I am trying to add a customer action to one of my resources, therefore I created a custom route:
namespace :admin do
resources :subscriptions
match 'subscriptions/summary', :to => 'subscriptions#summary', :as => 'subscriptions_summary'
end
In my rake routes I'm getting the following output:
admin_subscriptions_summary /admin/subscriptions/summary(.:format) spree/admin/subscriptions#summary
The problem now is, whenever I try to create a link to the summary action, I get following error:
Missing template spree/admin/subscriptions/show
Why is my app confusing the show action with the summary action?
namespace :admin do
resources :subscriptions do
collection do
get 'summary'
end
end
end
solved it.

I am getting the following error:
Missing :action key on routes definition, please check your routes.
For this route
resources :groups do
post '/groups/:id/add', on: :member
end
I have looked at several other SO answers on this but am not able to find one that helps me. What action is it missing?
This is not the right way to define routes. Actually router's member/collection accepts a key-value pair to generate the route. As you are defining a member function it will be like:
resources :groups do
member do
post :add
end
end
It will generate a route like: groups/1/add
If you use collection then it will generate: /groups/add
resources :groups do
collection do
post :add
end
end
Hope you get the idea.
Or
You can define specific route for this particular action like below:
match "/groups/:id/add" => "groups#add", via: :post
Key action here means controller action. as in
resources :groups do
post '/groups/:id/add', on: :member, action: "add"
end
Rails can't infer the action from a path. But you can define the action instead and rails will automatically figure out the path:
resources :groups do
post :add, on: :member
end
i'm new to mvc, rails and web development and i'm facing a problem:
I have an action(show) and a view for this action.
The view for show submits a form_tag to another action, that renders the action show.
The problem is, I have no idea how to set a route for the action that renders show.
Right now my routes.rb is:
resources :meals do
collection do
get "meals/:id", to: "meals#show"
end
end
Tried to add these but didn't work:
match "meals/:id/calculate" , :to => "meals#calculate",:via => [:get]
and:
get "meals/:id/calculate", to => "meals#calculate"
resources :meals generate path to show action.
Run rake routes or open in a browser 'http://localhost:3000/rails/info/routes` to see list of generated routes.
To add calculate use member:
resources :meals do
get :calculate, on: :member
end
I am creating a custom route like:
namespace :admin do
root 'users#index'
resources :users do
get 'admin_login' => 'users#admin_login'
end
end
But when I see with rake routes:
admin_user_admin_login GET /admin/users/:user_id/admin_login(.:format) admin/users#admin_login
Why :user_id is added here?
I just want it without :user_id.
Because you are creating a custom route within the users resource. Rails is doing exactly what you are telling it to do. You would like to show the "admin_login" route for a specified user (that's what you're currently telling rails to do).
Move the:
get 'admin_login' => 'users#admin_login'
Line of code outside of the resources block and you'll be able to create your custom route.
You need to specify an on option to tell Rails that it works on a collection and not a member resource. According to the official Rails routing guide
You can leave out the :on option, this will create the same member
route except that the resource id value will be available in
params[:photo_id] instead of params[:id].
You can also remove the => 'users#admin_login' part as that is the default behavior.
So the solution to your problem is to add on: :collection or place it inside a block like
namespace :admin do
root 'users#index'
resources :users do
collection do
get 'admin_login'
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
Currently I have something like this:
resources :books do
collection do
get 'search'
end
end
and my controller name is also "books" and I have a action method called "search" inside it
I would like that "get search" part to also be a resource, kind of like nested resources... but I don't want to break other peoples codes that are using the current route that this generate, so need to update it in a passive way!
resources :books do
collection do
get 'search'
end
resources :searches
end
...if I'm understanding you correctly, that should be what you want. It won't break other routes, just add new ones.
Run rake routes to make sure you have all the routes you want/need.
Use shallow routes nesting like:
resources :books , :shallow => true do
resources :searches
end
Now you will get the following routes:
/books/1 => books_path(1)
/books/1/searches => books_searches_index_path(1)
/searches/2 => searches_path(2)
Similarly you can get separate routing for defined routes like:
get '(:books)/searches', :to => 'books#index'
