Hi,
Are :index, :new, :create, :show, :update, :create, :delete actions keywords in the router?
For instance, is a route to '/' and :index action in controller always a GET rest operation?
And does there always have to be an :index action? I would like to create a GET ‘/’ operation, but with my own custom function name, not named index. Is that possible?

The
resourcesmacro is meant to create a common rest setup for a controller, but you can always create other routes usingget,post, … macros.phoebe
Thanks, I should have asked, are the 7 actions reserved keywords? E.g. with a
Usermodel, is:indexalways with GET and/users, and:showis with GET and/users/:id, etc.?NobbZ
No, using the
resourcemacro just sets up a bunch of conventional routes, if you specify them one by one, you can use whatever scheme and names you want for your actions.
