Description

Initial pseudo-code:

const registerController = (name, initialController, overridedController, application) => {
  const controller = overridedController || initialController
  application.register(name, controller)
}

// instead of 
application.register('action', ActionController)

registerController('action', ActionController, application)

It would be nice to be able to specify some conditionals.

  • if resource is user, use my version, if not, use default

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Avo currently registers JavaScript controllers, likely via Stimulus, and design a method to allow override based on resource conditions. Examine existing patterns like 'Rails engines' or 'controller inheritance' for inspiration. Provide a pull request that implements the proposed registerController function or similar mechanism.
