Docs: use idiomatic Pundit/CanCanCan authorization recipes - #39
Merged
Conversation
The Pundit recipe hardcoded the policy class (UserPolicy.new); use Pundit.policy! so the record drives policy lookup, matching how a controller resolves it. The CanCanCan recipe built Ability.new inside the action; inject current_ability instead, since can?/authorize! already delegate to it. Switch the example resource from User to Project so the actor (current_user) and the authorized object are visually distinct.
