rails-crud_actions¶ ↑

• github.com/boochtek/rails-crud_actions

Provides default CRUD actions for a Rails controller.

• Provides default CRUD actions for a Rails controller.

• Simply include the module, for simpler debugging.

• Allows overriding the actions.

• Provides the 7 CRUD actions provided by Rails scaffolding/resources, plus ‘delete’.

  • Delete displays a page confirming that the user wants to delete an item.

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  include BoochTek::Rails::CrudActions
  crud_model Person       # OPTIONAL: would have defaulted to User for the UsersController.
  crud_scope :conditions => {:name => 'Bill'}

  def index
    # Can provide an overrided version of an action.
  end
  after_filter :only => :show do
    # Can extend the functionality of the default version of an action. Can also use before_filter or around_filter.
  end
end

OR

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  crud_actions :model => Person, :conditions => {:name => 'Bill'}

  def index
    # Can provide an overrided version of an action.
  end
  after_filter :only => :show do
    # Can extend the functionality of the default version of an action. Can also use before_filter or around_filter.
  end
end

You should set your routes up like this, so that your delete actions are at users/1/delete instead of users/delete/1:

map.resources :users, :member => { :delete => :get }

• Rails (actually, ActionController)

  • Will probably work with any version of Rails, but I’ve tested with Rails 2.2 and above.

script/plugin install git://github.com/boochtek/rails-crud_actions.git

* resource_controller - I didn't like their DSL, which seems more magical than this implementation.
* josevalim-inherited_resources - Looks OK, but hard to override actions, and has to be included via inheritance.
  * Uses 'resource' where I use 'item'; claims other "resourceful plugins" probably do as well.
