I have an application, built with Rails 3.1.3, that has products and
categories. The categories are related to other categories, so a category
can be a parent or a child category. The products are then related to a
child category.
Now, I'm thinking about how I should define the routes. Is it a good idea
to somehow nest the categories and products resources? Ideally, I would
like URLs like this:
example.com/parent/child/product-1234
like this:
example.com/clothes/underwear/some-socks-1234
or maybe like this to keep it restful?
example.com/p/clothes/c/underwear/....
But maybe that's a bit messy to achieve with the routes? I would have to
nest the category with itself I guess?
Any ideas on how to achieve something like this?
Do I create the category routes like this:
resources :categories, :as => "parent" do
resources :categories, :as => "child"
end
or similar?
It's not that important to have the product nested inside the categories.
Maybe it will just make it hard to manage...
