module DryCrud

  # Provides functionality to nest controllers/resources.
  # If a controller is nested, the parent classes and namespaces
  # may be defined as an array in the +nesting+ class attribute.
  #
  # For example, a cities controller, nested in country and a admin
  # namespace, may define this attribute as follows:
  #   self.nesting = :admin, Country
  module Nestable

    # Adds the :nesting class attribute and parent helper methods
    # to the including controller.
