How can I make my custom url helpers in rails?












0















I'd like this custom url helper to be accessible from controllers, views, tests... Ending with both _url and _path. Also it should have the possibility to add parameters at the end as a url helper.



def reviews(reviewable)
"/reviews/#{reviewable.class}/#{reviewable.id}"
end
reviews_url Book.find(1) # /reviews/Book/1
reviews_path Film.find(3) # /reviews/Film/3


Review.reviewable is polymorphic.



config/routes



get "reviews/:reviewable_type/:reviewable_id" => "reviews#index"

          I would just define the routes as:



          resources :books do
          resources :reviews, only: [:new, :create, :index]
          end

          resources :films do
          resources :reviews, only: [:new, :create, :index]
          end


          This will create the routes as:



          books/:book_id/reviews
          films/:film_id/reviews


          This is the conventional RESTful way to define nested resources. And more importantly it works with the Rails polymorphic route helpers.



          You can use routing concerns to DRY it if needed.



          concern :reviewable do
          resources :reviews, only: [:new, :create, :index]
          end

          resources :books, concerns: :reviewable
          resources :films, concerns: :reviewable


          It gives you the named route helpers book_reviews_path(@book) and film_reviews_path(@film). You can also use the polymorphic route helpers:



          <%= link_to "Reviews for #{@reviewable.title}" [@reviewable, :reviews] %>
          ...
          <%= form_for([@reviewable, @reviewable.review.new]) do %>
          ...
          redirect_to [@reviewable, :reviews], notice: 'Review created'
