How to construct the following JSONAPI url in Rails?

Im following http://jsonapi.org/format/#document-top-level

I notice the following end-point (route):

/articles/1/relationships/author

In Rails, how would this route be contstructed in routes.rb?

resources :articles do
  # What goes here?
  # Should relationship be a namespace or other?
  # I guess author can be defined as a collection, or just a simple get
end

relationships doesn't need to have any of the 7 RESTFUL actions.

The scope :'/relationships' didn't work for me (At least in Rails 5).

I got it working with this:

resources :articles do
  resources :author, path: 'relationships/author'
end

This will just use the AuthorController and map it to /articles/:id/relationships/author.

The route should be like following code snippets:

resources :articles do
   resources :relationships, :only => [] do
     collection do 
       get :author
     end
   end
end

This is how the route file should look like. Please let me know if any update needed.

Bouncing on my idea of concerns, as you probably will have to use this in several resources (the rails doc is quite well-written)

concern :has_author do
  scope '/relationships' do
    resource :author
  end
end

resources :articles, concerns :has_author

Which is equivalent to

resources :articles do
  scope :'/relationships' do
    resource :author
  end
end
