Let's start off with some code:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
namespace :mpd do
get 'help' #==> get "mpd/help", as: :mpd_help
get 'status'
post 'start'
post 'stop'
post 'next'
post 'previous'
post 'pause'
post 'update'
# post 'play_song/:id', to: 'mpd#play_song'
end
# For some reason this path must not be in the namespace?!
post '/mpd/play_song/:id', to: 'mpd#play_song', as: 'mpd_play_song'
root 'static#home'
#match '*path' => 'static#home', via: [:get, :post]
end
Why do I have to specify the mpd_play_song_path outside of my namespace?
It uses the same controller and a function within, however, I receive the following error upon putting it within the namespace:
undefined method `mpd_play_song_path' for #<#<Class:0x007f2b30f7fd20>:0x007f2b30f7eb50>
And this is the line within my view:
= link_to("Play", mpd_play_song_path(song[:id])
I find this fairly strange and do not see any reason besides the passed id why it shouldn't work.
Hit me up if you need more code.
Thanks in advance,

Namespace
Having a namespace does not denote the controller your routes will assume.
A namespace is basically a folder within which you'll place controllers.
You still have to use the resources directive and set the controller actions:
#config/routes.rb
namespace :mdp do
resources :controller do
collection do
get :help #-> url.com/mdp/controller/help
end
end
end
It seems to me that you're wanting to use the mdp controller, which means you'd set up your routes as follows:
#config/routes.rb
resources :mdp do
get :help, action: :show, type: :help
get :status, action: :show, type: :status
...
end
A more succinct way will be to use constraints:
#config/routes.rb
resources :mdp, except: :show do
get :id, to: :show, constraints: ActionsConstraints
end
#lib/actions_constraints.rb
class NewUserConstraint
def self.matches?(request)
actions = %i(help status)
actions.include? request.query_parameters['id']
end
end

I want to get a route like
GET /example/notifications/status, to: example/notification#status
POST /example/notifications/disable to: example/notification#disable
Here is what I did
resources :example, only => %i[index] do
collection do
resources :notifications, :only => [] do
collection do
get :status
post :disable
end
end
end
end
it get the right path but it point to notification#status not example/notification#status
is there any way I can get both right path and controller expect code like
get "notifications/status", :to => "example/notifications#status"
You can use namespace for this purpose like below,
in you config/routes.rb file
namespace :example do
collection do
get :status
post :disable
end
end
It will hit the example/notification#status action.
for more information see here
Don't use resources since you don't want (aparently) any param on your routes. Go for namespace instead:
namespace :example do
namespace :notifications do
get 'status'
post 'disable'
end
end
Gives you:
$ rails routes -g example
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
example_notifications_status GET /example/notifications/status(.:format) example/notifications#status
example_notifications_disable POST /example/notifications/disable(.:format) example/notifications#disable
I'm having some issues with custom routing. What I'm looking to do is remove the model from the route and dynamically use the record name.
so instead of:
site.com/events/my-event
I would like it to be:
site.com/my-event
I hacked this to work with the below code, only issue is I can't access my admin namespace as it's being treated as an event record (and any other route):
get('/:id', to: redirect do |params, request|
id = request.path.gsub("/", "")
"/events/#{id}"
end)
I know this redirect is not right, I'm just not well versed in routing options. How should this be done properly?
routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resources :events, param: :id, path: "" do
get 'login', to: 'sessions#new', as: :login
get 'logout', to: 'sessions#destroy', as: :logout
post 'sessions', to: 'sessions#create', as: :session_create
end
namespace 'admin' do
root "events#index"
resources :sessions, only: [:create]
get 'login', to: 'sessions#new', as: :login
get 'logout', to: 'sessions#destroy', as: :logout
resources :events
end
end
Rails lets you specify what a routing URL should look like:
https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#translated-paths
You don't need redirect.
You need to match all requests to one controller/action.
get '/(*all)', to: 'home#app'
Inside this action check what is coming in params and render appropriate view.
PS: it will capture all requests, even for not found images, js, etc.
