Is there a way to look up the HTML for a given controller action? For example, I would like to be able to associate GET with index and PUT with update. I want to be able to do this dynamically based on the routes.
I can get the action methods for each controller using Controller.action_methods, but this returns a set of strings of action methods. Ideally what I would like is a hash of the form: {:action => :verb}.
Read the rake routes task, that will provide insight:
e.g:
users GET /users(.:format) {:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"}
I assume this is what you are after?
:method is part of a :conditions hash you can pass in to map.connect
map.connect 'post/:id', :controller => 'posts', :action => 'create_comment',
:conditions => { :method => :get }
To provide a useful object with all controllers, actions, and associated verbs
def all_routes
@all_routes ||= Rails.application.routes.routes.map do |route|
{ alias: route.name,
path: route.path.spec.to_s,
controller: route.defaults[:controller],
action: route.defaults[:action],
verb: route.verb.source.to_s.delete('$'+'^')
}
end
end
