Module: RESTFramework::BaseControllerMixin

Included in:
BaseModelControllerMixin
Defined in:
lib/rest_framework/controller_mixins/base.rb

Overview

This module provides the common functionality for any controller mixins, a `root` action, and the ability to route arbitrary actions with `extra_actions`. This is also where `api_response` is defined.
