Rails 3 Routes: DRY members

Question

I need to add the following member methods to a number of resources, is there a way to DRY this up?

 member do
    get   :votes
    post  :up_vote
    post           


        

Answer 1

Can't you just define a method in your routes files?

def foo
  member do
   get   :votes
   post  :up_vote
   post  :down_vote
  end
end


resources :news do
 resources :comments do
   foo
 end
end

Edit

I haven't used this technique before. It just seemed to work when I did 'rake routes'. Anyways, the routes file is just Ruby code. Just be careful about the name of the method you define because it's defined in the instance of ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper.

# routes.rb

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
  puts self
  puts y self.methods.sort
end

# Terminal
> rake routes
