Route alias in Rails

Tags:

ruby-on-rails

I have a model stories in Rails 3.

I want to make an alias "books" for "stories" so I can have routes /books/192 instead of /stories/192, and also that all my generated links (e.g. link_to) point to books' routes instead of stories' routes.

How can I do that?

Thanks

The routing module provides URL rewriting in native Ruby. It's a way to redirect incoming requests to controllers and actions. It replaces the mod_rewrite rules.

What is namespace in Rails routes?

This is the simple option. When you use namespace , it will prefix the URL path for the specified resources, and try to locate the controller under a module named in the same manner as the namespace.

resources :stories, :path => :books

If you want to rename the path AND helper methods, then you do:

resources :stories, :path => :books, :as => :books
