#92 make_resourceful

The make_resourceful plugin is a great way to DRY up the 7 RESTful actions common in most controllers. Learn how to use it in this episode.

# products_controller.rb
make_resourceful do
  actions :all

  response_for :show do |format|
    format.html
    format.xml { render :xml => current_object.to_xml }
  end
end

private

def current_objects
  Product.find(:all, :order => 'name')
end

def current_object
  @current_object ||= Product.find_by_permalink(params[:id])
end

<!-- edit.html.erb -->
<%= hidden_field_tag '_flash[notice]', "Successfully updated product." %>
