How to handle multiple HTTP methods in the same Rails controller action

Question

Let\'s say I want to support both GET and POST methods on the same URL. How would I go about handling that in a rails controller action?

Answer 1

You can check if it was a post using request.post?

if request.post?
  #handle posts
else
  #handle gets
end

To get your routes to work:

resources :photos do
  member do
    get 'preview'
    post 'preview'
  end
end
