    Good point. Am I correct in saying that the only time this is a
    real issue is if someone defines two routes, with the same
    name, but different paths, e.g.

      match '/products/:id' => 'products#show', :constraints =>
    {:id => /\d/}, as: "product"
      match '/products/:id/extra' => 'products#show', as: "product"

    In other situations, the generated path will be the same, and
    the server will still check the constraint if/when the request
    is sent, so the developer loses a little compile-time
    type-safety, but everything stays safe/secure.

    Obviously, the two different routes with the same name thing is
    an issue, but that idiom strikes me as a bit odd/risky in the
    first place.

    Yeah, that would work.

    I just thought you were suggesting to use produc_path(id) for
    implementing this feature. In that case, it would raise an
    exception if id is not a number.

    How are you thinking about the implementation of such feature
    while processing CS?

    Also, what if someone still wants to keep using JS instead of
    CS? How would it be possible for them to take advantage of the
    asset pipeline route helpers?


I honestly don't know enough about CS internals to specifically say how I'd implement it. However, the two methods I'd initially explore would be: 1) Monkey-patch the compiler to recognise the routes' names as keywords/methods and then either process them for more CS compilation, or process them straight to JS. This method depends a lot on how the compiler has been written and how extendable it is. I would imagine that recognising new nodes as it parses is pretty standard, but it's how easy it is to insert that functionality in. I imagine 30mins of browsing through code would tell you if it was feasible. 2) Pre-processing the CS to look for the method names by regex and then convert them to CS, before the processing starts. This method is a bit more brute-force and lots more error prone. I can think of lots of stuff that would go wrong. I'd consider it a last-ditch idea in case the CS compiler wasn't easily monkey-patchable.

Sorry, but that was not my concern when I asked you about the implementation.

I'd like to know how you think this should be implemented in the Rails side.

Given that the CS compiler detected "product_path(id)", how should it proceed to replace it with JS or CS code?

Ok, give me an evening to read the internals of routing and I'll come back to you with some suggestions/code.


No pressure at all :) I'm using a patched version of js-routes right now:

https://github.com/railsware/js-routes/pull/46

I'd certainly appreciate your effort on that, but I'd just like to advice you on thinking about the solution in the Rails side first as I guess this is the hardest part.

You can take a look at the js-routes source code to have some ideas though.
