Rails 5 nested routes - ruby-on-rails

I've three models Project, Card and Task.
project has_many :cards
card has_many :tasks
I've defined the route for building cards like following:
resources :projects, except: [:new, :edit, :show] do
resources :cards do
resources :tasks
end
end
It'll create path for cards as: projects/:project_id/cards/
It'll create path for tasks as: projects/:project_id/cards/:card_id/tasks
What I need is:
Card routes should be nested to Project. (which I currently have) and Task routes should nested to only Card like /cards/:card_id/tasks (which I need).
How can I achieve that?
Thanks in advance!

resources :projects, except: [:new, :edit, :show] do
resources :cards
end
resources :cards do
resources :tasks
end
This is what you are looking for

You can just do,
resources :projects, except: [:new, :edit, :show] do
resources :cards
end
And further try with defining each route for task by,
get '/cards/:card_id/tasks', to: 'tasks#index'
I did not test but should work, Sad is you have to define it for each specific route.

Renaming rails route parameter to id

In my routes.rb file, I have the following resources
resources :classrooms, only: [:index, :new, :create] do
resources :students, only: [:index, :edit, :update], controller: 'students' do
get :honor
end
end
My honor route becomes /classrooms/:classroom_id/students/:students_id/honor(.:format)
but I want to replace student_id to id so that I can easily use it in the students controllers.
Ideal route is /classrooms/:classroom_id/students/:id/honor(.:format)
You can do that specifying it's a member route. this way
get :honor, on: :member
or
member do
get :honor
end

rails - how to target nested controller for nested resource route

In my routes.rb I have
namespace :admin do
resources :clients do, only: [:index] do
resources :products, only: [:index, :new, :create]
end
resources :products, only: [:index]
end
Notice that I have two lines for resources :products. One is nested within resources :clients and the other as a top-level resource on :admin; each of these two has a different purpose in the application.
rake routes gives me:
admin_clients GET /admin/clients(.:format) admin/clients#index
admin_client_products GET /admin/clients/:client_id/products(.:format) admin/products#index
POST /admin/clients/:client_id/products(.:format) admin/products#create
new_admin_client_product GET /admin/clients/:client_id/products/new(.:format) admin/products#new
admin_products GET /admin/products(.:format) admin/products#index
I have a admin_client_products for the nested product#index resource. I also have admin_products for the top-level product#index resource. However, they point to the same controller action: admin/product#index.
Question: At this point, I need rails to deduce that these are two different actions. Using rails conventions, is there a way to tell rails that these two resources should have different controller actions i.e. one that should hit admin/products#index and the other should hit admin/clients/products#index?
The nested route should hit this:
class Admin::Clients::ProductsController < Admin::BaseController
def index; end
end
The top-level route should hit this:
class Admin::ProductsController < Admin::BaseController
def index; end
end
Definitely you can!
Here you need to customize your resourceful route by explicitly specifying a controller to use for the resource. The :controller option will let you do that.
So, in your case, specifying the controller as clients/products for the admin_clients_products resource would work in your desired way.
namespace :admin do
resources :clients, only: [:index] do
resources :products, only: [:index, :new, :create], controller: 'clients/products'
end # ------------------------------
resources :products, only: [:index]
end
rails routes will now give you what you want:
admin_client_products GET /admin/clients/:client_id/products(.:format) admin/clients/products#index
POST /admin/clients/:client_id/products(.:format) admin/clients/products#create
new_admin_client_product GET /admin/clients/:client_id/products/new(.:format) admin/clients/products#new
admin_clients GET /admin/clients(.:format) admin/clients#index
admin_products GET /admin/products(.:format) admin/products#index
=========================
Extra bits:
If you want to omit the /admin portion from the url (I mean, if your application's routing design permits to), then you could use: scope module: 'admin' do...end like the following:
scope module: 'admin' do
resources :clients, only: [:index] do
resources :products, only: [:index, :new, :create], controller: 'clients/products'
end
resources :products, only: [:index]
end
and suddenly your routes will start looking awesome :)
client_products GET /clients/:client_id/products(.:format) admin/clients/products#index
POST /clients/:client_id/products(.:format) admin/clients/products#create
new_client_product GET /clients/:client_id/products/new(.:format) admin/clients/products#new
clients GET /clients(.:format) admin/clients#index
products GET /products(.:format) admin/products#index

