In order to keep the controllers directory tidy, we recently started to namespace controllers. With the :controller option you can tell Rails which controller to use for a path or resource. For nested resources, Rails will determine the view path from this option, too.
That means the following code in routes.rb …
resources :users do
resource :profile, controller: 'users/profiles' #[1]
end
… makes Rails expect the following directory structure:
app/
controllers/
users/
profiles_controller.rb
users_controller.rb
...
views/
users/
profiles/
show.html.haml
index.html.haml
...
Note:
- the user profiles controller must be named
Users::ProfilesController - [1] specifying the controller as
'user/...'would make Rails expect views inview/user/...(singular)
The better approache might be to use a module. See this card on how to namespace with modules
