Controller doesn't equal to model name in Rails

Question

Hello,

I've model called BlogPost and controller called BlogPostsController that has all basic CRUD methods for BlogPost.

I'm trying to understand how I can route users to have URL like /blog/post-name instead of /blog_posts/post-name and "disable" in general URL /blog_posts. Should I rename my controller or should I change routes (and how)?

Answer 1

Update your routes and add the :as option to your blog post resource route

map.resources :blog_posts, :as => 'blogs'
