api_controller

Generator for controllers dedicated to custom APIs.

Usage

rails generate api_controller MODEL(plural, lowercase) [VERSION]

rails generate api_controller people 2

generates:

app/controllers/api/v2/person_api_controller.rb
test/functional/api/v2/person_api_controller.rb

modularize test framework usage
add proper requirements to all files so that everything works outside of a rails project (and in different versions of rails)
make opinionated, robust api and test generation
test!
change the parameters for the command so that either the plural (people) or class name (Person) can be used.
use variable caching in generation methods (version)
shorten generator name
only make new routes if necessary
default generator should be ‘api’ (generates test and controller); possibly add other generators (test, controller, barebones, etc.)
properly insert routes

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it
Fork the project
Start a feature/bugfix branch
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
