Remove "index" from url in Rails

I'm currently defining routes for my pages in the following manner:

  get "home/index"

  get "photo/index"

  get "project/index"

  get "home/about"

  root :to => 'home#index'

However, I can only seem to be able to create a link to the photo/project index pages by using:

<a href="/photo/index">link</a>
<a href="/project/index">link</a>

In the URL, the "index" part also shows up. I can't simple use /photo in the a link, because rails throws a routing error:

No route matches [GET] "/photo"

How would I create a route match for this?

The best answer is to use match. Don't forget to include via to preserve your restriction on the http method:

match "/photo", to: "controller#action", :via => 'get'
