RESTful Routes

• Use resources :model_name_plural
• This will generate all the REST-ful routes for that resource EXCEPT delete
  • You will need to add:

  #config/routes
  resources :subjects do
    member do 
      get :delete
    end
  end
  #provides all 8 RESTful actions!!
  

  • Otherwise, you will need JS to ask the user to delete the resource! ("Are you sure?")
• member routes
  • Operate on a single record of the resource, so it will expect you to provide the :id for the route
  • Examples of this kind of route include edit and show
• collection routes
  • No need to pass in the :id of a record!
  • index is an obvious collection route
  • Also, new & create, even though they might not appear to be (they don't operate on a single member)
