How to add root route pointing to a page in Ruby on Rails 5 with Ancestry Gem

I'm using the Ancestry Gem for my project. How do I set the root path to one of the Ancestry paths?

My page named home looks like this: http://127.0.0.1:3000/pages/15. It's ideal to have http://127.0.0.1:3000/pages/home and not the home id, but that's the next challenge.

I started with: 

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  # resources :pages
  ...
  root 'pages#index', as: 'pages_index'
  ...
end

And of course it showed me the list of pages, but I would like to target the page named home, or in this case id 15. How do I do this?

Solution

  • You could use defaults:

    root 'pages#show', defaults: { id: 15 }
