How to nest a namespaced ruby on rails controller - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a controller in a name spaced controller/user directory, so its first line is
class User::BookingsController < ApplicationController
I have set the routes as follows
resources :users do
namespace :user do
resources :bookings
end
end
The path to index action is
user_user_bookings_path or
/users/:user_id/user/bookings(.:format)
which works fine, but the double user_user sounds like a Catch 22 joke. Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Answer 1

What would you like to achieve? You are namespacing under "user" after all. You can try options like as: nil, but I think this will be even funnier (user__bookings_path).
What you can do is write every route by hand, something like:
resources :users do
post 'bookings', to: 'user/bookings#create'
end
# => user_bookings_path, POST /users/:user_id/bookings
or if you want to preserve the URL
resources :users do
post '/user/bookings', to: 'user/bookings#create', as: 'bookings'
end
# => user_bookings_path, POST /users/:user_id/user/bookings

Answer 2

Try this
resources :users do
resources :bookings
end

Answer 3

According to the docs you can namespace your resource
by using the namespace block
namespace :api do
resources :users
end
this would give you those routes:
/api/users [GET, POST]
/api/users/:id [GET, PUT, DELETE]
However you want to nest the resource within another resource (docs) you would do this:
resources :users do
resources :bookings
end
Which would result in these routes:
/users/:user_id/bookings [GET, POST]
/users/:user_id/bookings/:id [GET, PUT, DELETE]
Because you have your controller scoped under User you have to set the user scope like this:
resources :users do
resources :bookings, module: :user
end
Which results in those routes:
