rails latest stable - Class: ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper::Mapping::Scoping

namespace(path, options = {}, &block)

public

Scopes routes to a specific namespace. For example:

namespace :admin do
  resources :posts
end

This generates the following routes:

    admin_posts GET       /admin/posts(.:format)          admin/posts#index
    admin_posts POST      /admin/posts(.:format)          admin/posts#create
 new_admin_post GET       /admin/posts/new(.:format)      admin/posts#new
edit_admin_post GET       /admin/posts/:id/edit(.:format) admin/posts#edit
     admin_post GET       /admin/posts/:id(.:format)      admin/posts#show
     admin_post PATCH/PUT /admin/posts/:id(.:format)      admin/posts#update
     admin_post DELETE    /admin/posts/:id(.:format)      admin/posts#destroy

Options

The :path, :as, :module, :shallow_path, and :shallow_prefix options all default to the name of the namespace.

For options, see Base#match. For :shallow_path option, see Resources#resources.

# accessible through /sekret/posts rather than /admin/posts
namespace :admin, path: "sekret" do
  resources :posts
end

# maps to +Sekret::PostsController+ rather than +Admin::PostsController+
namespace :admin, module: "sekret" do
  resources :posts
end

# generates +sekret_posts_path+ rather than +admin_posts_path+
namespace :admin, as: "sekret" do
  resources :posts
end

        # === Parameter Restriction
        # Allows you to constrain the nested routes based on a set of rules.
        # For instance, in order to change the routes to allow for a dot character in the +id+ parameter:
        #
        #   constraints(id: /\d+\.\d+/) do
        #     resources :posts
        #   end
        #
        # Now routes such as +/posts/1+ will no longer be valid, but +/posts/1.1+ will be.
        # The +id+ parameter must match the constraint passed in for this example.
        #
        # You may use this to also restrict other parameters:
        #
        #   resources :posts do
        #     constraints(post_id: /\d+\.\d+/) do
        #       resources :comments
        #     end
        #   end
        #
        # === Restricting based on IP
        #
        # Routes can also be constrained to an IP or a certain range of IP addresses:
        #
        #   constraints(ip: /192\.168\.\d+\.\d+/) do
        #     resources :posts
        #   end
        #
        # Any user connecting from the 192.168.* range will be able to see this resource,
        # where as any user connecting outside of this range will be told there is no such route.
        #
        # === Dynamic request matching
        #
        # Requests to routes can be constrained based on specific criteria:
        #
        #    constraints(-> (req) { /iPhone/.match?(req.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) }) do
        #      resources :iphones
        #    end
        #
        # You are able to move this logic out into a class if it is too complex for routes.
        # This class must have a +matches?+ method defined on it which either returns +true+
        # if the user should be given access to that route, or +false+ if the user should not.
        #
        #    class Iphone
        #      def self.matches?(request)
        #        /iPhone/.match?(request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"])
        #      end
        #    end
        #
        # An expected place for this code would be +lib/constraints+.
        #
        # This class is then used like this:
        #
        #    constraints(Iphone) do
        #      resources :iphones
        #    end
        def constraints(constraints = {}, &block)
          scope(constraints: constraints, &block)
        end

        # Allows you to set default parameters for a route, such as this:
        #   defaults id: 'home' do
        #     match 'scoped_pages/(:id)', to: 'pages#show'
        #   end
        # Using this, the +:id+ parameter here will default to 'home'.
