Rails4 - How to inherit from RocketPants::Base correctly?

[suramai]

I am trying to create API for my Rails app. I have these following controllers.

I have the following inheritance

/app/controllers/api/api_controller.rb

module Api
  class ApiController < ApplicationController
  # logic

/app/controllers/api/home_page_controller.rb

class Api::HomePageController < Api::ApiController
   # logic

/app/controllers/api/users_controller.rb

class Api::UsersController < Api::ApiController
   # logic

/app/controllers/api/sessions_controller.rb

class Api::SessionsController < Api::ApiController
   # logic

/app/controllers/application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
   # logic

When I try to inherit from RocketPants::Base like the following as mentioned in https://github.com/Sutto/rocket_pants

/app/controllers/api/api_controller.rb

module Api
  class ApiController < RocketPants::Base
    skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token

    protect_from_forgery with: :null_session
     # logic

I get (undefined method `protect_from_forgery' for Api::ApiController:Class)error like this

Gemfile

gem 'rocket_pants', '~> 1.10.0'

Can someone kindly guide me how to add rocketpants?

Hey there,

Since we don't use the full rails stack, you can remove the skip_before_filter and protect_from_forgery lines from your controller, as we don't support them.

Thank you very much. The errors are gone.
