dry_crud generates simple and extendable controller, views and helpers that support you to DRY up the CRUD code in your Rails project. Start with these elements and build a clean base to efficiently develop your application upon. Version 1.0.0 is built for Rails 3.
The main idea of dry_crud is to concentrate basic functionality of your application, like CRUD actions, uniform formatting, forms and tables into specifically extendable units. dry_crud generates various foundation classes that you may freely adapt to your application’s needs. For each model, you may transparently customize arbitrary parts or just fallback to the general behavior. This applies not only for controllers, but also for view templates and helpers.
A core element of dry_crud is the RenderInheritable module. This gives you inheritable views and partials. In the default case, a template is searched in the current controller’s view folder. If it is not found there, the template with the same name in the view folder of the superclass controller is used. This lookup path might be customized as well. RenderInheritable is also available as a stand-alone gem at GitHub - codez/render_inheritable: A Rails 3 plugin that allows one to inherit or override single views and partials for controller hierarchies..
Enjoy dry_crud and stay DRY!
