What problem does it solve?

Rails apps often need to expose RESTful APIs without creating separate controller trees. This skill shows how to serve both HTML and JSON from the same controller using respond_to blocks and Jbuilder templates, aligning API design with traditional Rails workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single controller handles HTML and JSON responses via respond_to blocks.
  • Jbuilder templates power structured JSON payloads with minimal boilerplate.
  • Use cases include public APIs, internal dashboards, and mobile clients that reuse existing Rails resources.

Quick Start

Create a Boards controller that responds to both HTML and JSON and add corresponding index/show JSON templates.
