How do I render a rails named route properly from controller?
routes.rb:
get "logout" => "sessions#destroy", :as => "logout"
get "login" => "sessions#new", :as => "login"
get "signup" => "users#new", :as => "signup"
root :to => "home#index"
resources :users
resources :sessions
resources :likes
user_controller.rb:
def new
@user = User.new
end
def create
@user = User.new params[:user]
if @user.save
login(params[:user][:email], params[:user][:password])
redirect_to root_url, :notice => "Welcome! You have signed up successfully."
else
render :new
end
end
Problem is: the signup page is on /signup
and when the data in @user
is not filled out properly and render :new
is called, instead of going to the url /signup
it goes to /users
. I would use redirect_to
but id prefer not to because I want the errors saved off on the page to tell the users which data was not provided.
Update after added match "signup" => "users#create", :via => "post"
root / {:controller=>"home", :action=>"index"}
users GET /users(.:format) {:action=>"index", :controller=>"users"}
POST /users(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"users"}
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"users"}
user GET /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"users"}
PUT /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"update", :controller=>"users"}
DELETE /users/:id(.:format) {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"users"}
signup GET /signup(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"users"}
POST /signup(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"users"}
Thanks
Add this route also:
match "signup" => "users#create", :via => "post"
