Modify URL Pattern Ruby Rails

Question

I am trying to display a page to show all products by current user. Because of this, I have created a new page showall.html.erb under products view.

I have done the following:

ProductsController

def showall
  @products = current_user.products
end

routes

resources :products do
  get :showall
end

I am aware that because of the nested resources the URL Pattern became

 /products/:product_id/showall(.:format)

How do I actually get rid of the product_id part to achieve /products/showall to have one special page to render all products by the current user.

Answer 1

You should change your route definition as follows:

resources :products do
  collection do 
    get :showall
  end
end

Check corresponding documentation.

Hope that helps!
