What is the best way to add some API-ish behaviour to a standard Rails application ? I mean, is it possible to add some new actions to a controller or modify the existing ones so that they return JSON (without specifying JSON extension in the URL (like http://myhost.com/books and not http://myhost.com/books.json and be able to return either HTML or JSON in the same time? Thank you.
I think the simplest solution would be to add the following to a new action:
def index
@books = Book.all
render json: @books
end
When trying it with httpi here the response I get:
