tags
4. /users/3/tags
5. etc

=== For Rails <= 1.2.2

If you are using non-edge rails <= 1.2.2 you should also install http://svn.ardes.com/rails_plugins/resources_controller_lte_1_2_2

(To tell if you need the patch you can run the specs via rake – if you get failures to do with resource service, then you need the patch)
