Question

Following code climate analysis, I found that my controllers are not DRY as it could be.
The methods like:

   def index
    @animals = current_user.animals.valid_animals.search(params[:search], params[:page])
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @animals }
    end   
 end

Are basically equal in all the controllers.

Basically, the scaffold rails generated code are “the same” in all controllers.
How can I made it more clean and dry in a real good way?

thanks in advance

You could use respond_with for these actions.

class AnimalController < ApplicationController
  respond_to :html, :json

  def index
    @animals = current_user.animals.valid_animals.search(params[:search], params[:page])
    respond_with @animals
  end   
end
