I’m still learning Rails as we go along. If possible, I’d like to not delete boilerplate patterns that I’m not entirely sure I understand. As I get better and understand more about JSON API’s, I’ll kill it in the future. Thank you for pointing this out. It was interesting to read your explanation and see your vigitox repo. I’m not there yet, but I’m definitely figuring it out. I’ll also check out the Railscast to get a better understanding of JSON API’s. In the meantime, I’ll bounty $10 to get this reverted. I imagine you spent a lot of time on this and this needs another bounty! Thank you!
