🌐 Structuring Namespaced API Controllers​

Organize API versions using controller namespaces to manage breaking changes. Create a parent API::V1::BaseController for shared API behaviors and inherit in versioned controllers. This structure keeps different API versions isolated.

# app/controllers/api/v1/base_controller.rb
module API
  module V1
    class BaseController < ActionController::API
      before_action :authenticate_api_user!
    end
  end
end

# app/controllers/api/v1/articles_controller.rb
module API
  module V1
    class ArticlesController < BaseController
      def index
        render json: Article.all
      end
    end
  end
end
