[jlsync]

Hi, this is a meta-issue looking for someone to update this gem.

I've posted a small bounty here https://www.bountysource.com/issues/46305651-update-resources_controller-rc_rails-gem-to-be-rails-5-x-compatible - rails - ruby - gem

Update rc_rails gem to be Rails 5 compatible

The resources_controller / rc_rails gem by @ianwhite from https://github.com/ianwhite/resources_controller needs to be updated to work with Rails 5.1

Rough todo list:

1. fork git repository

2. update code. sub tasks include:

   • [x] remove/replace use of alias_method_chain, hide_method and other deprecated method calls
   • [x] update to current ActiveRecord finder syntax and methods
   • [x] update default actions to be compatible with rails' strong paramaters
     • e.g. self.resource = new_resource self.send("#{resource_name}_params")
   • [x] must work with rails 5.1.x with no deprecated method warnings
     • [x] update tests and rspec version
     • all existing tests need to pass
   • [x] must work with ruby 2.4.1 with no deprecated method warnings
   • [x] all existing gem features need to work, inlcuding:
     • deeply nested resources
     • child and/or parent singluar resource when nested
     • route helpers
     • custom methods
     • custom finders
     • map_enclosing_resource
     • resource_path: in config/routes.rb
   • [ ] update readme and gem documentation where required
     • e.g. https://github.com/ianwhite/resources_controller/blob/master/lib/resources_controller.rb

This work now has been mostly done. My updates are here https://github.com/jlsync/resources_controller It seems to work with Rails 5.0.8, 5.1.1, 5.1.2rc1 okay, and probably 4.2. I am closing this issue (because it's linked to bountysource.com - please don't reopen).
