Overview

ActionController::Metal provides a way to get a valid Rack application from a controller.

In AbstractController, dispatching is triggered directly by calling #process on a new controller. ActionController::Metal provides an #action method that returns a valid Rack application for a given action. Other rack builders, such as Rack::Builder, Rack::URLMap, and the Rails router, can dispatch directly to the action returned by FooController.action(:index).

Class Method Details

.action(name, klass = ActionDispatch::Request) ⇒ Object

Return a rack endpoint for the given action. Memoize the endpoint, so multiple calls into MyController.action will return the same object for the same action.

Parameters

action<#to_s>

An action name

Returns

Proc

A rack application
