I have namespaced Controller Entities::Customers
class Entities::CustomersController < ApplicationController
...
end
and namespaced ActiveRecord model:
class Entities::Customer < Entities::User
end
in my routes.rb file i have:
resources :customers, module: :entities
The module :entities is there because i don't want to have routes such as:
/entities/customers but only:
/customers.
The problem starts when i'm rendering my form:
<%= simple_form_for(@customer) do |f| %>
<%= f.input :email %>
<%= f.input :password %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
This throws error: undefined method `entities_customer_path' for Class..
So the error is that rails think that the correct path is with prefix entities.
Rake routes give me:
Prefix Verb URI Pattern Controller#Action
customers GET /customers(.:format) entities/customers#index
POST /customers(.:format) entities/customers#create
new_customer GET /customers/new(.:format) entities/customers#new
edit_customer GET /customers/:id/edit(.:format) entities/customers#edit
customer GET /customers/:id(.:format) entities/customers#show
PATCH /customers/:id(.:format) entities/customers#update
PUT /customers/:id(.:format) entities/customers#update
DELETE /customers/:id(.:format) entities/customers#destroy
Ok so after some struggling I've found a solution to this problem:
The simple_form_for(@model) generate route prefixed with entities, since it doesn't know there is scoped path in routes.
So in my _form
partial i had to manually tell rails which route to use depending on action_name
helper method in my partial.
<%
case action_name
when 'new', 'create'
action = send("customers_path")
method = :post
when 'edit', 'update'
action = send("customer_path", @customer)
method = :put
end
%>
<%= simple_form_for(@customer, url: action, method: method) do |f| %>
<%= f.input :email %>
<%= f.input :password %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<%= f.button :submit %>
<% end %>
