module ActionController
  # ActionController::Metal provides a way to get a valid Rack application from a controller.
  #
  # In AbstractController, dispatching is triggered directly by calling #process on a new controller.
  # ActionController::Metal provides an #action method that returns a valid Rack application for a
  # given action. Other rack builders, such as Rack::Builder, Rack::URLMap, and the Rails router,
  # can dispatch directly to the action returned by FooController.action(:index).