Nesting APIs routes

Im trying to create API endpoints from my Post model . It should be able to read, update, delete and create posts.
But a post needs to be assosiated to a Topic in order for it to be created so i nested it under topics. Here are my routes
namespace :api do
namespace :v1 do
resources :users, only: [:index, :show, :create, :update]
resources :posts, only: [:show, :update, :destroy]
resources :topics, except: [:edit, :new] do
resources :posts, only: [:create]
end
end
end
api_v1_post GET /api/v1/posts/:id(.:format) api/v1/posts#show
PATCH /api/v1/posts/:id(.:format) api/v1/posts#update
PUT /api/v1/posts/:id(.:format) api/v1/posts#update
DELETE /api/v1/posts/:id(.:format) api/v1/posts#destroy
api_v1_topic_posts POST /api/v1/topics/:topic_id/posts(.:format) api/v1/posts#create
api_v1_topics GET /api/v1/topics(.:format) api/v1/topics#index
POST /api/v1/topics(.:format) api/v1/topics#create
api_v1_topic GET /api/v1/topics/:id(.:format) api/v1/topics#show
PATCH /api/v1/topics/:id(.:format) api/v1/topics#update
PUT /api/v1/topics/:id(.:format) api/v1/topics#update
DELETE /api/v1/topics/:id(.:format) api/v1/topics#destroy
my issue is im getting a "no routes match" error when i run my Rspec
I think the issue is with the relationship.
Please add the relationship between Topic and Post and then try.
class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
end
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :topic
end
If the route you are trying to create is POST api/v1/topics/:topic_id/create_post going to TopicsController than you would want the nesting to look like this instead:
resources :topics, except: [:edit, :new] do
post 'create_post' => 'topics#create_post'
end
Try this out for creating your routes if you haven't had success yet. It should provide the output that you want.
resources :topics, except: [:edit, :new] do
collection do
post 'create_post'
end
end

Polymorphic Comments in both nested resource and simple resource ruby on rails 4

I have following relationship routes:
resources :courses, only: [:index, :show] do
resources :enrols, only: [:new, :create]
resources :lectures, only: [:show]
end
resources :code_casts, :path => 'casts', :as => 'casts', only: [:index, :show]
resources :blogs, :path => 'blog', :as => 'blog', only: [:index, :show] do
resources :blog_votes, only: [:create, :destroy]
end
I want polymorphic comments in courses, lectures, code_casts and blog.
Problem is lecture has a parent of course so route will be course/course_id/lecture/id and blog path will blog/id where comments will have different show pages.
If I understand the problem correctly, there is nothing special about deeply nested resources. So you might need something like this
# routes.rb
concern :commentable do
resources :comments
end
resources :courses, only: [:index, :show] do
resources :enrols, only: [:new, :create]
resources :lectures, only: [:show], concerns: [:commentable]
end
resources :code_casts, :path => 'casts', :as => 'casts', only: [:index, :show]
resources :blogs, :path => 'blog', :as => 'blog', only: [:index, :show], concerns: [:commentable] do
resources :blog_votes, only: [:create, :destroy]
end
This will create nested comments resources for lectures and blogs.
Than you need to differentiate the path in a comments controller
# comments_controller
def create
Comment.create(commentable: commentable, other_params...) # assuming you have `commentable` polymorphic belongs_to
end
# a little more ugly than Ryan suggests
def commentable
if request.path.include?('blog') # be careful. any path with 'blog' in it will match
Blog.find(params[:id])
elsif params[:course_id] && request.path.include?('lecture')
Course.find(params[:course_id).leactures.find(params[:id]) # assuming Course has_many lectures
else
fail 'unnable to determine commentable type'
end
end
All 'magic' is in commentable method, where youare checking the path and determine which commentable object to pick. I use similar approach, but this exact code is written by memory without testing. Hopefully you've got the idea.

Nested resource and restricting the Routes Created :only and :except

Good day all,
Can someone kindly assist me with nested resources and its best practice.
I would like to restrict my :events route to only :show and :index, is this the correct way of doing it?
resources :events do
resources :registrations, :except => [:index]
end
resources :events, :only => [:index, :show]
Is this the best way or the way more Rubyist would handle such thing? I've added two lines of resources :events or is there a way to combine it all in 1 block?
Thanks in advance.
Yes. You can combine it in one block like:
resources :events, only: [:index, :show] do
resources :registrations, except: :index
end
