Hello,
I''m having trouble making my application restful. I want to show posts
between 2 dates.
For example posts between march 2007 and may 2007. I don''t know how to
represent this timespan a single resource because it has 2 parts: from
and to. The url I''m looking for is something like this /from/
01-03-2007/to/01-05-2007/posts
But that means that there are 3 resources here: "From" resource,
"To"
resource and "Posts".
And nested routes would look something like this:
map.resources :from do |from|
from.resources :to do |to|
to.resources :posts
end
end
Is this solution ok, or there is some more elegant way of solving
this?
Thanks

How about start date and timespan, so start-dates are the basis of your url and timespan is a parameter.

You mean like /from/01-03-2007/posts?to=01-05-2007 ?

Well maybe, but you can get rid of the from and have posts/01-03-2007?to=01-05-2007 and if there is no ''to'' you''d just get the posts on the day.

I too am looking for a good way to expose a date parameter in a url using restful routing... I''d like to stay away from query string parameters (i.e. ?/&) in pursuit of cleaner urls without potential caching/search engine difficulties. For example, I like how Dopplr structures their urls quite a bit (probably using map.connect?): http://www.dopplr.com/traveller/adamjh/journal/2008/01/trips ... where 2008/01/trips are parameters used to scope journal results (2008/01 scopes the year/month, and trips filters the results to items of type ''trip'') Any ideas how I could achieve something similar with map.resources? :path_prefix can enable the type of parameter passing I need, but prepending them onto the url doesn''t yield the same logical structure I''m looking for (i.e. ability for a visitor to chop a parameter off the url and find herself a level higher in the site''s information architecture).
