splice out controller & views into separate gem

[egbert]

I wanted to use just the crud controllers and views in a project and was able to accomplice this without too much trouble.

But it would be nice if you could do this:

• add a gem (brightscaffold? :wink: )
• inherit controller from gem supplied controller ThingsController < Brightscaffold::BaseController
• add some routes resources :things
• have a nice crud interface for a resource

Then you'd just supply your own layout and take care of your own authorization.

Thoughts?

[egbert]

an additional advantage would be that this crud interface could be used in publicly accessible parts of apps, which has the potential for a lot more exposure of the gems :smile:

So what would this look like, would you still have tabs or just the resource on the page? What would the differences with brightcontent-core be?

[egbert]

I guess the tabs could be a separate gem as well? The differences with brightcontent-core would be:

• no authentication
• no layout
• no bootstrap? (bring your own (modified) flavour?)

I think brightcrud would be a better name btw :wink:
