- # == Default route
- #
- # Consider the following route, which you will find commented out at the
- # bottom of your generated <tt>config/routes.rb</tt>:
- #
- # match ':controller(/:action(/:id))(.:format)'
- #
- # This route states that it expects requests to consist of a
- # <tt>:controller</tt> followed optionally by an <tt>:action</tt> that in
- # turn is followed optionally by an <tt>:id</tt>, which in turn is followed
- # optionally by a <tt>:format</tt>.
- #
- # Suppose you get an incoming request for <tt>/blog/edit/22</tt>, you'll end
- # up with:
- #
- # params = { controller: 'blog',
- # action: 'edit',
- # id: '22'
- # }
- #
- # By not relying on default routes, you improve the security of your
- # application since not all controller actions, which includes actions you
- # might add at a later time, are exposed by default.
- #
- # == HTTP Methods
- #
- # Using the <tt>:via</tt> option when specifying a route allows you to
- # restrict it to a specific HTTP method. Possible values are <tt>:post</tt>,
- # <tt>:get</tt>, <tt>:patch</tt>, <tt>:put</tt>, <tt>:delete</tt> and
- # <tt>:any</tt>. If your route needs to respond to more than one method you
- # can use an array, e.g. <tt>[ :get, :post ]</tt>. The default value is
- # <tt>:any</tt> which means that the route will respond to any of the HTTP
- # methods.
- #
- # match 'post/:id' => 'posts#show', via: :get
- # match 'post/:id' => 'posts#create_comment', via: :post
- #
- # Now, if you POST to <tt>/posts/:id</tt>, it will route to the <tt>create_comment</tt> action. A GET on the same
- # URL will route to the <tt>show</tt> action.
- #
- # === HTTP helper methods
- #
- # An alternative method of specifying which HTTP method a route should respond to is to use the helper
- # methods <tt>get</tt>, <tt>post</tt>, <tt>patch</tt>, <tt>put</tt> and <tt>delete</tt>.
- #
- # get 'post/:id' => 'posts#show'
- # post 'post/:id' => 'posts#create_comment'
- #
- # This syntax is less verbose and the intention is more apparent to someone else reading your code,
- # however if your route needs to respond to more than one HTTP method (or all methods) then using the
- # <tt>:via</tt> option on <tt>match</tt> is preferable.
