SelectiveMapper
Selectively map resource routes to allow cleaner nesting of resources without having to specify redundant ids for parent resources.
IMPORTANT
A patch I submitted to edge rails recently has been accepted.
The update adds a :shallow option to the resources method eliminating my original need for this plugin.
This reduces the example from this document from ...
map.resources :companies do |company|
company.resources :people, :only => [ :collection, :new ]
end
map.resources :people, :except => [ :collection, :new ]
... to ...
map.resources :companies, :shallow => true do |company|
company.resources :people
end
... or ...
map.resources :companies, :shallow => true, :has_many => :people
Example
map.resources :companies do |company|
company.resources :people, :only => [ :collection, :new ]
end
map.resources :people, :except => [ :collection, :new ]
Results in...
