Simple respond_with in rails that avoids 204 from PUT

Question

I want to PUT to rails and avoid getting a 204. I am using this pattern:

class SomeController < ApplicationController
  respond_

Just to clarify, you do not need the responders gem to do this... You can just do:

config/initializers/responder_with_put_content.rb

class ResponderWithPutContent < ActionController::Responder
  def api_behavior(*args, &block)
    if put?
      display resource, :status => :ok
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

and then either (for all updates actions to be affected):

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def self.responder
    ResponderWithPutContent
  end
end

or in your action:

def update
  foo = Foo.find(params[:id])
  foo.update_attributes(params[:foo])
  respond_with foo, responder: ResponderWithPutContent
end
