Given this route structure:
routes:
namespace :api do
resources :templates do
resources :template_items
end
end
I scaffolded the template_items controller (but cannot recall exactly what I specified) but it gave me this create action:
# POST /template_items
def create
@template_item = TemplateItem.new(template_item_params)
if @template_item.save
render json: @template_item, status: :created, location: @template_item
else
render json: @template_item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
end
end
The location throws an error:
NoMethodError (undefined method `template_item_url'
for #<Api::TemplateItemsController:0x007fe84774fba8>
So I changed it to:
url_for([:api, @template_item])
which failed also:
NoMethodError (undefined method `api_template_item_url'
So then I tried:
url_for([:api, :template, @template_item])
which failed with this:
ActionController::UrlGenerationError
(No route matches

I've read the docs, but it does not appear to explain how to do this for nested resources.
What is the correct way to generate the location url for a nested resource?
Not at all obvious from the docs, but I figured it out:
location: url_for([:api, @template_item.template, @template_item])
is how to do it.
