Change route path in Rails

Question

I have a resource that I would like to change the path of.

resources :blog_posts

That makes the path localhost:3000/blog_posts/:id

How do I make it so it instead of having the "blog_posts" in front of it, the id comes right after, like this? localhost:3000/:id

I'm guessing there's a way to make this dynamic, so I don't have to do a get for every new blog post.

ANSWER

get '/:id', to: 'blog_posts#show', as: :show_blog_post

You need the as: :show_blog_post because the prefix won't be there. For example, you'll be able to call show_blog_post_path(@blog_post)

Answer 1

You can define another route like: get '/:id', to: 'blog_posts#show'
