Question

Is it possible to specify a put or delete http verb from the route.rb, for a specific path?

Like:

get 'photos/show'

I tried to do it with match like the below:

match 'photos/show' => 'photos#show', :via => :delete

In the rake routes it seems right but it doesn’t do a delete http request. Also I tried:

match 'photos/show' => 'photos#show', :via => :random

And in the rake routes its shows “random”

It seems that you can specify get or post as shown in the guides, but I don’t know if I can specify put or delete. Is it possible?

Answer 1

put 'photos/:id(.:format)', :to => 'photos#update'
delete 'photos/:id(.:format)', :to => 'photos#destroy'

or

resources :photos

and hit your app directory with

rake routes

C’mon, you’re not even trying!
