Question

I’m designing my admin panel for a cms and I want to have for example Downloads, Images and Articles. Each of these elements can be categorized, so I have an action “categories” on each controller(Downloads, Images and Articles).

In my routes file I have the following:

 namespace :admin do    
     resources :downloads
     resources :images
     resources :articles
 end

My problem is that the above code only creates routes for index, show, edit, update and destroy. Is there a method of adding the categories action to all resources once, without declaring it 3 times?

Answer 1

namespace :admin do
  [:downloads, :images, :articles].each do |resource|
    resources resource do
      get :categories, :on => :collection
    end
  end
end
