I am new to rails and I would like to know that if there is a way to change the name of the routes. I will explain the sentence in a minute. I have a controller named users_controller and below is the code that I have in my controller:
def create
if @user.save
redirect_to @user
end
And my routes.rb file is as below:
resources :users
get '/users/:id', to: 'users#show'
Now suppose I have a form and I fill it correctly then I will be redirected to localhost:3000/users/id(id = some value) which I do. Now I want this URL to be like localhost:3000/registered . That is when i click the submit button and if everything is correct I wanted to see the URL as localhost:3000/registered which takes me to my show action or which works just like localhost:3000/users/id(id = some value). I don't want the ID to be visible.
For this I tried get 'registered', to: 'users#show' but still I see the same URL as localhost:3000/users/id(id = some value). Please tell me how to do this.
And here is my show action
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
end
I tried another way by making another action into the same controller. I made index action in my users_controller and executed then I got a No method Error
At last, from the discussions I had it has been cleared that there is no way to hide your ID, but we can change the way they appear on the browser. One and suggested way is to create a hash for the ID and use it to display the item in show action or the other way is to redirect your action to some static page.
