Nested model routes in ruby on rails app

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

In my app I have a user model, school model, course model, and a syllabus model. A user or school could create courses which I have set through a polymorphic association (course belongs_to :hostable, and school/user has_many :courses, as: :hostable) , and a course has_one syllabus. My question is how to configure the routes for the nested course model which also has a syllabus model nested within it.

resources :users do
  resources :courses do
   resources :syllabus
  end 
    member do
    put :enroll
   end
  end

 resources :schools do
  resources :courses do 
   resources :syllabuses
  end
   member do
  put :apply, :enroll
  end
end

So users can enroll in courses by clicking a button on the course page, in my courses controller I have:

def enroll
  @course = Course.find(params[:id])
  current_user.coursegroups.create(host_course_id: @course.id, role: 'applicant')
  respond_with @course
end

So, is this the correct way to configure my routes?
