what's the equivalent of doing rails style url globbing with Merb's router?
Example: If someone connects to /files/list/base/books/fiction/dickens you want the files/list action to have access to all four remaining fields. But sometimes there might be only three fields: /files/list/base/books/fiction or five: /files/list/base/books/fiction/dickens/little_dorrit So you need a route that will match (in this particular case) everything after the second URI component. You can do that with a route glob. You "glob" the route with an asterisk: map.connect 'files/list/*specs' Now, the files/list action will have access to an array of URI fields, accessible via params[:specs]: def list specs = params[:specs] # e.g, ["base", "books", "fiction", "dickens"] end http://tinyurl.com/6a26le as explained: --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
