def accepts
  @env["action_dispatch.request.accepts"] ||= begin
    header = @env['HTTP_ACCEPT'].to_s.strip

    if header.empty?
      [content_mime_type]
    else
      Mime::Type.parse(header)
    end
  end
end

#content_mime_type ⇒ Object

The MIME type of the HTTP request, such as Mime::XML.

For backward compatibility, the post format is extracted from the X-Post-Data-Format HTTP header if present.

#format(view_path = []) ⇒ Object

Returns the MIME type for the format used in the request.

GET /posts/5.xml   | request.format => Mime::XML

def format(view_path = [])
  formats.first
end

#format=(extension) ⇒ Object

Sets the format by string extension, which can be used to force custom formats that are not controlled by the extension.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :adjust_format_for_iphone

  private
    def adjust_format_for_iphone
      request.format = :iphone if request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"][/iPhone/]
    end
end

def formats
  @env["action_dispatch.request.formats"] ||=
    if parameters[:format]
      Array(Mime[parameters[:format]])
    elsif use_accept_header && valid_accept_header
      accepts
    elsif xhr?
      [Mime::JS]
    else
      [Mime::HTML]
    end
end

#formats=(extensions) ⇒ Object

Sets the formats by string extensions. This differs from #format= by allowing you to set multiple, ordered formats, which is useful when you want to have a fallback.

In this example, the :iphone format will be used if it’s available, otherwise it’ll fallback to the :html format.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :adjust_format_for_iphone_with_html_fallback

  private
    def adjust_format_for_iphone_with_html_fallback
      request.formats = [ :iphone, :html ] if request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"][/iPhone/]
    end
end
