I ran the command rails generate controller sessions to build my sessions applications file. The sessions_controller.rb and /views/sessions/ folder were created. However, I am not seeing the following files in the sessions folder:
create.html.erb
destroy.html.erb
new.html.erb
Are these files supposed to be auto generated or is it okay to create them manually?
you should use command like :- rails generate controller sessions create new destroy
it will create following files
create app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb
route get 'sessions/create'
get 'sessions/new'
get 'sessions/destroy'
invoke erb
create app/views/sessions
create app/views/sessions/create.html.erb
create app/views/sessions/new.html.erb
create app/views/sessions/destroy.html.erb
invoke test_unit
create test/controllers/sessions_controller_test.rb
invoke helper
create app/helpers/sessions_helper.rb
invoke test_unit
invoke assets
invoke scss
create app/assets/stylesheets/sessions.scss
rails g controller sessions
will only create a controller itself and a directory to house the views, no routes or view files.
To get those files, instead run
rails g controller sessions create destroy new
Note that when the routes are generated for this, they will not be named routes. They will loo like:
get 'sessions/create'
get 'sessions/destroy'
get 'sessions/new'
So it might be preferable to change those to a resource
resources :sessions, only: [:create, :new, :destroy]
which will give you the ability to use those paths, eg,
new_session_path
Alternatively, you could create you own names for them
get 'sessions/new', to: 'sessions#create', as: :new

I'm running into a couple of errors when i try to define a root to a namespace. To recreate this, I'll rebuild a project from scratch.
rails new rails_test
cd rails_test
rails generate controller admin
rake db:migrate
Now I put some boilerplate in app/controllers/admin_controller.rb
class AdminController < ApplicationController
def index
end
end
in app/views/admin/index.html.erb
<p>Index</p>
and finally in config/routes.rb
root to: 'admin#index'
This all works perfectly, when i start the server and hit '/' (root) url (it goes to the admin index page), but it's not what I want.
This is meant to be part of a bigger project and I want to hit the /admin url and get the admin index so (following from http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#using-root) I change routes.rb to:
namespace :admin do
root to: "admin#index"
end
but I get a routing error:
uninitialized constant Admin
with a routes list containing 1 line:
admin_root_path GET /admin(.:format) admin/admin#index
My thinking from reading the end of this last line is that I'm already in the admin namespace so maybe i don't need to specify the controller index is in so I try changing routes to:
namespace :admin do
root to: "index"
end
But that gives me an ArgumentError saying "missing :action" on the 'root to: "index"' line.
I can get around it by using scope, but it looks like using namespace is a bit cleaner and I want to understand whats going wrong here.

