#35 Custom REST Actions
May 23, 2007 | 8 minutes | Controllers, Routing
REST adds many constraints. It restricts your controllers to seven actions. Normally this is okay, but sometimes you need to add your own custom actions. Learn how in this episode.
routes.rb
map.resources :tasks, :collection => { :completed => :get }, :member => { :complete => :put }
tasks/index.rhtml
<%= link_to "Mark as complete", complete_task_path(task), :method => :put %> ... <%= link_to "Completed Tasks", completed_tasks_path %>
