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

This works for me:

In routers.db

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  post '/posts', to: 'posts#create'
  get '/posts', to: 'posts#list_all'
end

In posts_controler.rb

class PostsController < ApplicationController
    def create
        new_post = Post.create( content: params[:content], user_id: params[:user_id] )
        render json: { post: new_post }
    end

    def list_all
        request = Post.all
        render json: { all_posts: request }
    end
end

So each action is referred to one different function