Any help is apprechiated
namespace namespaces controllers as well. Change yours to
class Admin::AdminController < ApplicationController
def index
end
end
And move it under app/controllers/admin. That's what admin/admin#index means. :)
According to rubyonrails.org guide on routing you should be able to do something like this.
it should looks like this
namespace :admin do
root to: "admin#index"
end
root to: "home#index"
What do you get with rake routes?
on rails 4 in routes two roots not permited now
use
get "/admin" => "admin/admin#index", :as => "admin"
Type in terminal
rails generate scaffold Admin::User username email
rake db:migrate
if only Controller type this
rails generate controller Admin::User
I think what you really want is something like
namespace :admin do
get 'other'
end
get 'admin' => 'admin#index'
This allows for the index and other methods to be in straightforward AdminController controller in usual directory, views to go in views/admin etc.
You could probably also use
resource :admin, only: [:index] do
get 'other'
end
I am trying to make a controller with one action and when i try and go to the localhost:3000/controllername/action i get this error:
The action 'show' could not be found for LearnController
Here is my controller:
class LearnController < ApplicationController
def more
end
end
and in routes i do this:
resources :learn
I know that resources creates all the show, edit, index and all that but how do I make it so only the actions i create are created in the routes?
As you mention, resources :learn will create a bunch of routes according to the resourceful convention.
If you don't want those, don't use resources in your config/routes.rb file. Instead, use get, match, and friends to define your routes manually. E.g.
get 'learn/more'
I'm still trying to get the hang of rails and i'm trying to create a simple app with a form where i can enter the data and then submit it and it will be stored in the db. I got this very simple by starting a new project and then running:
$ rails generate scaffold RSVP firstName:string lastName:string
Now i want to redirect to a thank you page after adding a new record via the form.
I've manually added the method below to my rsvps_controller.rb file:
# GET /rsvps/thank_you
def thank_you
respond_to do |format|
format.html # thank_you.html.erb
format.json { render json: #rsvps }
end
end
This line is in my routes file:
resources :rsvps
My question is, when i run rake routes, i don't see a route for my thank_you method. Shouldn't my :rsvps resource pick up my thank_you route and how does the routes know which controller method are which http calls(get, post, put, etc)?
In order to get a route that will hit that action in your controller you should have in your routes.rb file something like:
resources :rsvps do
member { get :thank_you }
end
or
resources :rsvps do
collection { get :thank_you }
end
it depends for if you want to access the resource you've just created or not.
You can take a look # http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html it should help you understating the routing mechanism better.
Adding on to what wlad said, the resources :rsvps things in your routes.rb file creates a set of default routes that are going to be needed by most models. Things like index, new, create, or show. The reason your thank_you action isn't showing up in rake routes is because thank_you isn't one of the actions that were so common that they needed to be included out of the box without extra code.
If you are going to need to load a rsvp model on the thank you page to display any data in that model then you will need to use a member route. The :id in the route will be there because this is a resources member route and has to be associated with a particular resource. There has to be something in the url to know what to load.
resources :rsvps do
member { get :thank_you } #GET /rsvps/:id/thank_you(.:format)
end
If you just want a generic route that points to that controller action then you can use something like this:
match "/rsvps/thank_you" => "rsvps#thank_you", as: "rsvp_thank_you"
You can add more actions to any controller but rails will not treat this functions as actions unless you specify them in routes file. It will be treated as just another function in controller class created by user.
so if you want to add the thank_you function as action you need to add this to routes file.
There are multiple ways of doing so as others have explained in their answers.
adding-more-restful-actions
Using member and collection inside resources.
Use member when you want the function to be used only with the some model object.
eg: preview for photo id 1
GET /photos/:id/preview
In our example you member if you want such route and functionality.
GET /rsvps/:id/thank_you
Note :id in params is needed when you specify it as a member action.
resources :rsvps do
member do
get :thank_you #GET /rsvps/:id/thank_you(.:format)
end
end
Use collection if you want to call the action directly like
GET /rsvps/thank_you(.:format)
in resources
resources :rsvps do
collection do
get :thank_you #GET /rsvps/thank_you(.:format)
end
end
You need to specify the type of action (GET|POST) while adding it to routes.
In our example thank_you has been specified as a GET action. You can choose either.
You can create you own preety_urls or non restful routes using match.
(This will also require to have the action defined in resources block).
check out more on match here http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#non-resourceful-routes
I suggest you to go through this awesome documentation created by the rails team.(once more ;) ) http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
Cheers.
As you have said you just want to show a thank you page for each rsvp so a member route should be used. like this
resources :rsvps do
member get :thank_you
end
You should use collection of thank_you when you want to show all or some specific collection of thank_you.
when you include this and run rake routes again you will see the new http action there.
When generating a controller, rails automatically put 'get controller/action' at top of routes.rb file for each of the resourceful action (such as index, new, create, edit. etc.). What's purpose of this 'get'? Since there is a 'resources' for the same model in routes.rb, can we get rid of this 'get'? Is the 'get' needed for 'put' custom action in routes.rb?
Thanks so much.
You can safely remove that route.
The proper layout for basic resource routing in Rails 3.1 follows this format:
resources :users do # Provides GET /users, /users/new, /users/:id, /users/:id/edit, POST /users, PUT /users/:id, DELETE /users/:id
# Additional routes which return collections (not CRUD)
collection do
get :search # /users/search
end
# Additional routes which return single models (not CRUD)
member do
put :add_friend # /users/:id/add_friend
end
end

i have a simple cms on ROR 3.2.
with this folder scheme:
app |controllers |my controllers
but i wanted to have an "admin" section where i could have some controllers too.
so i created
rails generate controller admin/Users
app | controllers |admin & my admin controllers
so my file is:
users_controller.rb
class Admin::UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
render(:text => "sou o index!")
end
def list
render(:text => "sou o list")
end
end
On my routes i have:
namespace :admin do
resources :users
end
match ':controller(/:action(/:id))(.:format)'
Im new to rails and i cant figure out the solution. Cant find it anywhere.
The PROBLEM is
i try do acess:
http://localhost:3000/admin/users/list
and i get this error:
Unknown action The action 'show' could not be found for
Admin::UsersController
You seem to not have an understanding of how Rails's RESTful routing works by default. I recommend reading the Resource Routing section of the Rails Guides. By default, when using resources in your routes, the show action is what is used to display a particular model record. You can customize this behavior to an extent in that you can change the URL that for the show action, but not the method name in the model:
resources :users, :path_names => { :new => 'list' }
If you are going to use RESTful routing (which you should), you should remove the default route (match ':controller(/:action(/:id))(.:format)'). Also, you can run rake routes at any time from the terminal to see details about your current routing configuration.
Your on the right track, however, there are a few more steps involved to complete your solution for a backend admin CRUD section. Check out the following example of how to create it yourself:
