Pretty Restful Resources

Have you ever questioned the rails way? We have.

I’ve always had an itchy feeling when coding for this kind of URL ever since restful rails got out. Looking into resources.rb, we came up with a plugin that makes that URL look like this :

So far, we haven’t had any problems yet. Nesting doesn’t also reveal any problems. We have declarations like :

map.resources :admin do |admin| admin.resources :products, :name_prefix => 'admin_' do |product| product.resources :sections, :name_prefix => 'admin_products' end end

Nothing seems to be broken as of now.

If you’re interested, check out the plugin @ svn://svn.upstrat.com/plugins/pretty_resources/trunk
