Rendering show template with Responders gem

Question

So my question is how to render the show template only if the entity belongs to the current user. I have this code in my controller

 def show
   respond_with(@site) if current_user.author_of?(@site)
 end

But it still renders the show template. What is the right approach?

@site is this one

def find_site
  @site = Site.find(params[:id])
end

Answer 1

The best place to put this logic is within the find_site method.

Scope the query to the user. Assuming your relationship is user has_many sites, the following code will work:

@site = current_user.sites.find(params[:id])
