I changed the routing of posts#index
to match blog
and I now get /blog
in the URL which I was trying to accomplish.
I've tried several different things to get my actual blog post which the route currently looks something like /posts/this-is-a-test
to also use blog
rather than posts
in the URL.
Below is my current route file. I am using the friendly_id
gem, if that makes any difference in answering this question.
resources :posts do
resources :comments
end
resources :contacts, only: [:new, :create]
root "pages#home"
get "/home", to: "pages#home", as: "home"
get "about" => 'pages#about'
get "pricing" => 'pages#pricing'
get "contact_us" => 'pages#contact_us'
match 'blog', to: 'posts#index', via: :all
end
path
option along with resource must help.
resources :posts, :path => 'blogs' do
resources :comments
end
This will change all /posts
and /post
to /blogs/
and /blog
.
If you want to change your route's helper methods such as posts_path
to blogs_path
and new_post_path
to new_blog_path
etc, you can change it with as
tag.
resources :posts, :path => 'blogs', :as => 'blogs' do
resources :comments
end
Or yet better, you can specify the controller and route blogs
directly as:
resources :blogs, controller: 'posts' do
resources :comments
end
This is the awesomeness of Rails! :)
