Resourceable module

Revisiting a Rails project from when I started developing, I wanted to figure out how to really DRY my controllers out—without making them unreadable by doing half/all of the work in a before_action. (I've used CanCanCan's load_resource in the past. That and some other gems I looked at are a little too DRY for what I want.)

So I wrote this module to encapsulate the business logic of finding the record and loading the params data within an Accessor object. It's not meant to cover all cases, but I'm pretty happy with it.

I have it set up with controller tests in a scaffolded app here.

Here are a set of libraries, plugins and guides which may be useful to your Javascript coding.

  • AngularJS - Conventions based MVC framework for HTML5 apps.
  • Underscore - Underscore is a utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects.
