Restful Controller

This gem gives you a restful controller with one line of code. It's like invisible scaffolding.

The following controller is equalent to the controller generated by Rails 4 scaffolding:

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  restful_controller

  private
    def post_params
      params.require(:post).permit(:title, :body)
    end
end

Actions

By default restful-controller will provide you with all 7 default actions. If you need only a few actions, you can do the following:

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  restful_controller :index, :show
end

To get all standard actions except only and show:

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  restful_controller except: [:index, :show]
end

Rewriting actions

If you need an action with custom code, you can simply rewrite it, restful-controller won't get into your way.

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  restful_controller

  def show
    # Here you already have access to @post, as the gem follows Rails 4 convention
    # of setting it inside a private set_post method.
  end
end

Rewriting set_model

If you need a custom way to retrieve records, you can rewrite the set_#{model_name} method (for PostsController it is set_post):

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  restful_controller

  private
    def set_post
      @post = current_user.posts.find(params[:id])
    end
end

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
