PowerResource

Power up RESTful resources!

Requirements

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'power_resource'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install power_resource

Inherit your resource controllers from PowerResource::BaseController:

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
end

Permit only title and content (recommended way):

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
  def permit_attributes
    %w(title content)
  end
end

Permit all attributes:

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
  def permit_attributes
    resource_attributes
  end
end

Permit all attributes except id:

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
  def permit_attributes
    resource_attributes - %w(id)
  end
end

Permit all human-readable attributes (all except id, created_at and updated_at):

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
  def permit_attributes
    resource_human_attributes
  end
end

Permit all human-readable attributes, except title and content:

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
  def permit_attributes
    resource_human_attributes - %w(title content)
  end
end

Setting default behaviour can be done in ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def permit_attributes
    resource_human_attributes
  end
end

class PostsController < PowerResource::BaseController
  def permitted_params
    params.permit(post: %w(title content))
  end
end

Besides all helpers from Inherited Resources gem, next helper methods are available:

resource_form_path   #=> /products     when creating a new resource
                     #=> /products/1   when resource already exists
