The components route was tried but apparently had negative performance attributes. For this and probably other reasons, Rails Core is not advocating use of components. However, plugins will fill the same bill.
Any extension you make to ActionController in your plugin will be seen by all controllers, and it sounds like that's the only place where you need to make changes. The one additional wrinkle is where the template goes. I recommend putting the template in the plugin tree as well in a views directory, then changing telling Rails where to find the correct view. You do that by changing template_root in earlier versions of Rails and by calling class function prepend_view_path in edge. Here's an example (untested, sorry):
class ActionController prepend_view_path "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/my_plugin/lib/app/views"
def new_order @order = Order.new # should look for template in your plugin/lib/app/views directory end
# etc. end
Hope this helps.
