Hi, I see Rails default routes are now such a mess.
Here’s the output of bin/rails routes
command for empty routes file.

Before Rails routes become like this, I can simply explain “OK, this command shows what are actually defined from what you write in config/routes.rb
”, but now I need to add “… plus auto-generated by Rails which are related to ActiveStorage and ActionMailbox you don’t need to understand now and I know little about them, and conductor are something that doesn’t exist now”.
This can also surprise developers who define routes like
Rails.application.routes.draw do
resource :mails
end
and then run bin/rails routes | grep mail
.
My point is that new developers (and maybe seasoned ones) can be confused by this output. These can be hidden by default so that the output of bin/rails routes
will be much, much cleaner.
