How to rewrite below URL
127.0.0.1:3000/article/index?type=1
as
127.0.0.1:3000/article/category/brand
where type 1 is category with name brand.
is it possible using rails?
route.rb
get "article/index"
article_controller.rb
def index
@article = Article.find(params[:type])
end
article.rb //model
class Article < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :category
end
link to this route
<%= link_to category.name, {:controller => "article", :action => "index", :type => category.id }%>
Rails doesn't provide what you are trying to achieve out of the box. Here I give you some suggestions to get you where you wanted to go.
get "articles/category/:id" => "articles#index", as: "articles_by_category"
As such nothing wrong with your configuration but not a good practice. Learn more about it here
Use https://github.com/norman/friendly_id Gem. Follow usage guide https://github.com/norman/friendly_id#usage to install and configure it.
models/category.rb
class Category < ApplicationRecord
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :name, use: :slugged
has_many :articles
end
<%= link_to category.name, articles_by_category_path(category.id) %>
article_controller.rb
def index
@articles = Category.friendly.find(params[:id]).articles
end
P.S. the assumption here is there will be multiple articles for given category.
