DEFAULTS

There’s a rough equivalence between a basic @make_resourceful@ call and a hand-made controller. This:

  class PostsController < ApplicationController
    make_resourceful { actions :all }
  end

Creates a controller that works more or less like the one that follows. Note that the real code generated by make_resourceful is more extensible in various ways. Thus whenever possible, there are comments in the following controller indicating how to customize various bits of the controller.

  class PostsController < ApplicationController
    def index
      # Override #current_objects to change this
      @posts = Post.find(:all)

      # Use before :index to add something here

      # Use response_for :index to change this
      respond_to { |f| f.html; f.js }
    end

    def show
      # Override #current_object to change this
      @post = Post.find(params[:id])

      # Use before :show to add something here

      # Use response_for :show to change this
      respond_to { |f| f.html; f.js }
    end

    def create
      # Override #build_object to change this
      @post = Post.new(params[:post])

      # Use before :create to add something here

      if @post.save
        # Use after :create to add something here

        # Use response_for :create to change this
        respond_to do |f|
          f.html do
            flash[:notice] = "Create successful!"
            redirect_to post_path(@post)
          end
          f.js
        end
