DynamicRouter

Add dynamic routes based on model attributes

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dynamic_router'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dynamic_router

Usage

Suppose you want to create a friendly URL for a resource based on fields of an example model:

class Example < ActiveRecord::Base
    # This model has a field called 'url'
end

To create a route to a resource using the field 'url' as URL, add the following line to your routes.rb:

DynamicRouter::Router.has_dynamic_route_for Example, Proc.new {|example| "/#{example.url}"}, "dummy#dummy_method"

After this when you create models like:

Example.create!(:url => "abc")
Example.create!(:url => "123")

The dynamic router will create the routes "/abc" and "/123" mapping to DummyController#dummy_method

You can pass the desired HTTP method also:

DynamicRouter::Router.has_dynamic_route_for Example, Proc.new {|example| "/#{example.url}"}, "dummy#dummy_method", :method => :post

And can specify default values to be passed, like:

DynamicRouter::Router.has_dynamic_route_for Example, Proc.new {|example| "/#{example.url}"}, "dummy#dummy_method", :defaults => {:some_value => Proc.new {|example| example.default_field}}

The dynamic router will map ALL records of the model on the startup and will create an after_save hook to create new routes as the models are created.
