Can I use this for Rails API-only applications?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for API controllers, JSON rendering, and handling request formats without the overhead of traditional HTML views.

What are Rails Action Controller patterns?

These are standardized methods for handling web requests in Ruby on Rails, ensuring that logic for routing, data sanitization, and response rendering follows the MVC pattern and RESTful conventions.

Does it support nested resources?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns for both nested routing in config/routes.rb and handling nested attributes within strong parameter definitions.

How does this skill handle security?

The skill emphasizes security through patterns for Strong Parameters to prevent mass-assignment vulnerabilities and controller filters for proper authentication and authorization checks.
