How to remove ControllerName from a Rails Resource? -

i wish map new_user path of user resource 'root_domain/new' url. routes.rb looks this:

  #new_user      /users/new(.:format)                        users#new    # user resource   match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]   resources :users     collection       match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]     end     end 

so while i'm able hit /new url desired action with

  match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post] 

but new_user path still leads '/users/new'. how remove controller_name new_user method?

your new_user_path takes user#new because that's how rails build resourceful routes. have @ rails guides learn more. need pass as: option routes in order give them proper helper methods like:

post '/home' => "home#index", as: :home 

this give 2 helpers home_path , home_url

now have

resources :users   collection     match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post]   end   end 

if rake routes in terminal you'll see new_user helpers assigned user#new. you need give different path helper , assign new_user helpers custom route

resources :users   collection     match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post], as: :old_new_user   end   end 

and can use new_user helper custom route

match 'new', :to => 'users#new', via: [:get, :post], as: :new_user  

you can check path helper doing rake routes in terminal
