I want to do something that I imagine looks like this:
resources :users do
collection do
get 'login', :action => 'login_form'
post 'login', :action => 'login'
get 'logout'
end
end
I.e. I want two controller actions to bind to the same path with different methods. How do I do that?
You should read the guide about routes: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
resources :users do
collection do
match 'login' => "users#login_form", via: :get
post 'login'
get 'logout'
end
end
A login_form action does not sound very restful. Just saying ;)

In my rails app I have two models nested,
Gameround > currentplayer
Gameround is shown on play.html.erb, I also make the currentplayers there. When the currentplayer is made I want to redirect the user to currentplayer#show but I can't seem to figure out the way to route the link. I've tried everything I can think of.
So I need a link that says:
Get url to thiscurrentGameround/ThiscurrentplayerIjustmade
My controller:
def createPlayerforUser
#latest_game_round = Gameround.order(created_at: :desc).first
#currentplayer = #latest_game_round.currentplayers.create({
log_id: #current_user.id
});
if #currentplayer.save
redirect_to url_for([#gameround, #currentplayer])
end
end
config.routes
resources :gamerounds do
resources :currentplayers
end
resources :gamesessions
# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
# See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes".
# Artikkel, Alien liste
resources :expansions do
resources :aliens
end
resources :users
# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
#root 'gamesessions#play'
root 'gamesessions#new'
#root 'application#show'
#root 'public#index'
get "signup", :to => "users#new"
get "login", :to => "sessions#login"
post "login_attempt", :to => "sessions#login_attempt"
get "logout", :to => "sessions#logout"
get "profile", :to => "sessions#profile"
get "setting", :to => "sessions#setting"
get "play", :to => "gamesessions#play"
get "wait", :to => "gamesessions#wait"
get "aliens", :to => "aliens#index"
If you run rake routes in the terminal, your list of routes should include one for showing currentplayer. You should be able to use
redirect_to gameround_currentplayer_url(#latest_game_round, #current_player)
I am attempting to setup my routes.rb so that /sessions/ is not required in the url for logging in and out of the site. Below are my samples to show what I am trying to achieve. Whilst the "second attempt" does in fact do what I want, I'd like to know if there is a more efficient way of doing this. I am very new to rails and I am sure that the routes.rb has some option that can do what I am doing in three large lines.
First attempt
routes.rb
namespace :account do
resources :users
resources :sessions
end
$ rake routes
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
account_users GET /account/users(.:format) account/users#index
...
account_sessions GET /account/sessions(.:format) account/sessions#index
POST /account/sessions(.:format) account/sessions#create
new_account_session GET /account/sessions/new(.:format) account/sessions#new
edit_account_session GET /account/sessions/:id/edit(.:format) account/sessions#edit
account_session GET /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#show
PATCH /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#update
PUT /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#update
DELETE /account/sessions/:id(.:format) account/sessions#destroy
Second attempt
routes.rb
namespace :account do
resources :users
match '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new', :via => [:get]
match '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'create', :via => [:post]
match '/logout', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy', :via => [:delete]
end
$ rake routes
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
account_users GET /account/users(.:format) account/users#index
...
account_login GET /account/login(.:format) account/sessions#new
POST /account/login(.:format) account/sessions#create
account_logout DELETE /account/logout(.:format) account/sessions#destroy
Can this be done without having to manually specific the match locations? All I want to do is remove /sessions/ as a requirement.
namespace :account do
resources :users #-> account/users
resources :sessions, path: "", path_names: { new: "login", create: "login", destroy: "logout" } #-> accounts/login, accounts/logout
end
I hope you realise you have /login twice in your second example. This simplifies it a bit but you will always have to match each route you want to specify outside any defaults.
namespace :account do
match '/login', to: 'sessions#new', via: [:get]
match '/logout', to: 'sessions#destroy', via: [:delete]
end
In rails3 we should use with_options in following way:
scope '/account' do
match '/login' => "sessions#new", :as => :login
post '/:login' => 'sessions#create', :as => :signup_create
delete '/:logout' => 'sessions#destroy', :as => :logout
end
I am using Rails 4 and am trying to include the koudoku stripe gem. Here is my routes:
# Added by Koudoku.
mount Koudoku::Engine, at: 'koudoku'
scope module: 'koudoku' do
get 'pricing' => 'subscriptions#index', as: 'pricing'
end
resource :account
devise_for :users, :skip => [:sessions]
as :user do
get '/login' => 'devise/sessions#new', :as => :new_user_session
post '/login' => 'devise/sessions#create', :as => :user_session
get '/logout' => 'devise/sessions#destroy', :as => :destroy_user_session
end
get '/dashboard', to: 'dashboard#index'
get '/reports/generate', to: 'reports#generate'
authenticated :user do
root :to => 'dashboard#index', :as => :authenticated_root
end
root :to => redirect('/login')
And this is the error I am getting:
undefined local variable or method `root_url
I can access the other routes just fine, it is just trying to render the Application Helper methods (for instance, a custom app method I have defined, or routes methods) from the module routes... Does this make sense? How do I fix this?
Try adding "main_app." before your root path. For example:
main_app.root_path
Conditional logic in the routing layer kind of goes against the intent of the Rails MVC architecture. The route file should just map a web request to a controller, which then has conditional logic to determine what is displayed.
In this case it's a bit different since you want to redirect, but I personally would still put it in the controller. In other words send the root to dashboard#index, and then at the top of that controller (or in a before_filter) just do
redirect_to login_path unless current_user_authenticated?
(here I'm assuming you would have a named route for login, which would be good practice, as well as a current_user_authenticated? method to check whatever logic you want before the redirect. This would be a more Rails-y approach, whatever that's worth...)
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
Hi im following the agile web development ebook and i cant seem to activate the logout action
here are the revelant parts (TAB key not working could not format to code)
rake routes
logout DELETE /logout(.:format) sessions#destroy
from the route file
controller :sessions do
get 'login' => :new
post 'login' => :create
delete 'logout' => :destroy
end
my controller
def destroy
session[:user_id] = user.id
redirect_to store_url , notice: "Logged out"
end
and my view (relevant part)
<%= button_to 'Logout', logout_path, method: :delete %>
the error message is
No route matches [GET] "/logout"
i know it should use delete method but nothing i do seems to help
You may need to add a match in your routes. Sorry that I don't have the book with me to refer to.
Put this above your controller :sessions ...
match 'logout' => 'sessions#destroy', :as => :logout
If you didn't put the above line, your logout path should be sessions_logout_path, not logout_path.
Reference:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#naming-routes
match '/logout' => 'sessions#destroy', :via => :delete
or
controller :sessions do
member do
delete :destroy, :as => :logout
end
end
