Isn’t it just amazing how simple some people can make things seem when the rest of us go all around the world to do the same thing. Thanks for reminding me to KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Thanks for the clarification, Brent – I’ve cleaned up the post.

As the author of the feature, I’m here to clear up a bit of confusion…

When you use the shallow option, it does not generate both routes… any routes that reference an explicit id will not require the parent id, but any routes that do not will.

For example, given the above example of users/articles/comments…

The path for all user would be: /users The path for a specific user would be: /users/1

The path for all articles for a user would be: /users/1/articles The path for a specific article would be: /articles/2 This is instead of /users/1/articles/2 (which is what it would be without the shallow option)

Similarly…

The path for all comments for a given article would be: /articles/2/comments The path for a specific comment would be: /comments/3

If you want a route for ALL comments (or ALL articles) you’d need to explicitly map it.

One other enhancement that goes along with this is the :has_many option has been extended to support nesting in a similar manner to the :include option in ActiveRecord finds.

e.g. map.resources :users, :shallow => true, :has_many => { :articles => :comments }

cheers.

Hi Ryan!

Thanks so much…I have been searching for an intelligent way to put it…your letter was a huge help!

Hi Ryan,

These routes are not generated :

articles_path #=> ’/articles’ comments_path #=> ’/comments’

This is probably a bug.

Thanks.

Hey Scott,

Why not help instead of just leaving comments ? Least you could do is make an actual wishlist of things you would like to see changed/implemented in AM. You never know, it might actually happen ;-)

Hey Ryan, thanks for all of the excellent info! Your blog has been responsible for countless improvements to the efficiency of my coding : )

I do have a suggestion regarding the format of the site: sometimes if I don’t hit the blog in a while, I can’t tell which “Edge Rails” entries refer to the current Edge or versions that have since gone into production. I wonder if you could add the version number somewhere in those entries?

Keep up the great writing!
