Question

I have a User and Post scaffolded in my rails application. I wanted to get all of the posts associated with a user. For example, I want to be able to do something like this:

localhost:3000/users/1/posts

And it should give me all of the posts with the user_id = 1. I know how to get all the posts via the rails console for a specific user. I was just wondering how i can accomplish something like the example above. Would I have to add another method in the users controller?

Answer 1

You can do it without adding new action. Like this:

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @user = User.find(params[:user_id])
    @posts = @user.posts
  end
end
