A comprehensive guide to HTTP status codes in Ruby on Rails
The :status
option provides flexibility in customizing the HTTP status code for a Rails response. By default, Rails generates a response with the appropriate HTTP status code, typically 200 OK for successful requests. However, the :status
option allows developers to explicitly set the status code, enabling more granular control over response behavior. This option proves particularly useful when the default status code is not suitable for the response, such as returning a 404 Not Found
status code for missing resources.
