Routing to default resource but use the same resource with ID

I'm using the default resource in my routes.rb to add clients to my applications via resources :clients. But I'd like to be able to access that new page of clients via a group_id aswell.

So I want access like /clients/new/ and as clients/new/1/ or something.

I've tried adding my group to my path like new_client_path(group) but it gives me a .3 and showing the params shows that the 3 is called 'format'.

So, Long story short: How can I get a group_id to my clients/new/ page?

Thanks in advance

You can use nested resources:

resources :groups
  resources :clients
end

Now to get new client form with group id set you just need:

new_group_client_path(group)

assuming, of course, that group variable holds an Group instance.

If you don't want to use nested resources, you can set group_id this way

new_client_path(group_id: group)
