SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fat Rails controllers, tangled routing, and weak parameter safety slow teams and produce brittle apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RESTful Conventions - Enforces the seven standard actions (index, show, new, create, edit, update, destroy) and predictable routing.
  • Lean Controllers - Encourages thin controllers with logic delegated to models or services, improving testability.
  • Strong Parameters & Security - Enforces parameter whitelisting to prevent mass assignment vulnerabilities and ensure safe inputs.
  • Nested Resources & Routing - Supports nested resources and proper routing structures for related resources.

Quick Start

Use the rails-ai:controllers skill to generate a RESTful UsersController with index, show, new, create, edit, update, and destroy actions, along with nested resources support and strong parameters for user attributes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure Rails controllers to follow RESTful conventions and avoid fat controllers?

To build RESTful Rails controllers, enforce the seven standard actions—index, show, new, create, edit, update, and destroy—and delegate business logic to models or services. This keeps controllers thin, improves testability, and ensures predictable routing across resource endpoints.

What is the best way to secure mass assignment in Rails resource controllers?

Secure mass assignment in Rails by using strong parameters to whitelist permitted attributes. This prevents mass assignment vulnerabilities by strictly controlling which user inputs are allowed, ensuring safe parameter handling during create and update actions.

How do I implement nested resources and routing in a Rails API endpoint?

Implement nested resources in Rails by structuring routes for related resources and applying proper routing discipline. This ensures correct parent-child relationships within RESTful controllers, keeping API endpoints predictable and organized.

Does the rails-ai:controllers approach work for both standard web views and API endpoints?

The rails-ai:controllers approach applies to both standard web resource controllers and API endpoints. It enforces RESTful conventions, thin controllers, and strong parameters across Rails apps, ensuring consistent routing and secure parameter handling.
