I have a rails application in which most of the actions respond to json.
Is there any "switch" I can turn off to prevent all the controllers from responding to json despite the respond_to
method call, or I still have to disable it manually in every action (which seems very odd).
I have a proposal, though a bit hacky I'm afraid :)
class < ApplicationController
before_filter :disable_json
def disable_json
if request.format =~ /json/
//do something you like, redirect_to or reply with message
end
end
The before_filter will be fired before any specific controller's method.
The json header is usually "application/json"
