- #
- # But if you want to specify it based on your actions, you can use only and

- #
- # respond_to :html
- # respond_to :xml, :json, :except => [ :edit ]
- #
- # The definition above explicits that all actions respond to :html. And all
- # actions except :edit respond to :xml and :json.

- # You can specify also only parameters:

- # Without web-service support, an action which collects the data for displaying a list of people
- # might look something like this:
- #
- # def index
- # @people = Person.find(:all)
- # end
- #
- # Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
- #
- # def index
- # @people = Person.find(:all)
- #
- # respond_to do |format|
- # format.html
- # format.xml { render :xml => @people.to_xml }
- # end
- # end
- #
- # What that says is, "if the client wants HTML in response to this action, just respond as we
- # would have before, but if the client wants XML, return them the list of people in XML format."
- # (Rails determines the desired response format from the HTTP Accept header submitted by the client.)
- #
- # Supposing you have an action that adds a new person, optionally creating their company
- # (by name) if it does not already exist, without web-services, it might look like this:
- #
- # def create
- # @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(params[:company][:name])
- # @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
- #
- # redirect_to(person_list_url)
- # end
- #
- # Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
- #
- # def create
- # company = params[:person].delete(:company)
- # @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
- # @person = @company.people.create(params[:person])
- #
- # respond_to do |format|
- # format.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) }
- # format.js
- # format.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => @company) }
- # end
- # end
- #
- # If the client wants HTML, we just redirect them back to the person list. If they want Javascript
- # (format.js), then it is an RJS request and we render the RJS template associated with this action.
- # Lastly, if the client wants XML, we render the created person as XML, but with a twist: we also
- # include the person's company in the rendered XML, so you get something like this:
- #
- # <person>
- # <id>...</id>
- # ...
- # <company>
- # <id>...</id>
- # <name>...</name>
- # ...
- # </company>
- # </person>
- #
- # Note, however, the extra bit at the top of that action:
- #
- # company = params[:person].delete(:company)
- # @company = Company.find_or_create_by_name(company[:name])
- #
- # This is because the incoming XML document (if a web-service request is in process) can only contain a
- # single root-node. So, we have to rearrange things so that the request looks like this (url-encoded):
- #
- # person[name]=...&person[company][name]=...&...
- #
- # And, like this (xml-encoded):
- #
- # <person>
- # <name>...</name>
- # <company>
- # <name>...</name>
- # </company>
- # </person>
- #
- # In other words, we make the request so that it operates on a single entity's person. Then, in the action,
- # we extract the company data from the request, find or create the company, and then create the new person
- # with the remaining data.
- #
- # Note that you can define your own XML parameter parser which would allow you to describe multiple entities
- # in a single request (i.e., by wrapping them all in a single root node), but if you just go with the flow
- # and accept Rails' defaults, life will be much easier.
- #
- # If you need to use a MIME type which isn't supported by default, you can register your own handlers in
- # environment.rb as follows.
- #
- # Mime::Type.register "image/jpg", :jpg
- #
- # Respond to also allows you to specify a common block for different formats by using any:
- #
- # def index
- # @people = Person.find(:all)
- #
- # respond_to do |format|
- # format.html
- # format.any(:xml, :json) { render request.format.to_sym => @people }
- # end
- # end
- #
- # In the example above, if the format is xml, it will render:
- #
- # render :xml => @people
- #
- # Or if the format is json:
- #
- # render :json => @people
- #
- # Since this is a common pattern, you can use the class method respond_to
- # with the respond_with method to have the same results:
- #
- # class PeopleController < ApplicationController
- # respond_to :html, :xml, :json
- #
- # def index
- # @people = Person.find(:all)
- # respond_with(@person)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # Be sure to check respond_with and respond_to documentation for more examples.

- # respond_with allows you to respond an action with a given resource. It
- # requires that you set your class with a :respond_to method with the

- #
- # class PeopleController < ApplicationController
- # respond_to :html, :xml, :json
- #
- # def index
- # @people = Person.find(:all)
- # respond_with(@person)
- # end
- # end
- #
- # When a request comes with format :xml, the respond_with will first search
- # for a template as person/index.xml, if the template is not available, it
- # will see if the given resource responds to :to_xml.
- #
- # If neither are available, it will raise an error.
- #
- # Extra parameters given to respond_with are used when :to_format is invoked.
- # This allows you to set status and location for several formats at the same
- # time. Consider this restful controller response on create for both xml
- # and json formats:
- #
- # class PeopleController < ApplicationController
- # respond_to :xml, :json
- #
- # def create
- # @person = Person.new(params[:person])
- #
- # if @person.save
- # respond_with(@person, :status => :ok, :location => person_url(@person))
- # else
- # respond_with(@person.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity)
- # end
- # end
- # end
- #
- # Finally, respond_with also accepts blocks, as in respond_to. Let's take
- # the same controller and create action above and add common html behavior:
- #
- # class PeopleController < ApplicationController
- # respond_to :html, :xml, :json
- #
- # def create
- # @person = Person.new(params[:person])
- #
- # if @person.save
- # options = { :status => :ok, :location => person_url(@person) }
- #
- # respond_with(@person, options) do |format|
- # format.html { redirect_to options[:location] }
- # end
- # else
- # respond_with(@person.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity) do
- # format.html { render :action => :new }
- # end
