Ruby on Rails Routing Member and Collection Routes
Example
Defining a member block inside a resource creates a route that can act on an individual member of that resource-based route:
resources :posts do
member do
get 'preview'
end
end
This generates the following member route:
get '/posts/:id/preview', to: 'posts#preview'
# preview_post_path
Collection routes allow for creating routes that can act on a collection of resource objects:
resources :posts do
collection do
get 'search'
end
end
This generates the following collection route:
get '/posts/search', to: 'posts#search'
# search_posts_path
An alternate syntax:
resources :posts do
get 'preview', on: :member
get 'search', on: :collection
end
