Passing parameters to custom RESTful routes in Rails (using :collection)
- by dwhite
I am trying to add a custom route to my RESTful routes using the :collection param on map.resources like so:
map.resources :products, :collection => { :tagged => :get }
The tagged action takes in a :tag parameter. I am able to link to the URL route using:
tagged_products_path(:tag => tag.name). My issue with this is that the URL that this generates:
/products/tagged?tag=electronic
I would like the tag to be in the URL and not the tag, like so:
/products/tagged/electronic
Of course this can be accomplished by a separate named route, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something and there is a way to do this with the :collection hash.
Thanks in advance for your help
