It +provides mechanisms for routing (mapping request URLs to actions), defining +controllers that implement actions, and generating responses. In short, Action +Pack provides the controller layer in the MVC paradigm. + +It consists of several modules: +- Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles + routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP + such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT + bodies, handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions. +- Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be + subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result of + an action is typically content generated from views. + +With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the Action +Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated by +default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action Controller. +However, these modules are designed to function on their own and can be used +outside of Rails. |
