From 002713c64568114f3754799acc0723ea0d442f7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Lee Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 14:03:55 -0700 Subject: Add config.default_method_for_update to support PATCH PATCH is the correct HTML verb to map to the #update action. The semantics for PATCH allows for partial updates, whereas PUT requires a complete replacement. Changes: * adds config.default_method_for_update you can set to :patch * optionally use PATCH instead of PUT in resource routes and forms * adds the #patch verb to routes to detect PATCH requests * adds #patch? to Request * changes documentation and comments to indicate support for PATCH This change maintains complete backwards compatibility by keeping :put as the default for config.default_method_for_update. --- railties/guides/source/action_controller_overview.textile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'railties/guides/source/action_controller_overview.textile') diff --git a/railties/guides/source/action_controller_overview.textile b/railties/guides/source/action_controller_overview.textile index bc85f07ecc..52d134ace5 100644 --- a/railties/guides/source/action_controller_overview.textile +++ b/railties/guides/source/action_controller_overview.textile @@ -563,7 +563,7 @@ The request object contains a lot of useful information about the request coming |domain(n=2)|The hostname's first +n+ segments, starting from the right (the TLD).| |format|The content type requested by the client.| |method|The HTTP method used for the request.| -|get?, post?, put?, delete?, head?|Returns true if the HTTP method is GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/HEAD.| +|get?, post?, patch?, put?, delete?, head?|Returns true if the HTTP method is GET/POST/PATCH/PUT/DELETE/HEAD.| |headers|Returns a hash containing the headers associated with the request.| |port|The port number (integer) used for the request.| |protocol|Returns a string containing the protocol used plus "://", for example "http://".| -- cgit v1.2.3
