Scaffolding with deep-nested routes
ruby, ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-3, scaffolding
Solution
As far as I know, there is no way to create nested routes via the standard rails3 scaffolding, however, I did a quick search and came up with this gem: https://github.com/amatsuda/nested_scaffold
For reference, I found it via this similar question: Nested scaffold generator for Rails 3?
Hope that helps.
Problem
So I have a project that has routes as such: routes.rb ``` resources :projects do resources :messages resources :lists do resources :tasks end end ``` However, I want to add in time tracking for each task that I create, turning my routing into: routes.rb ``` resources :projects do resources :messages resources :lists do resources :tasks do resources :timetracks end end end ``` I want to scaffold the basics of my MVC and then go in and make necessary changes or edits, but how do I scaffold so that my controllers and views conform with my routing? Or is that even possible? To elaborate further, when I typed this into the console: `rails generate scaffold timetrack hours:float date:datetime description:string task:references` I get the normal scaffolding files, but all of the routes are formatted as such: `http://localhost:3000/timetracks/` When really, I would like them to be: `http://localhost:3000/projects/1/lists/1/tasks/1/timetracks/` I know you can do this manually in the controllers and views, but is there any way I can have this generate while performing my scaffolding?
