Rails - Aug 2005 - Controller Size

Is there a way to split up your controller modules into smaller modules?
Eventually they can become unmanageable.

multiple controllers?

If you must have one controller, why not split the methods up into
modules and include them as mixins?

module PublicFooMethods
  def index
  end
end

module BlueFooMethods
  def blue
  end
end

class FooController << AC::Base
  include PublicFooMethods
  include BlueFooMethods
end

I''d save those mixins as separate files like
''lib/public_foo_methods.rb'' and
''lib/blue_foo_methods.rb'' so that
rails can find them for you.
