Route alias in Rails

Question

I have a model stories in Rails 3.

I want to make an alias \"books\" for \"stories\" so I can have routes /books/192 instead of /stories/192

Answer 1

resources :stories, :path => :books

If you want to rename the path AND helper methods, then you do:

resources :stories, :path => :books, :as => :books

See: Overriding the Named Helpers

Answer 2

That's why they made the path option on match which is also available on resources:

resources :stories, :path => "books"

Answer 3

Try something like this:

match 'books/:id' => 'books#show'
match 'books' => 'books#index'
