Support ActiveRecord?

[jrgriffiniii]

This would definitely require some breaking changes in Controller behavior. Essentially, one would need more than the ID of the resource in order to query the proper table in https://github.com/samvera/hydra-editor/blob/master/lib/hydra_editor/controller_resource.rb#L3. This provides the resource for CanCan authorization, and there are tests which make it evident that no errors are thrown when the Class of the resource is not supplied in the HTTP request parameters: https://github.com/samvera/hydra-editor/blob/master/spec/controllers/records_controller_spec.rb#L132

These requests would need to fail unless the type parameter were provided so that https://github.com/samvera/hydra-editor/blob/master/lib/hydra_editor/controller_resource.rb#L8 will resolve.

What if params[:id] were a GlobalID?

If we can upgrade this ticket to "Support arbitrary model types" I can start work on it ASAP.
