ImplicitResource

In most cases you will have the same old code in your controllers, this gem allows some very basic assumptions while giving you the option to override the behavior. This allows your controllers to be limited to just the required code.

Assumptions this code makes: 1. The controller is named for the model. e.g. ArticlesController will assume Article model. 2. Standard restful actions: index, show, new, create, edit, update, destroy. 3. A method named permitted_attributes exists for permitted_params.

Here’s an example of the bare minimum code required to get started:

```ruby ArticlesController < ApplicationController include ImplicitResource # Opt in to implicit behavior, or include it in ApplicationController.

private

def permitted_params params.require(:article).permit(:title, :body) end end ```

Installationc

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

ruby gem "implicit_resource"

Add this line to your controller

ruby include ImplicitResource

Customization

ImplicitResource only targets basic controller functionality. Everything that implicit_resource does can be overriden in the controller.

Overriding resource methods

You can override the collection and resource methods to achieve more flexibility in how things are queried.

```ruby ArticlesController < ApplicationController include ImplicitResource

private

def collection # Collection is a placeholder for any collection of objects to be returned model_klass.includes(:comments).search(title: params[:title_search_terms]) end

def resource # Resource is a placeholder for any single object to be returned collection.find_by(token_id: params[:token_id]) end end ```

Overriding the model class

You can override the model_klass method to allow for controller/model naming mismatch.

```ruby ArticlesController < ApplicationController include ImplicitResource

private

def model_klass Story end end ```
