Question

for example a have simple rails app with two models, users and books. now i what to let the user save books to their favorites list. where do i put the logic (users_controller?) to make it RESTful?

Answer 1

Your routes file could look like this:

resources :users do
  resources :favorites, only=>[:index, :create, :destroy]
end
resources :books

That way when you add a book to a users’ favorite, you post to create a new user_favorite.
