Question

I have a User model that has_many projects. The Project model belongs_to the User model. I am currently using the projects_controller.rb index action to display all of the projects that have been created across all users (Project.all).

On a separate page, I would also like a way to display all of the projects that belong to a specific user (i.e. go to page and be able to see all of the projects that belong to a given user).

I am having difficulty figuring out which controller/action/view to use and how to set up the routes because I am already used the index action for the projects_controller for the purpose of displaying all of the projects. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Answer 1

You could do /users/{:id}/projects, which would map to the users controller projects action. The route would have to be custom member action

resources :users do
  member do
    get 'projects'
  end
end
