Controller InheritedResources::Base

Question

I scaffolded in rails and instead of the general

class UtilLegalsController < ApplicationController

I got

class UtilLegalsController < InheritedResources::Base

Anyone know why? Whats the difference? What's the correct option for BAU controller?

Answer 1

May be, you are using gem which includes gem inherited_resources (for example active_admin). In this case you can generate scaffold with -c=scaffold_controller option:

rails g scaffold Post user:references title:string body:text -c=scaffold_controller

This will bypass inherited_resources controller.

Answer 2

Probably you are using a Rails environment that has the Inherited Resources gem installed. It's not a problem, once this gem, inherits from ApplicationController, and consequently extends it behavior.
