REST API routes configuation in rails

Hi, I am trying to implement a web service with REST API. So when I type in the url as localhost:3000/users/new/id/6235/name/david/age/12, I need to access the params of id,name and age in my controller.

So params[:id] => 6235 params[:name] => david params[:age]=> 12

How do I achieve it with proper routes configuration

the url as *localhost:3000/users/new/id/6235/name/david/age/12*, I need to access the params of id,name and age in my controller.

So params[:id] => 6235 params[:name] => david params[:age]=> 12

With the little context you've provided, the best I can offer is the following guess:

The route:

  :get '/users/new/:id/:name/:age'

and the URL:

  localhost:3000/users/new/6235/david/12

Is that what you're looking for?

Cheers, -Chris

I would strongly recommend that you study how the default restful routes for a Rails-scaffolded model work first.

It would also be good to read up on the concept of REST itself and specifically, "Section 9: Safe and Idempotent Methods" of RFC 2616 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt).

Then decide if you really need to address your problem differently.

Good luck.

The url that I would enter (for testing purpose )would be like below.

http://our.api.com/term/pumas/productType/clothing/color/black

So the term is pumas, productType is clothing and color is black.

Hope this would give you more clarity

Thanks

[http://our.api.com/term/pumas/productType/clothing/color/black](http://our.api.com/term/pumas/productType/clothing/color/black)

So the term is pumas, productType is clothing and color is black.
