Action alias

Rails Deployment
1

This is my current ActionController code.

def index
list
render :action => ‘list’
end

def list
end

I wished this would work

alias index list

def list
end

But the problem is rails tries to render index.rhtml, instead of
list.rhtml when index action is invoked.

I want to be able write something like this

action_alias index list

which would add a method index to the class programatically.

please advise

Why don’t you make that action you are aliasing to, render the
template you want it to render.

render :template => “somedir/somefile”

As I have shown in the example, I have that as my current code, I was
looking to make it more concise.

Maybe you can play with routes.rb

if you really just want one of those instead of two,
if you do it the RESTful way: get rid of the list action,
and stick with just the index action.
