Kustom Scaffold Controller pada Rails 3

Pada Rails 3 memungkinkan untuk dilakukan kustomisasi controller yang dihasilkkan saat melakukan scaffolding. Secara default, saat melakukan scaffolding, controller yang dihasilkan adalah sebagai berikut:

bundle exec rails g scaffold Item name:string price:integer

class ItemsController < ApplicationController
  # GET /items
  # GET /items.xml
  def index
    @items = Item.all

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.xml  { render :xml => @items }
    end
  end
# ----- CUT ------
  # DELETE /items/1
  # DELETE /items/1.xml
  def destroy
    @item = Item.find(params[:id])
    @item.destroy

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to(items_url) }
      format.xml  { head :ok }
    end
  end
end

Untuk mengubahnya, menurut Jose Valim saat menjawab pertanyaan tentang scaffold controller dari ZigZag, cukup salin rails/railties/lib/generators/rails/scaffold_controller/templates (github link) ke RAILS_ROOT/lib/templates/rails/scaffold_controller/controller.rb
dan lakukan perubahaan sesuai kebutuhan. Contoh:

# RAILS_ROOT/lib/templates/rails/scaffold_controller/controller.rb
class <%= controller_class_name %>Controller < ApplicationController
  before_filter :find_<%= file_name %>, :only => [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

<% unless options[:singleton] -%>
  def index
    @<%= table_name %> = <%= orm_class.all(class_name) %>
    end
  end
<% end -%>

  def show
  end

  def new
    @<%= file_name %> = <%= orm_class.build(class_name) %>
  end

  def edit
  end

  def create
    @<%= file_name %> = <%= orm_class.build(class_name, "params[:#{file_name}]") %>

    if @<%= orm_instance.save %>
      redirect_to(@<%= file_name %>, :notice => "<%= human_name %> was successfully created.")
    else
      render :action => "new"
    end
  end

  def update
    if @<%= orm_instance.update_attributes("params[:#{file_name}]") %>
      redirect_to(@<%= file_name %>, :notice => "<%= human_name %> was successfully updated.")
    else
      render :action => "edit"
    end
  end

  def destroy
    @<%= orm_instance.destroy %>

    redirect_to(<%= table_name %>_url)
  end

  private

  def find_<%= file_name %>
    @<%= file_name %> = <%= orm_class.find(class_name, "params[:id]") %>
  end
end

Jalankan scaffold, maka controller yang dihasilkan akan berubah.

bundle exec rails g scaffold Post title:string content:string
