Question

In my rails application, I have a controller called demo which is stored at chart directory, I need to access a action called “home” in the demo controller, how should I need to write match in route.rb ?

match ‘:controller(/:action(/:id))(.:format)’
This is the only line what i have

site.com/chart/demo/home should call

app/controllers/chart/demo_controller.rb #action home

Thanks in advance,
Kannan

You could make a namespace for the chart, if you’ve got many controllers that will function behind the ‘chart directory.’

namespace :chart do
  match 'demo/home', :to => 'demo#home'
end

Then you’ve got to make sure that your demo controller indicates the namespace by changing:

class DemoController < ApplicationController

to

class Chart::DemoController < ApplicationController

and make sure that your demo controller is inside of a chart directory.
Then you can always check your routes using rake:routes in the console.
