Naming controllers in modules?

Rails
1

Hey guys.

I noticed in an example from the active scaffold documentation that it
seems to be possible to put rails controllers in modules, a la “class
Admin::CompaniesController < ApplicationController”. Does anyone know
anything about this? What do you name the file? Do you put it in a
subdirectory?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just: script/generate model controlelr admin::companies
And that is was!

It will create a controller named CompanyController in a subdir named
admin. From the ruby point of view, CompanyController belongs to admin
namespace (class Admin::CompanyController)

Funny, I just started using this and wanted to understand exactly that.

I can’t test it in my app right now, but I’d venture a guess that it
would map to: admin/company/

Here’s a question… I notice you’re running the model generator as
well. Does that mean I would not be able to “share” a Company model
between two different controller namespaces, say
Admin::CompanyController and Guest::CompanyController?

Best regards,
Mauricio

thanks, thats very helpful. one more question: what address does this
get mapped to? …/admin/companies doesn’t seem to work…?
