Question

I want to create a restful API where a user can go to foo.com/compani/users and they will get a list of all users from that company.

My routes.rb file has:

resources :schools do
  resources :users
end

My models are:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 belongs_to :school
end

class School < ActiveRecord::Base
 has_many :users
end

However if i go to /schools/1/users I get ALL users for all schools (same list for 1, 2, 12314, etc). From what I understood I was supposed to get list of all users that have school_id of ‘1’. What am I missing?

Answer 1

if you nested the rescources correctly you should be able to do something like this:

Controller:

def index
   @users = School.find(1).users
end

View:

@users.each do |user|

user.name

end
