<p>and your application contains this code in the controller:</p><div class="code_container">
|

<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
276

<p>then the router will generate the path <code>/patients/17</code>. This reduces the brittleness of your view and makes your code easier to understand. Note that the id does not need to be specified in the route helper.</p><h3 id="resource-routing:-the-rails-default">2 Resource Routing: the Rails Default</h3><p>Resource routing allows you to quickly declare all of the common routes for a given resourceful controller. Instead of declaring separate routes for your <code>index</code>, <code>show</code>, <code>new</code>, <code>edit</code>, <code>create</code>, <code>update</code> and <code>destroy</code> actions, a resourceful route declares them in a single line of code.</p><h4 id="resources-on-the-web">2.1 Resources on the Web</h4><p>Browsers request pages from Rails by making a request for a URL using a specific HTTP method, such as <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <code>PATCH</code>, <code>PUT</code> and <code>DELETE</code>. Each method is a request to perform an operation on the resource. A resource route maps a number of related requests to actions in a single controller.</p><p>When your Rails application receives an incoming request for:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
287
|
+
<pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
288

</pre>

</div>
|
|
298
|
+
<p>Rails would dispatch that request to the <code>destroy</code> method on the <code>photos</code> controller with <code>{ id: '17' }</code> in <code>params</code>.</p><h4 id="crud,-verbs,-and-actions">2.2 CRUD, Verbs, and Actions</h4><p>In Rails, a resourceful route provides a mapping between HTTP verbs and URLs to controller actions. By convention, each action also maps to particular CRUD operations in a database. A single entry in the routing file, such as:</p><div class="code_container">

<p>Nested routes allow you to capture this relationship in your routing. In this case, you could include this route declaration:</p><div class="code_container">

</pre>
|
|
636
|

</div>
|
|
637
|

<p>In addition to the routes for magazines, this declaration will also route ads to an <code>AdsController</code>. The ad URLs require a magazine:</p>

<p>This will also create routing helpers such as <code>magazine_ads_url</code> and <code>edit_magazine_ad_path</code>. These helpers take an instance of Magazine as the first parameter (<code>magazine_ads_url(@magazine)</code>).</p><h5 id="limits-to-nesting">2.7.1 Limits to Nesting</h5><p>You can nest resources within other nested resources if you like. For example:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
693
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
694
|
+
resources :publishers do
|
|
695
|
+
resources :magazines do
|
|
696
|
+
resources :photos
|
|
697
|
+
end
|
|
698
|
+
end
|
|
699
|
+
|
|
700
|
+
</pre>
|
|
701
|
+
</div>
|
|
702
|
+
<p>Deeply-nested resources quickly become cumbersome. In this case, for example, the application would recognize paths such as:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
703
|
+
<pre class="brush: plain; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
704
|
+
/publishers/1/magazines/2/photos/3
|
|
705
|
+
|
|
706
|
+
</pre>
|
|
707
|
+
</div>
|
|
708
|
+
<p>The corresponding route helper would be <code>publisher_magazine_photo_url</code>, requiring you to specify objects at all three levels. Indeed, this situation is confusing enough that a popular <a href="http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/2/5/nesting-resources">article</a> by Jamis Buck proposes a rule of thumb for good Rails design:</p><div class="info"><p><em>Resources should never be nested more than 1 level deep.</em></p></div><h5 id="shallow-nesting">2.7.2 Shallow Nesting</h5><p>One way to avoid deep nesting (as recommended above) is to generate the collection actions scoped under the parent, so as to get a sense of the hierarchy, but to not nest the member actions. In other words, to only build routes with the minimal amount of information to uniquely identify the resource, like this:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
709
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
710
|
+
resources :articles do
|
|
711
|
+
resources :comments, only: [:index, :new, :create]
|
|
712
|
+
end
|
|
713
|
+
resources :comments, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
|
|
714
|
+
|
|
715
|
+
</pre>
|
|
716
|
+
</div>
|
|
717
|
+
<p>This idea strikes a balance between descriptive routes and deep nesting. There exists shorthand syntax to achieve just that, via the <code>:shallow</code> option:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
718
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
719
|
+
resources :articles do
|
|
720
|
+
resources :comments, shallow: true
|
|
721
|
+
end
|
|
722
|
+
|
|
723
|
+
</pre>
|
|
724
|
+
</div>
|
|
725
|
+
<p>This will generate the exact same routes as the first example. You can also specify the <code>:shallow</code> option in the parent resource, in which case all of the nested resources will be shallow:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
726
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
727
|
+
resources :articles, shallow: true do
|
|
728
|
+
resources :comments
|
|
729
|
+
resources :quotes
|
|
730
|
+
resources :drafts
|
|
731
|
+
end
|
|
732
|
+
|
|
733
|
+
</pre>
|
|
734
|
+
</div>
|
|
735
|
+
<p>The <code>shallow</code> method of the DSL creates a scope inside of which every nesting is shallow. This generates the same routes as the previous example:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
736
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
737
|
+
shallow do
|
|
738
|
+
resources :articles do
|
|
739
|
+
resources :comments
|
|
740
|
+
resources :quotes
|
|
741
|
+
resources :drafts
|
|
742
|
+
end
|
|
743
|
+
end
|
|
744

