You might want to overwrite some of them. protected # This is how the collection is loaded. # # You might want to overwrite this method if you want to add pagination # for example.

Otherwise it will # probably render a 500 error message. # def resource get_resource_ivar || set_resource_ivar(end_of_association_chain.find(params[:id])) end # This method is responsable for building the object on :new and :create # methods. You probably won't need to change it. Again, if you overwrite # don't forget to cache the result in an instance_variable. # def build_resource(attributes = {}) get_resource_ivar || set_resource_ivar(end_of_association_chain.send(method_for_build, attributes)) end # This class allows you to set a instance variable to begin your # association chain. For example, usually your projects belongs to users # and that means that they belong to the current logged in user. So you # could do this: # # def begin_of_association_chain # @current_user # end # # So every time we instantiate a project, we will do: # # @current_user.projects.build(params[:project]) # @current_user.projects.find(params[:id]) # # The variable set in begin_of_association_chain is not sent when building # urls, so this is never going to happen when calling resource_url: # # project_url(@current_user, @project) # # If the user actually scopes the url, you should use belongs_to method # and declare that projects belong to user. # def begin_of_association_chain nil end # Private helpers, you probably don't have to worry with them. private # Fast accessor to resource_collection_name # def resource_collection_name resources_configuration[:self][:collection_name] end # Fast accessor to resource_instance_name # def resource_instance_name resources_configuration[:self][:instance_name] end # Returns if the object has a parent.

It's powered by I18n API. # It checks for messages in the following order: # # flash.controller_name.action_name.status # flash.actions.action_name.status # # If none is available, a default message is set. So, if you have # a CarsController, create action, it will check for: # # flash.cars.create.status # flash.actions.create.status # # The statuses can be :notice (when the object can be created, updated # or destroyed with success) or :error (when the objecy cannot be created # or updated). # # Those messages are interpolated by using the resource class human name. # This means you can set: # # flash: # actions: # create: # notice: "Hooray! {{resource_name}} was successfully created!" # # But sometimes, flash messages are not that simple. Going back # to cars example, you might want to say the brand of the car when it's # updated. Well, that's easy also: # # flash: # cars: # update: # notice: "Hooray! You just tuned your {{car_brand}}!" # # Since :car_name is not available for interpolation by default, you have # to overwrite interpolation_options. # # def interpolation_options # { :car_brand => @car.brand } # end # # Then you will finally have: # # 'Hooray! You just tuned your Aston Martin!' # # If your controller is namespaced, for example Rare::CarsController, # the messages will be checked in the following order: # # flash.rare.cars.create.status # flash.rare.actions.create.status # flash.cars.create.status # flash.actions.create.status # def set_flash_message!(status, default_message = '') return flash[status] = default_message unless defined?(::I18n) options = { :default => default_message || '', :resource_name => resource_class.human_name, }.merge(interpolation_options) defaults = [] slices = controller_path.split('/') while slices.size > 0 defaults << :"flash.#{slices.fill(controller_name, -1).join('.')}.#{action_name}.#{status}" defaults << :"flash.#{slices.fill(:actions, -1).join('.')}.#{action_name}.#{status}" slices.shift end options[:default] = defaults.push(options[:default]) options[:default].flatten! message = ::I18n.t options[:default].shift, options flash[status] = message unless message.blank? end # Overwrite this method to provide other interpolation options when # the flash message is going to be set. # # You cannot overwrite :resource_name and :default options using this # method. Check set_flash_message! for more information. # def interpolation_options { } end # Used to allow to specify success and failure within just one block: # # def create # create! do |success, failure| # failure.html { redirect_to root_url } # end # end # def args_for_block(block_to_check_args, format, success = true) if block_to_check_args.arity == 2 dumb_responder = InheritedResources::DumbResponder.new if success return format, dumb_responder else return dumb_responder, format end else return format end end end end
