Redirecting in Rails 4

Question

Sorry for the nub question. I GTSed this like crazy but came up empty. I'm trying to redirect my page to a draft page but I have no idea what syntax to use. This is where I'm trying to redirect to:

"/stories/:id/draft"

My routes:

# Stories Routes
resources :stories
delete "/stories", to: "stories#destroy"
get "/stories/:id/draft", to: "stories#draft"

This is what I have so far. I don't know how to add the /draft part

redirect_to story_path(story.id) 

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can modify your route like this named route:

get "/stories/:id/draft", to: "stories#draft", as: :stories_draft

which will provide you with this:

stories_draft GET    /stories/:id/draft(.:format) stories#draft

So, then you can call:

redirect_to stories_draft_path(story)

or,

redirect_to stories_draft_path(story.id)

Answer 2

The way that I like to do this is

  match "/stories/:id/draft" => "stories#draft", :as => :stories_draft, via: :all # stories_draft(story.id)
