Question

I have a Model called UserPrice and when I make the show route match this:

match "/:id/:product_name/:purchase_date/:price", :to => "user_prices#show"

It generates no new route path to use nor does it change it in the view. Why doesn’t it do this? How would I get it to do this?

Answer 1

You should use the as => [name] syntax:

match "/:id/:product_name/:purchase_date/:price", :to => "user_prices#show", :as => :show

will create show_path and show_url (see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#naming-routes)
