Rails 5 API support

[ivanjolic95]

Are there any plans to support Rails 5 API? The problem with it is that API controllers don't have helper_method. One solution would be to inherit gem's EmberController from a special EmberController (or whatever the name is) in app that inherits ActionController::Base instead of ActionController::API. Right now it inherits ApplicationController which is an API controller in Rails 5 API. I've configured ember-cli-rails to support testing the gem on Rails 5.0.0.beta1 locally so I can make it work that way.

The other solution would be to add a note in readme to make ApplicationController inherit ActionController::Base when using Rails 5 API.

@ivanjolic95 thanks for opening this issue.

I'm unfamiliar with most of the changes coming in Rails 5, so I'm having trouble following your suggestions.

Are you saying that when you rails new --api, your app's ApplicationController extends from ActionController::API instead of ActionController::Base?

[ivanjolic95]

Yeah, that's right.

And if you try to use this gem with it, there's an error because helper_method is not defined for the ActionController::API

@ivanjolic95 @seanpdoyle I updated my project with rails 5 beta 1. I am using full rails(not only API) and I get 500 standard error instead of ember application and nothing in server logs.
It looks like ActionController::Base really doesn't have helper_method too

[ivanjolic95]

@KirillSuhodolov it's working for me when I use ActionController::Base. Which version of ember are you using?

If anyone is following this issue and needs ember-cli-rails support with a Rails 5 build, feel free to use my fork of this repository (updated for use with Rails 5) until this gets straightened out. I'll keep it as current as possible.

Thoughts on this going forward, @seanpdoyle? Would love to send a patch through to you.
