Question

I have a model in rails called WorkRequest and the naming conventions in rails give me the create route of work_requests/ [POST]. In Spine with the same model name it posts to the path workrequests/ Is this by design and do I need to override it somewhere.

Out of interest, what do others use as a naming convention when the model name has more than one word in it? Would it have been better to call the mode Workrequest and have done with it?

Ok, I should have kept looking: http://spinejs.com/docs/ajax. I found that you can override the default path by add @url option to the model.

class App.WorkRequest extends Spine.Model
  @configure 'WorkRequest', ... [field list]
  @extend Spine.Model.Ajax
  @url: "/work_requests"

I’m still interested in the diference in naming conventions between Spine and Rails with multiword model names.
