How to add a custom RESTful route to a Rails app?

Question

I\'m reading these two pages

1. resources
2. Adding more RESTful actions

The Rails Guides page shows

map.resources :photos, :new          


        

Answer 1

The new option allows you to create new routes for creating new objects. That's why they're prefixed with that term.

What you're looking for is the :collection option.

map.resources :users, :collection => { :signup => :get, :register => :post }

Which will create the /users/signup and /users/register urls.