(1) To fix /admin to go to the right path, move the namespace line above the events resources so that it is matched first:
Rails routes are matched in the order they are specified 2.2 CRUD, Verbs, and Actions
# routes.rb
namespace :admin do
root "events#index"
#...
resources :events
end
resources :events, param: :name, path: ""
Use :param and :path to match for site.com/myevent instead of site.com/events/:id
Your events controller:
# events_controller.rb
class EventsController < ApplicationController
# ...
private
def set_event
#event = Event.find_by(name: params[:name])
end
end
Your admin events controller:
# admin/events_controller.rb
class Admin::EventsController < ApplicationController
# ...
private
def set_event
#event = Event.find params[:id]
end
end
TIP: To get a complete list of the available routes use rails routes in your terminal 5.1 Listing Existing Routes
I have a route
collection do
get :show_logs
end
And I want the user should request show_logs/[:id].
Forbid user to send show_logs request without required id
What's the better ways to get it ?
UPDATE
If now, I wrote my rule as following,
And trying to access without :id, http://localhost:3000/tool/mvaas/relay_queries/show_logs
I'll get the error ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in xxx
routes
get '/tool/mvaas/relay_queries/show_logs/:id', to: 'tool/mvaas/relay_queries#show_logs', :via => :get, :as => 'show_logs_tool_mvaas_relay_queries'
namespace :tool do
namespace :mvaas do
resources :relay_queries do
collection do
end
end
end
end
You should put it into member instead of collection
resources :users do
member do
get :show_logs
end
end
It will be accessible with the url /users/:id/show_logs
If you absolutely want the url to be /users/show_logs/:id then you should go with
get '/users/show_logs/:id', to: 'users#show_logs'
before your resources :users do block
You can verify if params exist by following way:
if(params.has_key?(:one))
If exist- request will done.
If absent - redirect/render or show notice.
you could try:
get "show_logs/:id" => "controller#action"
with updates: just write something like:
namespace :tool do
namespace :mvaas do
resources :relay_queries do
collection do
get "show_logs/:id", action: "show_logs"
end
end
end
end
Suppose I have a model User and I want to add some dashboard namespace. So I create dashbord directory and put inside private_users_controller.rb. Now for routing I put
namespace "dashboard" do
resources :users do
member do
get "show" => "private_users#show"
end
end
end
the problem is that I only want to route the get request having this route /dashboard/users/:id/show. But rake routes shows a bunch of post, delete... routes.
How can I cut those ?
seems like you don't need any of the method from resources definition, so just add a match will be ok.
namespace "dashboard" do
match 'users/:id/show', :to => 'private_users#show'
end
if you insist using resource, then the following will work
scope '/dashboard' do
resources :users, :only => :show, :module => 'private'
end
the 'rake routes' output is like this
GET /dashboard/users/:id(.:format) private/users#show
the trailing 'show' inside the url is not needed.
namespace "dashboard" do
get "users/:id/show" => "private_users#show"
end
I want to replace the normal /users/:id route that is created by the resources command, with a more abstract /profile route. It won't be possible to view other users profiles in my app, and therefor the current route is unnecessary specific.
I have tried to overwrite the route created by 'resources :users' with:
get '/profile', to: 'users#show'
and other variances and combinations, but can't seem to get it right. Either the controller can't find the user because of a missing id or it simply can't find the route.
Thanks for the help!
You can use this code in routes.rb file:
resources :users, :except => :show
collection do
get 'profile', :action => 'show'
end
end
It will generate url "/users/profile".
But, if u want to use only '/profile', then don't create route as collection inside users resources block.
resources :users, :except => :show
get 'profile' => "users#show", :as => :user_profile
It will redirect '/profile' to show action in users controller.
I suggest simply adding a users/me route pointing to the show action of your UsersController like so:
resources :users, only: [] do
collection do
get 'me', action: :show
end
end
You can also use the match keyword in routes.rb file.
match 'users/:id' => 'users#show', as: :user_profile, via: :get
