how to set up and use a Rails routes prefix

Question

When running rake routes I see:

 Prefix   Verb   URI Pattern                                       Controller#Action
 articles  GET    /articles(.:format)               


        

Answer 1

You can also use route scopes for it. In your routes.rb file:

Rails.application.routes.draw do

  # Any other routes here
  scope 'admin' do
    resources :articles
  end
end

/admin/articles and all the other CRUD related routes will work with link_to, form submit controls, etc.
