Why is there a need to define a new method in RESTful controller, follow it up with a create method?
Google search didn’t provide me the answer I was looking for. I understand the difference, but need to know why they are used the way they are.
Within Rails’ implementation of REST new and create are treated differently.
An HTTP GET to
/resources/newis intended to render a form suitable for creating a new resource, which it does by calling the new action within the controller, which creates a new unsaved record and renders the form.An HTTP POST to
/resourcestakes the record created as part of the new action and passes it to the create action within the controller, which then attempts to save it to the database.
