Instance Method Details

#resource(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Behavior#resource is a route helper for defining a singular RESTful resource. It yields to a block for child routes.

Parameters

name<String, Symbol>

The name of the resource.

options<Hash>

Overides and parameters to be associated with the route.

Options (options)

:namespace<~to_s>: The namespace for this route. :name_prefix<~to_s>:

A prefix for the named routes. If a namespace is passed and there
isn't a name prefix, the namespace will become the prefix.

:controller<~to_s>: The controller for this route

Block parameters

next_level<Behavior>

The child behavior.

Returns

Array

Routes which define a RESTful single resource.

Examples

r.resource :account # will result in the typical RESTful CRUD
  # shows new resource form      
  # GET     /account/new                :action => "new"

  # creates resource      
  # POST    /account/?(\.:format)?,     :action => "create"

  # shows resource      
  # GET     /account/(\.:format)?       :action => "show"

  # shows edit form      
  # GET     /account//edit           :action => "edit"

  # updates resource      
  # PUT     /account/(\.:format)?       :action => "update"

  # shows deletion confirmation page      
  # GET     /account//delete         :action => "delete"

  # destroys resources      
  # DELETE  /account/(\.:format)?       :action => "destroy"

You can optionally pass :namespace and :controller to refine the routing or pass a block to nest resources.

r.resource :account, :namespace => "admin" do ||
  .resources :preferences, :controller => "settings"
end

#resources(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Behavior#resources is a route helper for defining a collection of RESTful resources. It yields to a block for child routes.

Parameters

name<String, Symbol>

The name of the resources

options<Hash>

Ovverides and parameters to be associated with the route

Options (options)

:namespace<~to_s>: The namespace for this route. :name_prefix<~to_s>:

A prefix for the named routes. If a namespace is passed and there
isn't a name prefix, the namespace will become the prefix.

:controller<~to_s>: The controller for this route :collection<~to_s>: Special settings for the collections routes :member<Hash>:

Special settings and resources related to a specific member of this
resource.

:identify<Symbol|Array>: The method(s) that should be called on the object

before inserting it into an URL.

:keys<Array>:

A list of the keys to be used instead of :id with the resource in the order of the url.

:singular<Symbol>

Block parameters

next_level<Behavior>

The child behavior.

Returns

Array

Routes which will define the specified RESTful collection of resources

Examples

r.resources :posts # will result in the typical RESTful CRUD
  # lists resources
  # GET     /posts/?(\.:format)?      :action => "index"
  # GET     /posts/index(\.:format)?  :action => "index"

  # shows new resource form
  # GET     /posts/new                :action => "new"

  # creates resource
  # POST    /posts/?(\.:format)?,     :action => "create"

  # shows resource
  # GET     /posts/:id(\.:format)?    :action => "show"

  # shows edit form
  # GET     /posts/:id/edit        :action => "edit"

  # updates resource
  # PUT     /posts/:id(\.:format)?    :action => "update"

  # shows deletion confirmation page
  # GET     /posts/:id/delete      :action => "delete"

  # destroys resources
  # DELETE  /posts/:id(\.:format)?    :action => "destroy"

# Nesting resources
