Handling has_one nested resource in Rails 3

Question

I got a User model and a About model. The about model is a page where users have more info about them that due its nature is more appropriate to have it on a separate model

Answer 1

You can use scope and controller blocks to cut down on the verbiage:

  scope "/:username" do
    controller :abouts do
      get 'about' => :show
      post 'about' => :create
      get 'about/add' => :new
      get 'about/edit' => :edit
    end
  end

which produces:

     about GET /:username/about(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"abouts"}
           POST /:username/about(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"abouts"}
 about_add GET /:username/about/add(.:format) {:controller=>"abouts", :action=>"new"}
about_edit GET /:username/about/edit(.:format) {:controller=>"abouts", :action=>"edit"}
