Add RESTful Action
- by Drew Rush
The source of my information is section 2.9 here:
[http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#connecting-urls-to-code][1]
What I'm trying to do is add a custom action "search" and corresponding view.
So, as it says to do in the documentation, I've added this code in my config/routes.rb file:
resources :dimensions do
collection do
get "search"
end
end
I've also defined in the dimensions_controller file:
def search
@dimensions = Dimension.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # search.html.erb
format.json { render json: @dimensions }
end
end
I then stopped and restarted the rails server, but when I navigate to /dimensions/home, I'm still getting this error message:
Couldn't find Dimension with id=search
Also showing that my parameter is:
{"id"=>"search"}
So am I just missing another bit of code that gives the instruction to interpret /dimension/search as a collection action as opposed to the show action?
Thanks for your time.
