History

Daniel Colson 754ed1f45b Restore the behavior of journey root node methods https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/39935 changed the behavior of `Path::Pattern#spec` and `Route#ast` to return an `Ast` rather than the root `Node`. After eager loading, however, we clear out the `Ast` to limit retained memory and these methods return `nil`. While these methods are not public and they aren't used internally after eager loading, having them return `nil` makes it difficult for applications that had been using these methods to get access to the root `Node`. This commit restores the behavior of these two methods to return the root `Node`. The `Ast` is still available via `Path::Pattern#ast`, and we still clear it out after eager loading. Now that spec is a `Node` and not an `Ast` masquerading as one, we can get rid of the delegate methods on `Ast. Since `Route#ast` now returns the root `Node`, the newly added `Route#ast_root` is no longer necessary so I've removed it. I also removed the unused `@decorated_ast` method, which should have been removed in https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/39935.		2021-08-12 09:51:38 -04:00

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses. In short, Action Pack
provides the controller layer in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.

You can read more about Action Pack in the {Action Controller Overview}[https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_controller_overview.html] guide.
