how to route your sub-folder in views Ruby on Rails?

Question

Can anyone please shed some light on how to route your sub-folder's .html.erb files?? which is placed like this:

view/pages/en/index.html.erb

and to route this i am doing following things on route.rb

match ':lang/index', :to => 'pages/en#index'

and for a link code, I have this on the header

<%= link_to "Home", index_path %>

The error i am getting is

 Routing Error
 uninitialized constant Pages

Answer 1

Namespaces will organize your code and views in subfolders: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#controller-namespaces-and-routing

If just need only the views/pages folder organized that way, you could do in PagesController something like:

render "#{I18n.locale}/#{action_name}"

A question: why would you like view/pages/en/index.html.erb instead of view/pages/index.en.html.erb? That would work out of the box.

Answer 2

UPDATE This is how it works for route.rb:-

match ':lang/index', :to => 'pages#index'

Render it on your controller:-

def index
  render "pages/en/index"
end

def about
  render "pages/#{params[:lang]}/about"
end

Answer 3

AFAIK, There is no way to route to a view. You can route an URL to a controller's action. That action is responsible for rendering the views.

you can use namespaced routing to put the resources in the sub folder.
