My routes file contains:
concern :generic_table do
get 'search_suggestions' => 'search_suggestions'
end
get 'human_resources/' => 'human_resources#index'
namespace :human_resources do
get 'settings/' => 'settings#index'
namespace :settings do
resources :constants do
concerns :generic_table
end
end
end
And it produces:
/human_resources/settings/constants/:constant_id/search_suggestions(.:format)
human_resources/settings/search_suggestions#search_suggestions
I am trying to remove the /:constant_id/ part and it point to the controller action:
human_resources/settings/constants/search_suggestions#search_suggestions
So in finality it would be
/human_resources/settings/constants/search_suggestions(.:format)
human_resources/settings/constants/search_suggestions#search_suggestions
How can I remove the /:constant_id/ part; and point it directly to my controllers action so my search bar my access the search suggestion for AJAX?
I think you just need to replace the resources block by a namespace one. It is the resources block that generates the parameter.
See also the member block if you need id instead of constant_id.
One extra point: This may not generate the route helpers you want. There are extra options to pass to namespace and related to tailor the helpers.

I am trying to create a landing page for an event for people to visit to see the events details. I have created the view, added a route to the event resources and made changes to the controller but something has been done incorrectly.
Here is my code:
routes.rb:
resources :events do
resources :guests
match '/landing_page', to:'events#landing_page', as: :landing_page, :via =>[:get, :post]
# resources :guestlists
end
event_controller:
def landing_page
#event = Event.find(params[:id])
end
When I open the landing page i get the following error:
"ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn't find Event without an ID):"
In case anyone else runs into this, I wanted to document Sergio's last comment here which I believe leads to the outcome I think most people will be looking for. Nesting this inside of a member block should get you an ideal outcome:
resources :events do
member do
get :landing_page
end
end
Running rake routes should now show /events/:id/landing_page(.:format) so you can use the same method you use in your show method that just asks for params[:id].
I was wracking my brain for a while on this as rails resources seem to be dwindling on the interwebs.
I have a JSON route path that looks like this:
/jobs/{jobid}/employees/{employeeid}/departments/cubes/{cubeid}/register
The following route works fine when there was no cube and cubed:
resources :departments, only: [] do
get 'register', on: :collection
end
I tried doing this:
namespace :departments do
resources :cubes, only: [] do
get 'register', on: :collection
end
end
What change do I need to do in the above code so it will work with the route path?
When I add:
resources :jobs do
resources :employees do
namespace :departments do
get 'cubes/:cube_id/register',
to: 'cubes#register'
end
end
end
to my routes.rb and then run rake routes, I get this line in my output:
GET /jobs/:job_id/employees/:employee_id/departments/cubes/:cube_id/register(.:format) departments/cubes#register
It's not a good practice to nest resources more than 1 level
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
Resources should never be nested more than 1 level deep.
http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/2/5/nesting-resources
Rule of thumb: resources should never be nested more than 1 level
deep. A collection may need to be scoped by its parent, but a specific
member can always be accessed directly by an id, and shouldn’t need
scoping (unless the id is not unique, for some reason).
I am using Sinatra and I want to use something like a referrer code in my urls that will somewhat control access and identify the provenance of a given URL.
/secret-code/rest/of/path
should be rejected if "secret-code" is not in a predetermined list.
I want to use route conditions
set(:valid_tag) { |tag| condition { tag === 'abcd' } }
get '/:tag', :valid_tag => params[:tag] do
'Hello world!'
end
but params is not in scope. Do I need to dispatch in the block? What is the best way to handle multiple routes without having to duplicate the tag checking logic in each one?
/secret/route1/
/secret/route1/blah
/secret/route2/
Is there a way to chain handlers? Can I do
get /:tag/*
# check :tag
redirect_to_handler(params[:splat])
By the sounds of things it looks like you're trying to make use of Sinatra's named parameters. Params is only in scope within the block:
get '/:secret_code/*' do
redirect_to_handler unless secret_codes.include? params[:secret_code]
end
The code above assumes you have a collection of 'secret_codes' that you're going to check with the secret_code from the URL.
(Answering my own question)
Sinatra matches the lexically first rule and you can pass onto the next matching rule using 'pass'. So something like this works as long as it is the first rule that would match.
get '/:tag/*' do
halt_if_bad_tag params[:tag]
pass
end
get '/:tag/route1' do
'hello world'
end
I want to be able to follow a convention closer to what Rails does with resourceful routing. For example, I'm considering "signups" to be a resource, with it's own controller containing "new" and "create" actions.
In app/controllers/signup.rb I have:
MyApp.controllers :signups do
get :index do
# ...
end
post :index do
# ...
end
end
Is there any way I can use these route names, while actually responding on a path other than '/signups'? It feels like Padrino's route naming system is very tightly coupled with the URLs the routes map to.
I've tried:
MyApp.controllers :signups, :map => '/another-path' do
# ...
end
Among various other things without success. Perhaps I should just go back to using Rails... I was just getting frustrated with the startup overhead in TDD and I'm embarking on a new project at the moment (please don't refer me to Spork... that has it's own issues).
This is how I would do what you are asking
# in app/controller/signups.rb
MyApp.controllers :'another-path' do
get '/' do
# ...
end
end
I can't seem to set up a custom URL. All the RESTful routes work fine, but I can't figure out how to simply add /:unique_url to the existing routes, which I create in the model (a simple 4 character random string) and will serve as the "permalink" of sorts.
Routes.rb
resources :treks
match ':unique_url' => 'treks#mobile'
Controller
.
.
def mobile
#trek = trek.find(params[:id])
end
Is this because I'm trying to define a custom action on an existing resource? Can I not create custom methods on the same controller as one with a resource?
By the way, when I change routes.rb to match 'treks/:id/:unique_url' => treks#mobile it works fine, but I just want the url to simply be /:unique_url
Update It seems like find_by_[parameter] is the way to go...
I've been playing in console and I can't seem to get any methods to come forward...I can run Trek.last.fullname for example, but cannot run #trek = Trek.last...and then call...#trek.lastname for example. Any clues why? I think this is my issue.
So is there a field on Trek which stores its unique url? If so you should be doing something like this:
#trek = Trek.find_by_url(params[:unique_url])
trek.find_by_unique_url( params[:unique_url] ) # should do the trick
#pruett no, the find_by_XXX methods are generated on-the-fly via Ruby's method_missing call! So instead of XXX you can use any of the attributes which you defined in a model.
You can even go as far as listing multiple attributes, such as:
find_by_name_and_unique_url( the_name, the_unigue_url)
Check these pages:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html
http://m.onkey.org/active-record-query-interface
if you get a undefined method ... for nil:NilClass , it means that the object you are trying to call that method on does not exist, e.g. is nil.
You probably just missed to put an if-statement before that line to make sure the object is non-nil
Hmm. I usually would do something like this:
map.connect "/:unique_url", :controller => "treks", :action => "mobile"
Then in that controller the ID isn't going to be applicable.. you'd need to change it to something like this:
def mobile
#trek = trek.find_by_unique_url(params[:unique_url])
end
(that's if unique_url is the column to search under)