|
|
745
|
+
</pre>
|
|
746
|
+
</div>
|
|
747
|
+
<p>There exist two options for <code>scope</code> to customize shallow routes. <code>:shallow_path</code> prefixes member paths with the specified parameter:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
748
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
749
|
+
scope shallow_path: "sekret" do

resources :articles do

<h4 id="creating-paths-and-urls-from-objects">2.9 Creating Paths and URLs From Objects</h4><p>In addition to using the routing helpers, Rails can also create paths and URLs from an array of parameters. For example, suppose you have this set of routes:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
919
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
920
|
+
resources :magazines do
|
|
921
|
+
resources :ads
|
|
922
|
+
end
|
|
923
|
+
|
|
924
|
+
</pre>
|
|
925
|
+
</div>
|
|
926
|
+
<p>When using <code>magazine_ad_path</code>, you can pass in instances of <code>Magazine</code> and <code>Ad</code> instead of the numeric IDs:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
927
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; html-script: true; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
928
|
+
<%= link_to 'Ad details', magazine_ad_path(@magazine, @ad) %>
|
|
929
|
+
|
|
930
|
+
</pre>
|
|
931
|
+
</div>
|
|
932
|
+
<p>You can also use <code>url_for</code> with a set of objects, and Rails will automatically determine which route you want:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
933
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; html-script: true; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
934
|
+
<%= link_to 'Ad details', url_for([@magazine, @ad]) %>
|
|
935
|
+
|
|
936
|
+
</pre>
|
|
937
|
+
</div>
|
|
938
|
+
<p>In this case, Rails will see that <code>@magazine</code> is a <code>Magazine</code> and <code>@ad</code> is an <code>Ad</code> and will therefore use the <code>magazine_ad_path</code> helper. In helpers like <code>link_to</code>, you can specify just the object in place of the full <code>url_for</code> call:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
939
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; html-script: true; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
940
|
+
<%= link_to 'Ad details', [@magazine, @ad] %>
|
|
941
|
+
|
|
942
|
+
</pre>
|
|
943
|
+
</div>
|
|
944
|
+
<p>If you wanted to link to just a magazine:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
945
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; html-script: true; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
946
|
+
<%= link_to 'Magazine details', @magazine %>
|
|
947
|
+
|
|
948
|
+
</pre>
|
|
949
|
+
</div>
|
|
950
|
+
<p>For other actions, you just need to insert the action name as the first element of the array:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
951
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; html-script: true; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
952
|
+
<%= link_to 'Edit Ad', [:edit, @magazine, @ad] %>
|
|
953
|
+
|
|
954
|
+
</pre>
|
|
955
|
+
</div>
|
|
956
|
+
<p>This allows you to treat instances of your models as URLs, and is a key advantage to using the resourceful style.</p><h4 id="adding-more-restful-actions">2.10 Adding More RESTful Actions</h4><p>You are not limited to the seven routes that RESTful routing creates by default. If you like, you may add additional routes that apply to the collection or individual members of the collection.</p><h5 id="adding-member-routes">2.10.1 Adding Member Routes</h5><p>To add a member route, just add a <code>member</code> block into the resource block:</p><div class="code_container">

