Module: RESTFramework::Mixins::BaseControllerMixin

Included in:

BaseModelControllerMixin

Defined in:

lib/rest_framework/mixins/base_controller_mixin.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 `render_api` is implemented.
