Sure. You have it basically right, but let me elaborate.
I have models like so:
class Papa < ActiveRecord::Base; abstract_class = true; end
class Daughter < Papa; end
class Son < Papa; end
I have this controller:
class PapaController < ApplicationController
def new; @model = new_model; end
def new_model
params[:type].classify.constantize.new # there's more safety logic
here in reality, but this is the gist
end
end
I started with the default route:
map.resources :papa
So, then, I can create a new son by doing GET /papa/new?type=son,
which is fine, but not ideal. Ideally, I would do GET /son/new, but it
would still use the Papa controller, and set params[:type] to "son".
This is what I have right now:
map.resources :papa, :path_prefix => '/:type'
which allows me to GET /son/papa/new, and create links like
papa_path(@model.type.to_s.downcase, @model).
So the question is how to make these specs pass:
params_from(:get, "/son/new").should == {:controller => 'papa',
:action => 'new', :type => 'son'}
params_from(:get, "/daughter/new").should == {:controller => 'papa',
:action => 'new', :type => 'daughter'}
Is that clearer?
Thanks,
Ian
