I have a series of resources that I want only available if accessed via the JS format. Rails' route resources gives me the formats plus the standard HTML. Is there a way to specify that only the JS format routes be created?

Any object that you want users to be able to access via URI and perform CRUD (or some subset thereof) operations on can be thought of as a resource. In the Rails sense, it is generally a database table which is represented by a model, and acted on through a controller.
Rails RESTful Design which creates seven routes all mapping to the user controller. Rails also allows you to define multiple resources in one line.
Rails routing is a two-way piece of machinery – rather as if you could turn trees into paper, and then turn paper back into trees. Specifically, it both connects incoming HTTP requests to the code in your application's controllers, and helps you generate URLs without having to hard-code them as strings.
In Rails, there are seven standard CRUD actions: index, show, new, create, edit, update, and destroy, which relate to specific HTTP verbs and are usually implemented using specific ActiveRecord methods.
You must wrap those routes in a scope. Constraints unfortunately don't work as expected in this case.
This is an example of such a block...
scope :format => true, :constraints => { :format => 'json' } do get '/bar' => "bar#index_with_json" end More information can be found here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5548
