Rails - Jul 2010 - Handling URL parameters with routes

Hi,

Rails 2.3.4
Ruby 1.8.7

I''m having trouble handling parameters in routes. I want to be able to
handle "?x=1&y=2" style url parameters.

# Here''s the route:
map.connect "schools/list/:country/:province/:city",
    :controller => "schools",
    :action     => "list",
    :country    => nil,
    :province   => nil,
    :city       => nil

# This works:
>> rs.recognize_path "/schools/list/US"
=> {:controller=>"schools", :action=>"list",
:country=>"US"}

# This doesn''t - why not?

rs.recognize_path "/schools/list?country=US"

ActionController::RoutingError: No route matches "/schools/list?
country=US" with {}
    from /home/dberger/Repositories/globe_village/vendor/rails/
actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing/recognition_optimisation.rb:
66:in `recognize_path''

I guess I thought Rails handled url parameters automatically. No?

Regards,

Dan

Hi,

You need to mention that as a separate route.
Just add this additional line in your routes...


map.connect "schools/list/:country/:province/:city",
     :controller => "schools",
     :action     => "list",
     :country    => nil,
     :province   => nil,
     :city       => nil

map.connect "schools/list", :controller => "schools",
:action => "list"
