display

display(resource, given_options={})
protected

Display is just a shortcut to render a resource with the current format.

display @user, :status => :ok

For XML requests it’s equivalent to:

render :xml => @user, :status => :ok

Options sent by the user are also used:

respond_with(@user, :status => :created)
display(@user, :status => :ok)

Results in:

render :xml => @user, :status => :created
