Greetings,
I am trying to implement a "context" system similar to the one used by GitHub. For example, a Post may be created belonging either to the User or one of the Companies the User belongs to depending on whether to User is in the "User" context or a context that refers to one of the Companies.
As a part of this, I'd like to be able to do routing based on the user's current context. For example, if the User is in their own context, /dashboard should route to users/show, but if they are in the context for Company with ID 35, then /dashboard should route to companies/35/dashboard.
I could route /dashboard to a special controller responsible for making such decisions, such as context#dashboard which could then do a redirect_to, but this doesn't feel quite right (perhaps because we're taking logic that the Rails routing module should be responsible for and moving it to a controller?)
What would be the proper way to solve this problem in Rails 3?
