Well, the routes file (with the exception of the map.root is generated
by rails. Here it is:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :families
map.resources :users
# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created ->
highest priority.
# Sample of regular route:
# map.connect 'products/:id', :controller => 'catalog', :action =>
'view'
# Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller
and :action
# Sample of named route:
# map.purchase 'products/:id/purchase', :controller =>
'catalog', :action => 'purchase'
# This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)
# Sample resource route with options:
# map.resources :products, :member => { :short => :get, :toggle
=> :post }, :collection => { :sold => :get }
# Sample resource route with sub-resources:
# map.resources :products, :has_many =>
[ :comments, :sales ], :has_one => :seller
# Sample resource route within a namespace:
# map.namespace :admin do |admin|
# # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController (app/
controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
# admin.resources :products
# end
# You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just
remember to delete public/index.html.
map.root :controller => "users"
# See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"
# Install the default routes as the lowest priority.
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
end
When I do a rake routes I get:
families GET /families
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"index"}
formatted_families GET /families.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"index"}
POST /families
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"create"}
POST /families.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"create"}
new_family GET /families/new
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"new"}
formatted_new_family GET /families/new.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"new"}
edit_family GET /families/:id/edit
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"edit"}
formatted_edit_family GET /families/:id/edit.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"edit"}
family GET /families/:id
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"show"}
formatted_family GET /families/:id.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"show"}
PUT /families/:id
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"update"}
PUT /families/:id.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"update"}
DELETE /families/:id
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"destroy"}
DELETE /families/:id.:format
{:controller=>"families", :action=>"destroy"}
users GET /users
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"}
formatted_users GET /users.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"}
POST /users
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"create"}
POST /users.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"create"}
new_user GET /users/new
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"new"}
formatted_new_user GET /users/new.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"new"}
edit_user GET /users/:id/edit
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"edit"}
formatted_edit_user GET /users/:id/edit.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"edit"}
user GET /users/:id
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"show"}
formatted_user GET /users/:id.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"show"}
PUT /users/:id
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"update"}
PUT /users/:id.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"update"}
DELETE /users/:id
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"destroy"}
DELETE /users/:id.:format
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"destroy"}
root /
{:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"}
/:controller/:action/:id
/:controller/:action/:id.:format
Boy, I wish there was some documentation of what's going on here...
Thanks for any help

No. The helpers you’re looking for are defined automatically by the map.resources stuff in routes.rb, which you yourself verified in the rake task.