Here, you don't get groups of routes automatically generated by resourceful routing. Instead, you set up each route within your application separately.</p><p>While you should usually use resourceful routing, there are still many places where the simpler routing is more appropriate. There's no need to try to shoehorn every last piece of your application into a resourceful framework if that's not a good fit.</p><p>In particular, simple routing makes it very easy to map legacy URLs to new Rails actions.</p><h4 id="bound-parameters">3.1 Bound Parameters</h4><p>When you set up a regular route, you supply a series of symbols that Rails maps to parts of an incoming HTTP request. Two of these symbols are special: <code>:controller</code> maps to the name of a controller in your application, and <code>:action</code> maps to the name of an action within that controller. For example, consider this route:</p><div class="code_container">
|
|
1004
|
+
<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">
|
|
1005

|
+
</pre>
|
|
1008
|
+
</div>
|
|
1009
|
+
<p>If an incoming request of <code>/photos/show/1</code> is processed by this route (because it hasn't matched any previous route in the file), then the result will be to invoke the <code>show</code> action of the <code>PhotosController</code>, and to make the final parameter <code>"1"</code> available as <code>params[:id]</code>. This route will also route the incoming request of <code>/photos</code> to <code>PhotosController#index</code>, since <code>:action</code> and <code>:id</code> are optional parameters, denoted by parentheses.</p><h4 id="dynamic-segments">3.2 Dynamic Segments</h4><p>You can set up as many dynamic segments within a regular route as you like. Anything other than <code>:controller</code> or <code>:action</code> will be available to the action as part of <code>params</code>. If you set up this route:</p><div class="code_container">

For example: <code>constraints: { subdomain: 'api' }</code> will match an <code>api</code> subdomain as expected, however using a symbol <code>constraints: { subdomain: :api }</code> will not, because <code>request.subdomain</code> returns <code>'api'</code> as a String.</p></div><h4 id="advanced-constraints">3.10 Advanced Constraints</h4><p>If you have a more advanced constraint, you can provide an object that responds to <code>matches?</code> that Rails should use.

<p>This route would match <code>photos/12</code> or <code>/photos/long/path/to/12</code>, setting <code>params[:other]</code> to <code>"12"</code> or <code>"long/path/to/12"</code>. The fragments prefixed with a star are called "wildcard segments".</p><p>Wildcard segments can occur anywhere in a route. For example:</p><div class="code_container">

<h4 id="prefixing-the-named-route-helpers">4.5 Prefixing the Named Route Helpers</h4><p>You can use the <code>:as</code> option to prefix the named route helpers that Rails generates for a route.

<p>This will provide route helpers such as <code>admin_photos_path</code>, <code>new_admin_photo_path</code>, etc.</p><p>To prefix a group of route helpers, use <code>:as</code> with <code>scope</code>:</p><div class="code_container">

<p>This will provide you with URLs such as <code>/bob/articles/1</code> and will allow you to reference the <code>username</code> part of the path as <code>params[:username]</code> in controllers, helpers and views.</p><h4 id="restricting-the-routes-created">4.6 Restricting the Routes Created</h4><p>By default, Rails creates routes for the seven default actions (<code>index</code>, <code>show</code>, <code>new</code>, <code>create</code>, <code>edit</code>, <code>update</code>, and <code>destroy</code>) for every RESTful route in your application. You can use the <code>:only</code> and <code>:except</code> options to fine-tune this behavior. The <code>:only</code> option tells Rails to create only the specified routes:</p><div class="code_container">
|

1413

<pre class="brush: ruby; gutter: false; toolbar: false">

|
+
</pre>
|
|
1417
|
+
</div>
|
|
1418
|
+
<p>Now, a <code>GET</code> request to <code>/photos</code> would succeed, but a <code>POST</code> request to <code>/photos</code> (which would ordinarily be routed to the <code>create</code> action) will fail.</p><p>The <code>:except</code> option specifies a route or list of routes that Rails should <em>not</em> create:</p><div class="code_container">

|
1419

|
+
</pre>
|
|
1423
|
+
</div>
|
|
1424
|
+
<p>In this case, Rails will create all of the normal routes except the route for <code>destroy</code> (a <code>DELETE</code> request to <code>/photos/:id</code>).</p><div class="info"><p>If your application has many RESTful routes, using <code>:only</code> and <code>:except</code> to generate only the routes that you actually need can cut down on memory use and speed up the routing process.</p></div><h4 id="translated-paths">4.7 Translated Paths</h4><p>Using <code>scope</code>, we can alter path names generated by resources:</p><div class="code_container">

You can also execute the <code>rake routes</code> command in your terminal to produce the same output.</p><p>Both methods will list all of your routes, in the same order that they appear in <code>routes.rb</code>. For each route, you'll see:</p>
|
|
1528
|
+
<ul>
|
|
1529
|
+
<li>The route name (if any)</li>
|
|
1530
|
+
<li>The HTTP verb used (if the route doesn't respond to all verbs)</li>
|
|
1531
