Some Suggestions on Ruby on Rails routing configuration, rubyrails

When you need to add one or more actions to a RESTful Resource (do you really need it ?), Use member and collection routes.

# Differential get 'subscriptions/: id/unsubscribe 'resources: subscriptions # Good resources: subscriptions do get 'unsubscribe', on: member end # differential get 'photos/search' resources: photos # Good resources: photos do get 'search', on: collection end

If you need to define multiple member/collection routes, use the block syntax alternative ).

Resources: subscriptions do member do get 'unsubscribe' # more routes end resources: photos do collection do get 'search' # more routes end

Use nested routes to better express the relationship with the ActiveRecord model.

 class Post < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :comments  end  class Comments < ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to :post  end  # routes.rb  resources :posts do   resources :comments  end

Use namespace routing to group related behaviors.

  namespace :admin do   # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController   # (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)   resources :products  end

Do not use legacy wild controller route in the controller ). This route will allow each controller to access through GET requests.

# Very poor match ': controller (/: action (/: id (.: format )))'
